What Rigby & Rigby does

Rigby & Rigby is a London-headquartered, multi-disciplinary luxury design and delivery studio founded in 2006, specialising in ultra-prime residential property for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), family offices, and luxury property developers. The firm operates six integrated divisions — development management, architecture, interior design, construction, aftercare (Private Client Services / Total Care), and creative services — providing a single point of accountability across the full project lifecycle from concept to long-term property management. Active in prime London (Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Chelsea, Belgravia) and internationally (notably New York's NoHo / 43 Bleecker Street development), it has developed, refurbished, or designed more than 35 properties since inception and operates a Special Projects Division for complex heritage restoration and signature new builds. The studio also extends its design language into adjacent luxury asset categories such as private aviation (Project Knight with Gulfstream Aerospace for the G700).

The studio's technology stack centres on Building Information Modelling (BIM), a dedicated in-house 3D Visualisation department established in 2022 (using 3ds Max, Corona, V-Ray, Photoshop, Marvelous Designer, and After Effects), and R&D divisions called the AI Lab and MAKE Lab that explore AI applications in architecture and advanced digital/physical fabrication. Operational certifications and memberships include RIBA, ARB, BIID, SBID, Considerate Constructors Scheme, Carbon Neutral status, Positive Luxury, and the first-in-the-world AirRated Platinum Award for a residential building. Industry recognition spans the SBID Global Award for Ultra-Luxury Residential Property 2024, the Country & Town House 50 Finest Interior Designers 2025 list, and the Great British Brands 2022 honour, alongside ongoing editorial coverage in Spear's Magazine, Country & Town House, and Prime Resi.

The business is a trading name of Allect Limited, a UK-registered private company (Company No. 5884731), and a founding member of the Allect luxury design group alongside Helen Green Design and Lawson Robb. The revenue model is professional-services based, with bespoke project pricing for design, development management, and construction work, supplemented by a managed-service aftercare offering (Total Care) that ranges from simple maintenance to comprehensive third-party contract management. Go-to-market is exclusively direct and relationship-driven — no public pricing, no e-commerce — supported by participation in industry events such as WOW!House and D&AD Festival, and a multi-channel content presence via the 'Our World' blog, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook.
