The house

A house mark, not an acronym.

The four letters do not stand for words. Like the monograms of private banks and old family houses, they stand for the house and what it promises.

01The name

A seal on everything we keep.

M, K, S and H interlock inside a hexagon that reads as a building. Six separate strokes draw it, and none of them closes the hexagon.

That openness runs through everything the house makes. It is a promise of custody: whatever we keep, we keep well, for the people it belongs to.

02What we hold to

Three commitments.

  1. 01

    Few, by choice

    Exclusivity is not a price point. It is a decision to take on only the relationships we can look after properly.

  2. 02

    Considered in every detail

    Quality shows in small things: a report that is easy to read, a question answered by someone who knows the answer.

  3. 03

    Measured in years

    We make decisions for the long term, and judge ourselves by what an asset is worth to its owner a decade from now.

The long view

What we keep, we keep for years.

03How we work

One relationship, many disciplines.

Each sector has its own specialists. All of them answer to the same principals, and every client has one relationship with the house, whatever it asks of us.

We would rather do fewer things well than many things adequately. When a request falls outside what we do best, we say so, and we introduce someone who does it better.

What every client can expect

  • A named principal, accountable for the relationship
  • A written plan of care, agreed before work begins
  • Reporting an owner can read, on a schedule that suits them
  • Discretion as a standard, not an option

04Dubai

Based in Dubai. Built for the long term.

The house is based in Dubai. We work with owners, families and institutions who think in decades, and we choose each relationship with care.
