Alex Oliver Associates Architects

Alex Oliver Associates Architects focus is to create beautiful, well-crafted architecture, which is sympathetic to its surroundings, and which will stand the test of time. For over 20 years the practice has been dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and adaptation of historic buildings alongside the design of new buildings in sensitive locations.

Examples from Alex Oliver Associates portfolio include the conversion and restoration of a mews house a stone’s throw from Holland Park, renovation of a Grade II* listed Georgian townhouse and designs for a new Nash style classical villa in a historic parkland setting.

Today they are a dynamic team of architects who take great delight in creating fine architecture and sustainable environments. They design buildings that are suited to modern family life and that balance formality and informality through an architecture that draws on the strengths of both traditional and modern architecture.

Alex Oliver Associates has developed a reputation for designing buildings in the Classical style. Their approach to New Classical Architecture is based on a thorough understanding of the principles. As such their architecture values symmetry, proportion, harmony, order and craftmanship. They succeed in creating characterful buildings that are timeless and elegant, with a careful eye for details that ensure their buildings are unique and special.

The practice has a successful track record of working on the repair of listed buildings, and thoughtful architectural design solutions for complex and sensitive historic sites. As a result, Alex Oliver has been recognised as an Architect Accredited in Building Conservation (AABC). The practice’s approach is to combine their architectural expertise with a thorough understanding of the historic context of each building. They create solutions that are sensitive to the original architecture as well as being beautiful and sustainable. aoassociates.co.uk
