The UK’s rich and varied history has led to a broad range of architectural styles that have influenced everything from grand country estates and rural boltholes to elegant townhouses and beautiful family homes.
A good architect can turn homeowners' dreams into reality, applying impartial and creative thinking to projects large and small.
While it may not always follow that a noteworthy name adds a premium to the property’s asking price, having an architect with an established reputation certainly offers more than just an interesting anecdote.
It undoubtedly raises the profile and curiosity factor among buyers and can lead to increased interest – particularly from those who enjoy a sense of legacy and are looking for somewhere with a story to tell.
By their very nature such properties are also usually bursting with character and have been extremely well designed.
From the architects behind the BBC’s Broadcasting House and the Natural History Museum through to the Hungarian modernist who inspired notorious Bond villain Auric Goldfinger – featured below is a selection of homes currently on the market with notable names attached.
