Why Choose Us for Your Hackney Project?
-
Proven Local Expertise for Hackney Homes, Studios and Commercial Units
At Unagru, we don’t just design spaces in Hackney – we live and work here too. In 2024 we formed a small cooperative to buy a studio space and sought to fit it out as economically and sustainably as possible. From creating our very own Hackney studio, to working on two of our current projects, a Hackney canalside townhouse, and a Georgian house just a stone's throw from our office, we understand Hackney’s unique architecture, creative spirit, and planning landscape.
-
Award-Winning Architecture.
We proudly won both a Build It Award and Designer Award for our radical transformation of a local Victorian terraced house, which we fondly named House For A Cellist. Whether it's a Victorian terrace or a Georgian townhouse, we know how to maximise your space while blending contemporary living with the area's architectural charm.
-
Deep Understanding of Hackney's Regulations.
With extensive experience navigating Hackney's strict planning permissions, our expertise ensures your project is fully compliant, while achieving beautiful results. We ensure your project stays clear and on track, avoiding unnecessary delays or setbacks
-
Tailored Solutions for Urban Living.
From loft conversions to garden extensions, we specialise in creative solutions for homes that work for modern lifestyles while enhancing your property value, such as basement conversions and multi-functional designs which make the most of every inch of space. We also offer full interior design and project management services if required, to keep the process as smooth and as organised as possible.
-
Sustainability is in our DNA.
We're a young, dynamic team, with a passion for connecting architecture, nature and community. We believe in creating beautiful,
innovative and sustainable spaces that are deeply rooted in the lives of the people they're built for. Our Hackney studio is a working showcase of energy efficiency, recycled and sustainable materials, and thoughtful design. We bring the same approach to your project, offering solutions to help you lower energy bills and reduce environmental impact by integrating eco-friendly features like solar panels, green roofs, and high-performance insulation into every design.
What Our Hackney Clients Say
"Davide and his amazing team took all the stress out of our big renovation: from the planning stage, early discussions and drawings to the finishing touches and snagging, the Unagru team were a model of hands-on professionalism. We gave them aesthetic references and they ran with it, and we couldn’t be happier to see the early renders transformed into just what we’d hoped. On a practical side, Davide was spot on with his costings and timings, his builders were exemplary, and all interactions with the council, building control and surveyors were handled smoothly and painlessly. Highly recommended."
