Coburn works with clients on residential builds and refurbishments, from the earliest stages through to completion. The focus is simple: to ensure that a finished house genuinely works for the people living in it, long after the project team has left.
Good design is not decoration. It is about how a home works in everyday use, not how it looks in isolation. These decisions collectively determine the quality of the result, and they matter most when they are examined early, while changes are still straightforward and the project still has room to breathe.
For clients who want an independent view at a specific stage, without full project involvement, the Design Advisory is where most conversations start.
David Grievson, Founder
"For me, great design starts with function. When a space works properly, it feels right to live in and that is what makes it beautiful."
I began my career in 2002 at a high end London residential developer, working across projects of significant scale. I hold an MSc in Property Development and Planning. Since starting my first business in 2007, I have worked across all aspects of residential projects on both developments and client commissions.
Day to day involvement across every element of a project changes what you notice. People come to me because they want someone who has seen how these projects actually unfold, and who can be trusted to guide them through from start to finish.
