After completing several small residential development projects, Chapeau drilled down into the strategy of utilising permitted development rights to transform unused commercial properties into needed residential flats. With space being at a premium, and the need for young people to start on their property journeys, Chapeau was formed to created inspiring spaces with a characterful, quality and minimalist scandi feel about them. Inspired spaces to create inspired homes. Unintentionally, Chapeau has attracted a number of investors and trades people who happen to be power house women who love property and love a laugh.

What We Do
Property Development & Regeneration
We identify and convert vacant commercial buildings into quality residential flats, using permitted development rights wherever possible. Our focus is on small-to-medium scale urban regeneration—turning overlooked plots and disused buildings into high-demand living spaces.
Investor Collaboration
We work with a growing network of investors who share our passion for value creation, smart design, and sustainable growth. Our disciplined, transparent approach ensures clear timelines, open communication, and aligned outcomes.
Design-Led Conversions
Every Chpeau home is designed with a minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic—prioritising light, function, and a sense of calm. These are homes that young people want to start their journeys in: efficient, beautiful, and full of character.
Project Management & Delivery
From feasibility studies and planning permissions to fit-out and handover, we manage each project with care. With a trusted team of architects, planning consultants, and contractors, we ensure developments are delivered on time, on budget, and with precision.
Partnerships & Sourcing
We're actively seeking new investment partners, sourcing opportunities, and working with estate agents and landowners who believe in creating something lasting from what’s been left behind. If you have a plot or property with untapped potential, we’d love to hear from you.
