Architectural Practice: There for you from creation to completion!

Hello, we are CATO creative. We are an architecture, interior design and planning agency based in central London. Our sole purpose is to create homes our clients love. We believe a home should be filled with light, space, colour and joy. We also believe that designing your home should be fun, engaging, and a little challenging too if you are prepared to push yourself further than what you know and what is ordinary. That’s where we come in. Working collaboratively with our clients, we create homes that are beautiful, practical and as individual as the people who live in them. These are homes for living, rather than homes that fit convention. We are all different, so why should our homes all look the same? At CATO creative, home is a place where we flourish, where stories are made, where we just want to be. Whether it’s vibrant and bold or calm and elegant, our home needs to work for us. It needs to represent who we are as individuals and as a family. It needs to function practically. It has to be our own. If you believe this, CATO creative are here to help you.

Cato planned our extension and undertook a refurbishment for our somewhat tricky house. They always had our back and were incredibly creative. Alejandro was a joy to work with.

Even after some time has passed, it remains difficult to fully express how disappointing our experience working with CATO has been.

London Custom Joinery Ltd

We have had the pleasure of working on numerous projects with Cato creative over the last few years. Their professionalism and eye for detail is second to none. I would highly recommend them.

Mkw Surfaces LTD

We have been supplying many designers with stonework for many years and I must say, Cato Creative is by far one of the most professional company we have ever work with. Their work ethic is outstanding, all the designers are very knowledgeable as well as creating the most amazing spaces I have ever seen. All the designers are ‘hip’ and trendy, and their ideas are phenomenal, which shows in some of the designs they have put together – absoutley amazing. I definitely recommend Cato for any project you may have, you will not be disappointed.

We couldn’t be happier with Cato! They helped us from start to finish extend and remodel our house completely. From planning permission, to design through the whole build they worked on every detail of our house and we’re incredible. We couldn’t have done it without them and we now have the most beautiful house that’s works total for us in every way. Thank you so much Cato!

We would highly recommend Cato Creative. They guided our project from planning stage to completion through every element so seamlessly and we are absolutely amazed by the result. There is no way we could have achieved such a beautiful house without them and everything they did made the whole process extremely stress free. We can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us!

We’ve enjoyed working with Cato Creative for a number of years now, having supplied tiles to many of the amazing projects they’ve been involved in. They conduct all work with the upmost professionalism, whether it’s an extension, conversion or full house renovation.. We look forward to working with them on many more projects in future!

We worked with CATO creative on the refurbishment of our flat in West London. The flat hadn’t been touched since the 1980s and needed a complete overhaul. Check out "Busy Lines" under their completed projects here on Houzz for photos. We’re based in New York so we completed the whole design process remotely. Despite the distance, We enjoyed the process, which was collaborative and fun. For the build, CATO creative coordinated everything. They introduced us to a great builder. They help us make sure the detail and finish was what we wanted. We are about embark on our second project with them...

CATO creative are a delight to work with. They designed and delivered the refurbishment of our flat in South West London, which needed a rethink as we wanted to change the layout and add new shower room. The design process was most enjoyable. They came up with lots of good ideas and listened to ours. They made sure that everything we needed was thought about and included as part of the design process. Living part time in London they managed the whole build for us. When there were delivery issues they sorted them out.

CATO Creative designed and delivered a full refurb project for us on our new home. We completely remodelled the layout of the house and how we would use the space. The design process was great fun and we really enjoyed working with the 3D models. We had lots of ideas which the team listened to and incorporated into the design. The team helped push our creativity and gave us confidence in our decisions. The transformation of the home is amazing. Thank you CATO.

We bought our home from a developer, who had cut every corner possible. With so much to do we contacted CATO creative who designed and delivered the project for us. We really enjoyed the design process and our weekly design sessions. We spent time on every detail. They listened to and challenged our ideas. Using skylights and internal glazing CATO creative totally changed how our home feels. The difference is amazing. Their attention to detail and focus on the finish was a big part of their approach throughout. There are so many things we love about our home. The secret doors are a triumph.

