Octagon Bespoke Director, John Pope explains; “It’s very difficult to summarise the Bespoke division, as the day to day really is so varied! We could be designing a beautiful eight bedroom family home in Weybridge, renovating a Victorian townhouse in Mayfair, or extending a penthouse apartment on the banks of the Thames. Every client and every home is different, hence why we call it Bespoke.
“We’ve had clients come to us after they’ve been refused planning permission multiple times, and, with their consent, our team has made some vital changes and we’ve been given the green light from local Councils. Our reputation within London and the Home Counties is new build, because that’s what the majority of our speculative homes have been in the past. But we’ve recently completed a historical renovation on a Grade II* listed building in the heart of Wimbledon alongside English Heritage – we can do it all.”
While no ‘typical’ client, the Bespoke team do get a lot of repeat customers – those who have previously bought a speculative home, and a few years later would like to create their own Bespoke project, or are perhaps considering a complete remodel or extension of their Octagon home. “We’ve had some clients arrive at meetings
with scrapbooks and fabric samples and images of their artwork”, John explains, “which is actually brilliant for the team, as it helps to give a real insight into what it is they’re looking for from their home, as well as their style and taste.
“Others are more hands off – they’ve seen an Octagon property they like (we often take potential clients around our recently completed homes, to give them an idea of our finishes and standards), and bar some minor changes they would like us to build it on their plot of land.”
One of the biggest joys – and challenges – is that no two homes are the same, nor are any two clients.
“Working to the client’s brief is the most important thing, and can be especially difficult if they don’t know what it is they want – there can be a lot of reading between the lines, but with such an experienced team, we’re always full of suggestions and ideas that we think will work.”
At Octagon, we have over 40 years
experience and an unrivalled reputation for building spectacular, one-of-a kind homes to the highest standard of luxury.
