About Us

Thoughtful Design. Expertly Delivered.

Montagu Design & Build is a family-led studio based in the heart of Leicester, specialising in high-end residential design, renovation and bespoke interiors.

With a background rooted in craftsmanship and cabinetry, the business has evolved over the years into a complete design-and-build practice delivering carefully considered homes throughout the UK.

Our work combines architectural thinking, interior detail and experienced project management to create homes that feel timeless, functional and deeply personal to the people who live in them.

We believe good design should feel effortless, refined and built to last. Inspired by the existing emphasis on craftsmanship, bespoke cabinetry and full project delivery on the current site.

From our 5,000 sq ft workshop in Burton on the Wolds, our team of designers, joiners and builders work together to bring each client’s vision to life – from the initial sketch to the final finish. Every project we take on is treated as if it were our own home.
