Northacre

The Northacre Way

When Swedish architect Klas Nilsson founded Northacre over 30 years ago, it was with a single-minded vision to preserve and celebrate some of London’s most treasured architectural masterpieces.

Nilsson understood the allure of great architecture and the enduring impact it has on the world around it. With knowledge and sensitivity, he turned beautiful properties into some of London’s most desirable homes and created an uncompromising, design-led development company that has consistently set new standards for luxury living experiences.

Today, under the leadership of Niccolò Barattieri di San Pietro, Northacre continues to create beautiful, highly innovative residences in central London’s grandest period properties, preserving these stunning buildings for generations to come. Whether replete in history like No. 1 Palace Street, or conceived from scratch as our modernist construction The Broadway will boldly demonstrate, these living spaces of the future are crafted with the latest cutting-edge materials, attention to detail and creative flair that has been the Northacre way since the very beginning.

Guided by a love of design and an unrelenting commitment to contemporary craftsmanship, each luxurious Northacre home is designed to enrich the lives of the most discerning homeowners. Our beautiful residences also serve as a stepping stone to new experiences, providing luxury seekers from all four corners of the globe with a rare insight into British culture.
