The Retrospective

2022 was the year that…

…AGC committed to becoming a Force For Good and pledged allegiance to the B Corp movement. We promised to donate a chunk of our annual profits to charity including The British Red Cross and we actively encouraged our teams to participate in charitable causes. In addition, we published our Sustainability Manifesto and joined forces with United in Design on a mission to make our industry more inclusive.

Here at AGC, we also celebrated our 10 year anniversary, all teams from our 6 brands came together to celebrate our success story at The Birch Community before successfully launching our new podcast, ‘The Interior Insider’. 

In 2023, look out for…

…our teams continuing their mission to do better for people and the planet. In January 2023 we officially became ‘Britain’s first B Corp certified interior design collective’, joining the likes of Patagonia, The Modern House, House of Hackney and The Portman Estate

We also recently launched episode 2 of ‘The Interior Insider.’ In this episode, AGC’s co-founder Stella Gittins, gave an insight into sustainability in the design world. Stella discussed the E, S and G in ESG, how COVID 19 has affected the environment, how AGC has become a B Corp™ and strives to be a force for good in the industry.

2022 was the year that…

…Accouter went global with an expansion to Dubai and New York with 2 new offices and permanent teams on the ground. With the benefit of being based in the UAE, they launched The Atlantis Royal Residences Show Home for Kerzner International and are actively working on 2 further projects there!

Lastly, the team jetted off to Art Basel, Miami Beach, discovering the artworld’s global key players in modern and contemporary art, as well as the new generation of emerging artists. They also attended Maison & Objet in September. 

In 2023 look out for…

…more prestigious interior architectural projects including a Super-Prime villa on The Palm, Jumeirah, as well as more projects at Atlantis, The Royal Residences in Dubai.

In addition we look forward to the launch of a private client development on The Crown Estate in Surrey, a Manor House renovation as well as a number of private client projects within London’s branded residences completing in 2023.

Plus, something very special in New York….

2022 was the year that…

…A.LONDON was very busy! A hero project of the year was The Bryanston. They had the pleasure of designing one of the beautiful apartments as part of their luxury show home interior design service and to showcase this spectacular project, they hosted a brunch to celebrate. Check it out here!

Another show stopping project was The Hanover Penthouse. The talented designers had the pleasure of working on this gallery inspired space, featured in the brand-new luxurious residential development, West End Gate by Berkeley. We loved this project! Take a look at the full portfolio here.

In 2023 look out for…

...lots more to come! Having just completed projects at One St Johns Wood for Regal, A.LONDON are now working on lots of projects for new and existing clients for both exclusive residential developments and private residences.

With an increased interest from prime and super prime developers looking for luxurious and sustainable furniture solutions, Rachel Clark joins the A.LONDON team to assist these clients and help take services over the London border into the Home Counties. They look forward to giving more clients the option to rent our luxury design schemes with a lucrative rental offering, providing both flexibility and a reduced impact on the environment, helping lead towards a more circular economy.

2022 was the year that…

…Design and Rental demand reached new highs! Stand out schemes included Perrymead Street, the property sold for 20% over the asking price within just one week of our team working their magic! Other notable projects include One Bishops Gate Plaza, and a knock out scheme at The Bryanston with Almacantar.

The range of Curated furniture packages continue to be popular particularly for those looking for ‘thoughtful luxury’. These were installed at some of the very best developments including One Park Drive with Canary Wharf Group, Greenwich Peninsula with Knight Dragon, One Bishops gate plaza with Stanhope and Battersea Power Station with Battersea Power Station Development Company, to name a few.

In 2023 look out for…

…new faces in response to increased demand!

Also, putting a magic touch to the rental market, the first fully sustainable furniture package is on its way plus a revamped Luxury furniture rental product which has received an excellent early response on trials.

You can also expect more stand-out design projects and show apartments plus a number of really special boutique multiple unit schemes. BoxNine7 will continue to appear in high profile developments such as at Battersea Power Station, Bishops Gate Plaza, Lille Square. We can’t wait!

2022 was the year that…

…AGC BTR were honoured to have been nominated at the Evening Standard Awards for their project 8 Water St.

The team continued to impress with the completion of 80 apartments at the Greenwich Peninsula! Appointed by Knight Dragon, AGC BTR were brought in to furnish premium rental apartments across 3 buildings. Inspired by the riverside views, a concept of light and dark colour palettes complemented by the open-plan living was curated for the stylish apartments. Check out the portfolio here.

In 2023 look out for…

…a building pipeline of completion dates for premium BTR schemes. The AGC BTR team are very busy behind the scenes working with some of the industry’s major players in developing some outstanding new BTR interiors for launch in 2023 and beyond.
