Design shaped by
context, budget
& lifestyle.

Paulo Hanke is a Brazilian-born architect and designer based in London, with a degree in Architecture and Urban Design from Unisinos (2007). Since then, he has been transforming residential and commercial spaces across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

There is no set style. Every project is shaped by where it is, what it is, and who it's for. Paulo brings a rare combination of spatial intelligence, material fluency, and rigorous budget control to every commission.

His work encompasses architecture, interior design, fitted furniture, lighting, landscape, and full project management — delivering complete environments rather than isolated interiors.

Contractor tendering, works agreement, site management, and payment tied to deliverables. Final delivery on time and on budget.

Design that works as hard
as it looks beautiful.

Every project is bespoke

No templates, no house styles. Every decision — spatial, material, tonal — is made specifically for your property, your location, and the way you live.

Budget-conscious by design

Design and financial control go hand in hand. Paulo brings rigorous cost planning and contractor management so results meet expectations without surprises.

International experience

Projects delivered across the UK, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, and Portugal. A broad design sensibility grounded in different cultures, climates, and building traditions.

End-to-end service

From planning applications and architecture through to furniture specification and final styling — one point of contact, total creative and project coherence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work outside London?+
Yes. While most of our projects are based in London and the Home Counties, we have delivered work internationally including in Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, and Portugal. We're happy to discuss projects wherever you are.
What is your design style?+
We have no fixed style. Each project is shaped entirely by its location, the architecture of the property, and the requirements and preferences of the client. Our role is to listen carefully and translate what you need into great design.
Do you handle planning permission?+
Yes. We prepare and submit planning applications and liaise directly with local authorities and building control on your behalf. We manage the full regulatory process so you don't have to.
How do you manage the budget?+
Budget is discussed and agreed at the outset, and all design decisions are made with that budget in mind. We manage the contractor tender process, agree payment plans tied to deliverables, and provide ongoing cost oversight throughout the build.
What is the first step?+
The process begins with a site visit and an initial conversation about your project. Get in touch by email or WhatsApp and we'll arrange a time to meet at the property.
