The advisory suite

The building, its materials and the two rooms where a planning conversation takes place. These pictures show the setting only; none shows a client, a client document or a portfolio.

I Place

A single frame, because arriving is one step and not a tour.

  • Polished brass lift doors set into a marble lobby wall, lit from above.
    01 The marble lobby and brass lift doors on the way up to the advisory suite: the one busy space between the street and a quiet meeting room.

II Materials

The building’s own materials, at the distance a visitor notices them.

  • A slab of dark green marble with pale veining running across it.
    02 Dark green marble in the entrance hall, seen close up. The stone is decades older than the practice, and the suite upstairs was fitted around it rather than over it.
  • Deeply carved oak panelling showing heraldic animals in relief.
    03 Heraldic carving on the oak panelling of the older wing, kept as it was found. It lines the corridor between the lifts and the planning rooms.
  • The corner of a dark navy leather book cover with a thin gold line tooled around its edge.
    04 Navy leather with a single gold line tooled round the edge of an old binding. The same restraint shapes the written plan each household receives.

III Conversation

The door and the room where a first planning conversation takes place.

  • A gilded interior door with leaded coloured glass panels, photographed against dark panelling.
    05 Leaded coloured glass in the gilded door to the meeting room. It stays shut while a household talks through its finances, so the conversation is heard only by the people in it.
  • A bare room with dark painted walls, a wooden floor, two tall windows and one long bench.
    06 The room used for discovery conversations: dark walls, two tall windows and one long bench. No statements are asked for at this stage, so there is nothing to lay out.

IV Detail

Paper, still kept alongside the encrypted client portal.

  • Shelves of matched leather-bound volumes with gold tooling on their spines.
    07 Matched leather-bound volumes on the reference shelf. Tax rules change every year, and a printed edition shows at a glance which year it describes.
  • The spine of a cream and red bound letter book, stacked between other volumes.
    08 A cream and red letter book among older volumes, the kind of record an estate file once lived in. Trust and beneficiary papers now sit in a secure encrypted portal.

Begin with a discovery conversation

It carries no charge, and it ends either with a written proposal and fee worth agreeing or a clear statement that none of the six mandates fits.
