Profile
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 people’s well being.
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.
Our Process
A look at our case studies will show the breadth of our experience. We work on large-scale corporate developments and small independent schemes, on new interior concepts and refurbishments of existing buildings, supporting retail brands and implementing multiple fit outs. Whatever the project, whatever the budget, our approach and attitude are always the same: professional, constructive, intelligent and responsive.
Each project presents a new set of challenges, we continually reassess our approach, guided by our team’s wealth of experience, reference documentation and guidelines we have established. We research and keep informed of changing regulations including The Building Regulations, The Building Safety Act, Construction Design and Management regulations, Health Technical Memorandum, Health Building Notes and the National Building Specification.
