Services
KVB Architects Limited, based at Tring in Hertfordshire, was established in 2003. Under the directorship of Gregory K Basmadjian, the practice has been responsible for a wide range of projects, including residential developments in the private and public sectors, leisure, school, commercial office developments and specialised industrial units and most railway-related buildings.
An existing old bungalow unit in a forest setting in Leighton Buzzard was demolished in 2010 to make way for a large contemporary family dwelling, comprising 3 large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, open living /kitchen/dining areas at ground floor, feature corner atrium and balconies, and with an integral triple garage.
The existing low category station at Brentford was upgraded in a joint initiative of the London Borough of Hounslow and GlaxoSmithKline, supported by South West Trains and Network Rail (then Railtrack). Redevelopment comprised extensive new facilities, including secure Ticket Office, booking hall/concourse and tenancies.
The Victorian properties form a semi-detached house (referred to as "artisanal cottage " style) typical of the Albert Street frontages, and are located in a Conservation Area. As such, any changes to the properties were strongly resisted by the Planners. Working closely with the Conservation Officer over 2 years, KVB Architects produced a design solution which met both Planners' and Clients' requirements.
