Vonberg Architects is a specialist practice concerned with the alteration
and repair of listed historic buildings. We also design contemporary
interiors inspired by our work on many historic rooms. We offer
a very personal service founded on common sense and long experience.
We direct architectural and interior projects ranging from a few
thousand to a few million pounds in value.

Since
2002, Paul Vonberg has developed a practice centred around work on
two of the most historic private clubs in London.
Both the Reform Club, designed by Charles Barry and completed in 1841
and the Oxford and Cambridge Club, designed by Sir Robert Smirke and
completed in 1835, are engaged in a series of complex projects.
Given Paul’s insistence on being personally involved in almost
every detail of every project, one might imagine that he and his small
team of assistants would be fully occupied. On the contrary, we have
been able to take on a surprising amount of other work and are always
delighted to be approached by potential clients. |

The
projects shown here range from the highly technical to the purely
decorative, from the strictly architectural to what is more normally
thought of as interior design, and from the large to the very small.
On all these projects,
Paul Vonberg Architects has provided a full service including initial
research, planning and budgeting, the presentation of design ideas,
the securing of statutory consents, the production of technical drawings
and specifications, and the direction of work on site. |

Since
2008, we have also been commissioned to carry out a number of contemporary
projects, especially rooms within private houses and apartments where
our understanding of historic interiors has brought surprising benefits.
Many projects have benefited from being part of a long term relationship
between client, building and architect. This arrangement, much favoured
by English Heritage and with consequent advantages in the securing
of Listed Building Consents, has allowed Paul Vonberg Architects to
gain a deep understanding of both the buildings' and the clients’
needs, with considerable benefit to both. |
