Our Story
Built on Craft. Defined by Discretion.
The Cheshire Collective was founded on a single conviction: that the finest homes and the most extraordinary escapes share the same DNA — uncompromising attention to detail.
Our Story
Where It Began
Founded in the heart of Cheshire in 2003, The Patera Group began with a husband-and-wife team — one an interior designer, the other a builder — united by a shared passion for creating exceptional homes. Over the past two decades, that partnership has grown into a close-knit team of specialists, bringing together skilled carpenters, builders, designers and craftspeople, each with expertise in their own field. Many have worked alongside us for years, creating a depth of knowledge, trust and attention to detail that carries through every project.
Our clients return to us not because we are the largest, but because they know the people behind their home and trust us to deliver it with the same care as if it were our own.
Our Principles
What We Stand For
Uncompromising Craft
Every home we build and every escape we curate is held to the same exacting standard. We work only with the finest craftspeople, architects, and property owners.
Absolute Discretion
Our clients trust us with their most personal ambitions. That trust is the foundation of everything we do — we never compromise it.
Singular Vision
We do not offer templates. Every project begins with listening — understanding not just what you want, but why you want it.
Built to Last
The homes we build are designed to endure for generations. The memories we create are designed to last a lifetime.
The Collective
We are a small, senior team — architects, designers, travel specialists, and project directors who have spent careers at the pinnacle of their fields. When you work with us, you work with the people who will actually deliver your project.
