“Daniel and I worked for the same client; I designed the garden on an extension and house house refurb that Daniel had designed. His work was very imaginative and he had a very different take on a typical Victorian house conversion. We had to work alongside each other during the build in order that the interior and exterior were cohesive and complemented each other. I found him to be very approachable and easy to work with. He was always flexible when necessary and would listen to other people's ideas on certain elements whilst still maintaining his design aesthetic.”

“Martins Camisuli designed and project managed a new kitchen project in my home. I wanted something individual and crafted. It involved complete remodelling of the space, removal of walls and the design and manufacture of bespoke kitchen units. They were responsive to my ideas, creative and enthusiastic. I found it very easy to communicate with them and the works were completed on time and on budget. I think the choice of materials and overall design are warm simple and enduring. I would be very happy to have the opportunity use them again.”

“We hired Inter Urban Studios to help us convert our loft into living space. The team was very professional, and added a healthy dise of out of the box thinking to an otherwise cookie cutter type project. Micah was always available to discuss things and provide advice and how to solve for particular results. We have recommended the services to our friends and would use them again if the opportunity arose.”

“Chris was so helpful with his advice and guidance and very patient with our ever changing ideas. He made quite a daunting process of applying for planning permission, stress free and we are looking forward to working with him further as our project gets consent and we can start.”

“Paul of Ambo Architects was recommended to me by my builder who praised his detailed construction drawings and problem solving skills. He said architects often provided only outline plans with very little thought on how the design should be practically achieved and that Paul was very different. The builder was right. Paul proved to be a delight to deal with, a very good listener with an open collaborative approach to the early stages of design. He has a great understanding of regulations both planning and building and produced a final design to a very high standard that sailed through all regulatory processes. The drawings provided for construction were extensively detailed with nothing left to chance, when any issues did arise Paul was on hand to help resolve the problems. The project was for a ground floor side return extension with a small first floor extension above. The realised design absolutely maximises both the available space and light in what is a small, and previously dark mid-Victorian house. The contemporary design, with modernist influence, is achieved in traditional materials and sits well with the rest of the victorian architecture. I would recommend Ambo to anyone.”

“We were very pleased when Karenna Wilford Architects were recommended to us for our cottage extension and refurbishment. Karenna has been like a breath of fresh air to us. She is reliable, professional and very pleasant to work with. She worked closely with us to give us not only just what we wanted but also made valuable suggestions which proved to be a large benefit to the final scheme. KWA project managed all the building works as we had very specific requirements and wanted to use specialised contractors. They were very efficient and KWA kept us well informed of the impact some of the design decisions would have on our budget! We love our new home and can thoroughly recommend Karenna and her team.”

“I've worked with Edward Parsley Assocoaites Ltd for many years and have always found them totally professional, great at listening and responding to client briefs with creative and practical advice on a range of building challenges. The value of having multiple professional disciplines (architecture, design and structural engineering) in house can be a real advantage for more complex projects.”

“He will manipulate a space in such a unique way in order to provide clever functional living spaces. Many can produce beautiful architecture but David achieves this and so much more. If you are ever asked the question "do I need an Architect ?" what David will provide for you, is the reason why you need an Architect. He is also the most pleasant man we work with too?”

“We worked with John at Stanza Design to build our ensuite bathroom, which involved some structural work too. Would thoroughly recommend, its my favourite room! The balance between choice in design and being guided by someone who knows what they are doing was perfect, the builders appointment were excellent too. Would definitely use again.”

“Charles Barclays and his team are simply outstanding and we would recommend them any day. We bought a house that required a complete renovation. CBA made a "bold plan" proposal which we loved at first sight. They tailored it successfully to our needs (children zones, continental taste, etc.). They led the full project from beginning to end, starting from securing planning, tenders and managing a contractor and all third party professionals. At the same time we felt very involved and understood. We feel that the end result reflects exactly what we had dreamt, only in better. With CBA there are no problems, only solutions. Charles Barclays and his team (and particularly Alessandro Pena with whom we worked) are as top notch and professional as it gets. His team is passionate and extremely talented. The team is very resourceful and knowledgeable and could always advise us to keep the project going. For every question they always proposed concrete solutions at reasonable prices without ever compromising on quality. Charles has an impressive mastery of space, light and structures, and offers options that certainly gives a "wow" effect hoped for with an architect. For example, in our project CBA proposed to create double height ceilings surrounded by impressive windows and a rooftop light. That way, CBA managed to transform a dark garage into a majestic and very bright living space. Another example was to switch the parking space with the garden, and so creating a continuous flow between the house, the garden and the patio. The team is very dedicated and passionate and helped us through the whole process (email progress updates with key decision points, detailed timetables etc), from sourcing the floors to choosing the bathroom knobs. They have a strong list of quality/upscale suppliers. The close collaboration between CBA and the builders led to a finalised project that was on time, on budget and with absolutely no headache at all.”
