Our clients are remarkably diverse: large and small, private and public. We help them grow, sustain and transform: whatever it takes to embrace their future and maximise their sales and commercial opportunities.
Although we present our work in different categories or sectors we believe in an holistic approach to architecture and design. Each project is tailored to suit its particular functional requirements, but all aim to inspire, nurture, comfort, reassure and empower the people that use and inhabit those spaces.
Listening and Understanding
We believe that the best design results are born from our designers and architects truly listening to and understanding our clientâs aspirations and requirements.Â
Our studio creates tailored solutions for each of our clientâs needs and requirements and helps to make successful, practical and aesthetically appealing environments. We work closely with each client providing the necessary attention required to bring a project to life, delivering solutions that work for them. We have no ego; the main mission for us is to be responsive and put our clientâs interests and goals first.
Listening helps cultivate teamwork, create stronger relationships, better design solutions and ultimately happier clients.
We apply creative thinking to everything we do, new design concepts, technical solutions to construction problems, even value engineering to achieve a project target budget.Â
At the heart of successful design is the ability to truly collaborate, enough ego to express ideas with confidence but humble enough to listen and accept other perspectives and viewpoints. Collaboration starts with a conversation with our clients to establish a project brief – objectives and aspirations and develops through to completion.
Often as Lead Consultant, we work closely with other consultants such as Structural and Building Services Engineers, Lighting Consultants, Graphics Designers, Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers and can assemble teams of specialist consultants as appropriate for each project.
We are proud that Lustedgreenâs success and reputation has grown out of building strong lasting relationships with our clients.
Established in 2009 by Nigel Green and Graeme Lusted, the practice is run by the founders together with a creative and dynamic management team of talented architects and interior designers.
Our passion lies in truly understanding both the needs and opportunities that each project presents and working as a team with our clients, consultants, suppliers and contractors to deliver projects that everyone is proud of, and for everyone involved to enjoy the process of getting there.
Our ideal project involves the re-imagining, re-modelling and refurbishment of existing buildings and spaces. Supporting our aim as an organisation and for the projects we work on, to positively impact on our environment, representing a shift from an extractive, degenerative, linear mindset towards a regenerative, circular, low carbon one.
We strive to make the environments we design, user friendly, inclusive, accessible, safe and healthy and to have a positive impact on peopleâs well being.
It may sound simplistic and maybe a little idealistic, but our singular motive can be distilled down to âwanting to make this world a better place for all beings to live inâ.
Our Team
Nigel Green and Graeme Lusted first met whilst working with Sir Terence Conran, where they worked on Airports, restaurants, hotels and shops. They both went on to form a number of different design and architectural practices with clients ranging from fashion designers, actors and musicians to museums, art auction houses and healthcare providers.
We have a diverse and talented team of architects and interior designers which is headed up by our Associates, Samantha Banks and Rebecca Morgan and Senior Designers, Laura Tod and Lizzie Newman-Brooke. Two architects and two interior designers, who have clocked up over 35 combined years at Lustedgreen.
Lustedgreen strive to be a company that attracts, develops and retains the most talented people, with a culture that makes everyone feel included and with equal opportunities; we reward individuals based on their abilities, achievements and hard work.
