HOME IMPROVEMENTS
for high networth individuals
Claire Pilton meets the designer-developer double act behind Howes & Rigby
at their tip-top project in Knightsbridge
\-;q
ith 100 million of joint
projects under their belts
and the same amount in the
pipeline, it makes perfect sense
for award-winning interior-<iesign practice Taylor
Howes to formally join forces with London
property devcloper Rigby & Rigby.lbis month
sees the latmeh of their new 'end-to-end property
service', which, according to Karen Howes and
Sr.eve Rigby, is 'uniquely qualified to cater to the
burgeoning HNWI market in London.'
Actions, however, speak louder than worck.
The acquisition, reconfiguration, extension,
design n d ~ of St SavioUIS House in
\Wt.on Place, SW3, confirms Howes & Rigby's
ability to deliver the best.
'Unusually for working partnerships, OUIS start-
ed with a beauty parade,' says Karen, who over the
p:& 21 years has proved the indispemable darling
of many a London devcloper. 'Taylor Howes has
designed = 350 show homes at schemes such
as The Knigbtsbridge, Phillimore Square, Lancelot
Place and most of St George's penthouses up and
down the river, including their recently released
Chelsea CreekTower. We understand what a de-
veloper needs to do to sell his property, whether
it's a multi-unit scheme or an individual one-off.'
Not surprisingiy,Taylor Howes was one of
three designers that Steve Rigby invited to
pitch fur St Saviours. 'We acquired the property
at the end of2009 on behalf of a client who
wanted something highly unusual. This 8,600sq
ft property originally formed part of a 19th-
century church. It had been converted somewhat
haphazardly in the early 1990s and was severely
compromised; but we knew it could be rede-
veloped to fulfil our client's own specification.'
The property has since grown by some 3,000sq
ft with the acquisition of a neighbouring mews
house that also provides three off-street parking
spaces; it now has three large bedroom suites on
the ground, first and second floors with a large
gymnasiwn below. Aaunting an impressive array
ofTechno-gym kit, this 'subterranean exten-
sion' adjoins a tranquil swimming pool complex
complete with interconnecting sauna, st.earn and
shower rooms, a separate treatment room and a
juice bar. 'The client was looking for a retreat-
cum-resort feel - at once opulent and practical
for a funily with five children.. The brief- and
budget- were uncompromising,' from the 350
per sq ft wooden flooring in the master suite to
the 300,<:XYJ circular glas.5 elevator that ascends
to a roof terrace on the second storey and a
teenager's fubulous bedroom suite with a loft-like
study above. There are three further suites in the
main house, including a serene master bedroom,
which incorporates an elegant writing desk for
her and a TV screen facing the ensuite bathroom
loo for himl There are no fewer than 32 screens
throughout the property, including a curving
'nine-in-one' set up in the media room and a
back-t<>-back arrangement that rises from a cen-
tJ:u:ee>.year project was nearing completion, the
client had a change of plan and decided to sell . . .
to the tune of 50 million. Karen and Steve hope
'the incoming pwt:haser will add their stamp
and enjoy living here, albeit for just a couple of
months a year. If you're in the multi-global home-
owning league, it's rather like having your own
boutique hotel in the heart ofKnightsbridge.'
'Having worked together on this property
and three others since 2010, we are confident
that the vision, look and reputation of our two
companies (which will also continue to operate
independently) dovetail exactly. We are both
coming to an exttaordinarily competitive marlcet
from e:mting points of excellence,' says St.eve,
who has developed 30 properties since launch-
ing Rigby & Rigby in 2006.Well-funded and
financially secure, his company forms part of the
Rigby Group, which is currently the 13th largest
pmate business in Britain (having been founded
with an initial cash investment of 2,<:XYJ in 1975
by Steves father, Sir Peter, who is reputedly now
worth 480 roillion).
Rigbys staff include planning specialists,
architeclS, quantity surveyors, project manag-

ing areas.A 'toast and tea kitchen' is supplemented
by a proper catering number oogether with 'back

As a full turnkey scheme, the property has been
dressed down to the bed linen, accessories and
decorative artwork. Th.e final phase would have
seen Karen helping the client curate a collection
of fine art; but in fact the latter has been loaned
from the King5 Road Gallery, because just as this
ers and, unusually, an in-house building team of
30-plus workers. 'At this level, none of Steven's
competitors run their own builds,' says Karen,
who delights in 'working with a partner that does
not subcontract; there are none of the headaches
as50Ciated with snagging or missed deadlines and
the quality is unrivalled.' Karen and Steve agree:
'it's unusual in this day and age to be able to
collaborate with a team that shares the same core
ethics.As Howes & Rigby we can offer clients a
full portfolio of seamless services - from search
and acquisition to planning, design and build
and decoration - that are all delivered in-house.
Our clients, who typically spend between 400
and JXJ per sq ft, appreciate the benefits of
dealing with a n ~ p shop.They don't need
to ask at what stage the architect finishes and the
interior designer starts, and there is no question of
duplicating fees. By providing a singie quota-
tion and working to a single conttact we aim to
make a potentially bewildering proces5 fun - and
financially transparent'
