Architecture Awards 2023 BUILD 87 Apr23691 ituated in London, AURA Architecture & Interiors (AURA) is a young, dynamic design firm that concentrates its plethora of expertise towards the development of residential projects for private clients and SME property developers. Owner Ben Richards tells us, “For property developers we have proven numerous times that we can push the boundaries of their developments by maximising the site value, keeping build costs low, and ultimately optimising their bottom line profit.” AURA seeks to create new homes, or refurbish existing ones, to cultivate an end result that perfectly utilises the space and unique assets of each individual build. AURA thrives in presenting clients with light-filled spaces that’re both spacious and practical. Not only this, but AURA has a fantastic understanding of energy efficiency and sustainability to “provide our clients with the confidence that our designs will stand the test of time and lower their costs over the lifetime of their property,” says Ben. AURA is dedicated towards sustainable practise, and seeks to enforce this ethos wherever it possibly can. Especially when the cost of living is growing ever higher, clients need to be assured that they’ll be getting the most out of their property’s energy supply for the least amount of money. AURA is determined to provide clients with a cost-effective build that’ll save them money in the long run. AURA’s technologically savvy team utilises project management tools to stay on target, ensuring each project is completed on time and to budget. A great example of this is its recent projects: “a small London ‘bolt hole’ for a couple who are moving out of London but want to retain a place for visits; a full refurbishment of a west London town house for a young developer including basement and ground floor extensions and a loft conversion; a complete refurbishment of a large 4,000 square foot family home to adapt for the owners now that the children have left home; a beautiful 6.000sqft Grade 2 listed property outside north London being brought back to life, including a new pool. “Alongside these we have a number of larger multiunit developments that introduce their own challenges and demands. For these we are growing our team with experienced people who have a background in multi-unit developer led projects,” Ben shares. AURA is an architectural firm that’s insistent on making a difference, whilst helping to educate homeowners and companions in the field alike on what it means to operate in such a crucial industry. It utilises its YouTube channel, AURA Architecture, to spread the word of cost management, and is consistently providing videos detailing how it develops its builds and renovations to a wider audience. AURA is eager to give everyone an insight into its passion and has yet to let anything stop it from encouraging quality builds throughout London. AURA’s future looks exciting as Ben enthuses, “We have several projects on site currently including two large Grade 2 Listed properties in Hertfordshire undergoing a complete makeover with various extensions. We can’t wait to share these, so keep an eye out on our website and social media channels for the new Pool Houses!” Follow AURA Architecture & Interiors’ journey online for more updates, you won’t be disappointed.