The CATO creative team helped us bring our first major project to life. We had run into a dead-end with the company we were working with at the design stage so asked CATO creative if they could help - they did. The team brought the planning drawings to life helping us improving the design before working with us to finalise the detailed design and the specification. They then helped us find the right builder for the work whilst getting us some great savings on all the fixtures, fittings and equipment. During the project they monitored progress and spend. The end result is amazing. We love it. We will definitely work with CATO creative on our next project.

We bought a consultation from CATO creative at ac charity auction. We were looking for some idea for the renovation of our first home. Right from the start they had lots of ideas. They also listened, making sure the design was very much what we wanted. With the design completed, CATO creative helped us specify and source all the fixtures, fittings and equipment. They worked with our builders to make sure the design was as intended. Once we had moved in the CATO creative team helped us choose and source the finishing touches we needed. We really enjoyed working with the CATO creative team and are absolutely thrilled with everything they did to help create our home. We would thoroughly recommend them.

We’ve now worked with CATO creative twice. We love their design ethos and attention to detail. Working with the team is easy and fun. It’s great to have somebody who understand’s what we want, is on our side and who is looking after our interest during the build. Thank you.

Ramin Dariani

The CATO creative team helped us transform our ground floor at home in Barnes. We really enjoyed the design process as we could see the space developing through our regular meetings. The CATO team then helped us find the right builder and took care of the tender before works started. During the build they coordinated everything. Inevitably there were challenges. The CATO team managed through them. We will definitely work with them again. We love our home!

Stone World

We have worked with Cato for many years now and have always commended them for their eye for detail and personal visits of the head designers to view specific slabs of stone with their clients. Mark's innovative and exceptional design skills have resulted in impressive uses of bookmatching stone as well as granite. Their design projects always are of the highest quality and work within the specific budgets set but without compromising on aesthetic.

Cato Creative is everything you would expect from a cutting edge design and refurbishment firm . Having worked on some of the most expressive projects in the Fulham and the surrounding areas, Cato Creative have remained down to earth and are a delight to serve in our showroom.

CATO creative fully designed and redeveloped our property. This included a loft conversion, ground floor rear extension, a complete electrical and central heating upgrade and refurbishment throughout. By the end of the project, everything in the house was brand new. Right from the start we were fully involved in the process. We built a great relationship with the CATO team who were extremely helpful and were great to work with. The entire design process was interactive and well thought out. The project management service was unique, catering to all our needs as a family. All the permissions were taken care of and there was little for us to worry about. CATO creative made sure that the designs worked for everybody. They were great at listening to and incorporating our ideas as well as challenging them if they thought there was a better solution. This resulted in us making it a truly personal renovation. CATO creative helped create a home for us. Not only does it look good, it works for us as a family. We love the end result and have recommended their services.

The Hampshire Door Company

CATO are a creative, innovative company delivering beautiful and inspiring projects. They are focused on detail, quality and design. We have worked on a few projects with them, ranging in size and style, however attention to detail is never compromised and they consistently deliver in all aspects of a project. They understand the mechanics of what we do and are constantly keen to learn the process behind our work for the benefit of themselves and their client. A very professional and organised company that are extremely easy to engage with and we'd strongly recommend and endorse their services.

CATO creative have designed and project management our house refurbishment. They've literally done everything for us and have designed a fantastic family home that considers everybody including the cats. Right from the start the level of creativity and imagination has they have shown has been fantastic. I never imagined that we've have fairground lights in the loo, a metal staircase to the loft and a gloss red staircase in the hallway - We have! Throughout the process they involved us fully in the fun bits and left us out of all the hard work. They took care of all the planning and permissions required to start the works. To find a builder the team completed a tender for us helping us appoint the right contractor. During the build they managed everybody making sure it all happened at the right time. Hopefully the photographs will be shared soon.
