The studio

Two principals.
One signed-off contract.

2V Projects Ltd is owned and run by Vladimir Castravet. Our design partner is Nicholas Elias Architects — Nicholas handles concept and drawings; Vladimir runs everything else. You sign one contract with 2VP, and you work with one team from brief to handover. Never two companies passing notes.

Vladimir Castravet

Founder & Principal · 2V Projects Ltd

Sixteen years building for London’s most demanding clients. 160+ completed projects across prime London including specialist fit-outs at the V&A Museum, Moncler Sloane Street, and the South Bank cinema complex. On every 2VP site weekly. Personally signs every contract. Personally on every escalation.

What this means for your build. Every detail question on site goes to a builder who has cut joinery himself and read the JCT contract clause-by-clause — not a junior PM who has to ask someone else and loop back next week with a higher number. Answers come back the same working day, in writing, with a price. The 48-hour designer SLA, the Variations System and the daily on-site report exist for one reason: your project never stalls because somebody couldn’t get an answer. You speak to the person whose name is on the contract, on the warranty, and on the site notebook — from your first call to the final snag.
