AtelierWest Ltd

What AtelierWest Ltd does

AtelierWest Ltd is a London-based, RIBA Chartered and ARB-registered architectural and design practice founded in 2011 by Ed Shinton and Jonathan Chattaway, both previously of Roland Cowan Architects. The firm operates from two South West London offices (Chester House on Fulham High Street and New Kings Road) with a team of approximately 6, supplemented by contractors, consultants, and suppliers on a project basis. Its core service offering is full architectural services structured around the RIBA Plan of Work Stages A–L, complemented by interior design (including furniture, kitchens, bathrooms, and bespoke joinery) and project management, with selective hospitality, retail, gallery, office, and education work alongside a dominant residential book.

The firm's primary client segment is the prime and super-prime residential sector in central London — including private clients, international trusts, and overseas investors — with notable recent projects in Ladbroke Grove, Cadogan Square, Hampstead, Onslow Gardens, and conservation-area work in Aldeburgh, Suffolk and Cranford. The customer base also includes high-end Italian restaurants and boutique hospitality operators (Four to Eight, Bottles at Old Spitalfields, Venosi on Sloane Avenue, Chelsea Cloisters) plus showroom and gallery fit-outs (Carl Hansen, Execution Prints at Sea Containers House). Differentiation rests on planning-permission expertise for difficult sites, listed-building and conservation-grade delivery, and deep local knowledge of South West London boroughs.

The revenue model is project-based professional services with individually quoted fees per engagement, supplemented by property development consulting through wholly-owned subsidiary Edward James Development Management (EJDM), which provides property sourcing, acquisition, appraisal, and turn-key development management to private clients and overseas investors. There are no public pricing schedules; pricing is bespoke by project scope and complexity. The firm relies on direct relationships, referrals, and Instagram-driven visibility rather than paid marketing, and has raised no external funding, operating as a privately held partnership between the two co-founders. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, API products, or app-based distribution; delivery relies on standard architectural design software.
