about us
We are a small company based in Whitstable, Kent, offering a full design and construction management service specialising in the high end bespoke homes. Our services are very flexible and we can take on as much or as little as you need. We have projects that range from fit-outs, and small extensions to large multi home new build developments.
We have a design focus creating stunning homes maximising space and liveability.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERRENT
Valo differs from other companies by having structural engineers and service designers in-house. This allows us to look in detail at how the final building functions from its inception. Designing in this way allows us to incorporate service runs and structure seamlessly, in ways that other designers are unable to achieve.
Most engineers work with architects once planning and internal layouts have been finalised. Then, when the structural elements and services are incorporated the spaces change, often resulting in ugly box outs and broken visual lines. Our emphasis on designing in these aspects at an early stage ensures the fundamental architectural concepts are protected. This results in beautiful spaces that function as originally intended. .
Our experience physically building our designs gives us invaluable insight not many other designers can offer. Finding out your contractor can not, or will not, build what your design team is specifying happens much more often than you’d think. This is a key stage of the project where your architectural visions can be compromised by designs that were not considered from a builders standpoint. But with our background we are confident that what we draw at the design stage is what will actually be built.
