About Us

At Empire Group, we create more than homes—we craft legacies.


Founded by Philip Conway-Burt, we bring 27+ years of expertise designing and building bespoke residences in London and Los Angeles. From restoring historic estates to crafting beachfront retreats, we unite creative vision with technical precision.


Serving Los Angeles’ most prestigious neighborhoods—Pacific Palisades, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Malibu and Manhattan Beach—we provide full design, construction, and client representation. Our meticulous project management safeguards your interests from concept to completion.


As longtime Pacific Palisades residents, we’re committed to building safer, more resilient homes with advanced fire-resistant materials and systems—built to endure.
