About
Founded by James Waterworth (Globally recognised award winning designer: House and Garden Top 100, Country Life Top 100) and Marlon Lloyd Malcolm, Astler brings multi-disciplinary expertise into one holistic practice creating exceptionally conceived, beautifully constructed properties which are rigorously managed at every stage of the journey.
A single point of contact model prioritises efficiency while a carefully selected team, Astler's experts in quantity surveying, project management, security, design and staffing, underpin a meticulously managed process.
The team has decades of experience with super prime real estate across the globe, from historical landmark buildings to country estates, thereby ensuring that each project reflects the owner’s vision and draws from the vernacular of the property, its function and sense of place.
At the outset, Astler coordinates with all team directors to establish a practical, streamlined schedule to ensure optimum time and risk management, and that every decision supports a cohesive design vision led by James Waterworth.

Astler typically engage with the client, advisors and buying agent during the property search.
Through scrupulous research and pre-planning, Astler identifies and helps secure the perfect site. This isn’t only about finding the right property but rather, uncovering the full potential of a dwelling or a piece of land before committing to purchase.
Assembling the right expertise for each project is a crucial step before translating a client’s ideas into draft plans enriched with CGI visuals, mock drawings and practicality studies.
Astler provides a tangible sense of what property can be realised, ensuring it aligns with any of the obstacles that might be presented through planning, national heritage and building regulations.
At every stage of the project is a dual focus on creativity and feasibility ensuring that every step is grounded in vision and value.
Design
Waterworth leads the creative process working with Astler’s advisory, architectural and construction teams to oversee the client brief, architectural intent and interior design delivery.
Astler acts as the unifying force that carries the creative vision through every stage of the process, ensuring it remains intact despite the many voices, architects, planners, heritage experts and regulatory bodies which can dilute a brief.
Our approach to design balances beauty with functionality adhering to the highest standards of craftsmanship, allowing for a design experience which creates properties which are a joy to inhabit and possess soul, depth and a compelling point of view.
Deliver
From sourcing the finest materials to managing every tradesperson, contractor or supplier, Astler delivers a result which exceeds expectations.
Astler’s commitment doesn’t end when the construction does. Through their property management services, they advise on technical support, sourcing and training staff - ensuring that every aspect of a property is a pleasure to experience.
