Following the sustained success of their Charlton flagship, Hugo Oliver has expanded its business with the opening of a specialised high-end design studio in the heart of Blackheath on 26th January.

This milestone represents a response to the sustained growth of Hugo Oliver’s Charlton operations and the increasing demand for high-specification residential design across South East London. Rather than functioning as a traditional retail outlet, the Blackheath studio has been crafted as a dedicated design resource for architects, developers, and premium clients navigating the complexities of multi-room residential renovations.

A dedicated specification hub

The studio prides itself on its curation which is intentionally more focused than a conventional showroom, showcasing an elite collection of products that have been specifically selected for their suitability in demanding environments.

Whether specifying for Grade II listed properties with their conservation challenges or outfitting high-value new builds where technical precision is needed, the studio serves as a carefully edited library of premium fixtures and finishes. Their refined product selection reflects an understanding that professionals need access to the finest materials that marry aesthetic excellence with reliability, durability and manufacturing integrity.

Central to the studio’s offering is its appointment-led operational model, which turns the traditional showroom experience into something far more enriching. These deep-dive consultations allow for complex plumbing configurations and spatial challenges to be resolved at the drawing board stage of a project rather than as an afterthought during installation.

Solving the “multi-room” challenge for developers

One of the most persistent challenges in residential construction and renovations is maintaining aesthetic cohesion across multiple bathrooms within a single property without sacrificing the distinct character each space deserves.

The design methodology centres on designing “families” of bathrooms where the master suite, en-suites, and cloakrooms share a carefully considered material palette or thematic thread, while still maintaining its own identity. This ensures that your bathrooms read as a considered whole throughout the home rather than a collection of disparate decisions, ultimately elevating the overall quality of the finished décor.

Acting as a collaborative partner rather than just a supplier, Hugo Oliver reduces the burden on contractors and clients who might otherwise struggle to manage the aesthetic harmony and technical specification of an entire property’s bathroom requirements.

Quality assurance and product portfolio

Expertise is invaluable during any renovation, especially when incorporating modern luxury amenities into distinctive architecture. The historic housing stock in Blackheath, predominantly Victorian and Georgian in style, presents its own unique constraints that require technical knowledge and sensitivity.

Hugo Oliver’s team have the expertise to navigate conservation requirements, ceiling heights, original floors, and period-appropriate detailing while still delivering the contemporary comfort homeowners today expect. Their ability to blend heritage with modernity resonates strongly with local clients who regularly work within these architectural parameters.
