Our Testimonials

We engaged Andrew to work on the plans for our extension and we would have no hesitation in recommending him. Andrew is very easy to work with, he listens well and presents easy to understand options to help you move forwards.

He helped us on some design decisions, solved technical challenges that our desired roof design presented and after submitting the plans, went on to work very well with the builders when any minor problems occurred during the build. The result is an amazing space, even better than we dared to hope for, and Andrew certainly played his part as a crucial member of the team that achieved that.

Paul Berman

Andrew listened carefully to our requirements/objectives and designed, planned and co-ordinated the conversion of our rather confused 1940s house with antisocial individual rooms into a generous open flowing living space making it a much more flexible, sociable family home.

Andrew was a pleasure to work with, and I loved his attention to detail. He worked very calmly with the builders, bathroom and kitchen fitters and I would thoroughly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an architect. I now love my house after 23 years of living here and wanting to move!

Nicola Day

Andrew took a professional and constructive approach throughout the whole process. He took on board our ideas and came up with a design that could be done in two stages to meet our needs. From initial design ideas to structural engineers, to build issues through to completion, Andrew was on hand to support us and our builders.

He took the project through the planning process for us, which was of enormous help in what otherwise could have been a far more stressful experience because we had never attempted a project like this before. We would have no hesitation in recommending his services to others. The finished design has exceeded our expectations and transformed the way we live in our home. Thank you Andrew
