Over the last few months, I’ve had a full house refurbishment and loft extension completed by Bespoke Living AIC, and it has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. The project began with their live design session, where Brian came to my home, carried out a detailed survey, and created proposed plans for me on the day. This instantly helped me visualise what was possible and made such a difference in bringing the project to life right from the start. After that, I began working with their interior designer, Megan, who has been brilliant. She’s friendly, approachable, and took the time to really understand my needs and ideas. Megan listened carefully to how we live as a family and transformed our vision into a design that blended style and practicality beautifully. Throughout the process, she’s guided me through different design schemes, sourced samples, and talked me through every option in detail during virtual meetings. It has all been such a smooth and enjoyable journey. The level of care and attention to detail from the whole team has been remarkable, everything has been tailored perfectly to our lifestyle. I’m beyond happy with how the project is coming together and can’t wait to enjoy the finished home. I would highly recommend Bespoke Living AIC to anyone planning a renovation or extension, they’ve turned what could have been a stressful process into something truly exciting and fun.

Brian and his team at Bespoke living have a unique approach of delivering a fantastic design package with clear detailed drawings to work from. As a building contractor a comprehensive set of drawings is key to a successful project. It enables flow and continuity which results in a project coming in on time and more importantly within budget for the clients. Bespoke living are an obvious choice for any project domestic or commercial. Tom Pithers Pithers Construction Ltd

We really enjoyed working with Brian and the rest of the Bespoke team. They really listened to our requirements and designed to our brief, while also offering several creative options. Their time management is excellent and they also impress with their practicality in terms of design, costs and timescales.

Brian has helped us with a couple of projects: a side return and some internal remodeling in 2018 and again with plans for a loft extension in 2020. We were very happy with his advice and quality of construction drawings; all done at a reasonable price which is very transparent on his website. Indeed his clarity of pricing was one of the main things that attracted us in the first place. Despite being based in Wales, Brian is regularly in London and quick to get hold of. He knows the local planning authorities well and was able to advise quickly on what would and wouldn't get through the planners. Would certainly recommend Ask My Architect.

Brian and his team provided design work and planning permission advice relating to a significant two wing extension to a large traditional farmhouse. Importantly, they listen and interpret the wishes and aims of the client, whilst not being afraid to offer constructive suggestions and an alternative view.

Like a lot of people we had a rough idea about what we wanted but needed ideas on how to make it happen. Brian and Tom are very professional and approachable and above all else, patient. We have had a number of changes of mind and in every case their attitude has been entirely customer focussed making them a pleasure to deal with. Everything is upfront and in writing. There are no unexpected costs with the billing system they use. I had no prior knowledge of this company but would definitely use them again in future.

It felt like Brian at ask my Architect literally waved a magic wand for our project. We were told by the council for years that extending our property to the side of the house was simply not allowable because of planning rules associated with building lines at the end of our street. When I mentioned this to Brian he said that he would be able to use local precedents in the area to be able to provide a strong case for the project. I was initially sceptical given the battles I’d had and the letters I’ve had from the council. But Brian obtained full planning permission for the project within a matter of a few short months. I am absolutely thrilled with what Brian did and that without him the project never would’ve gone ahead.

Brian MacEntee and AMA designed an extension to our home. This comprised the demolition of a side garage and the creation of a kitchen and lounge area that was in keeping with the overall look and feel of the rest of the building. We didn't want the ubiquitous 'box extension' that is usually proposed for this kind of project. Brian's initial visit fully explored our thinking for the work and challenged some of our assumptions and expectations. From initial sketches, on site-drawings and then various telephone conversations we were delighted with the final drawings which were only slightly tweaked over the subsequent days to arrive at the finished article. His liaison with our builders ensured the completed project conformed to the original vision. The entire work AMA did was completed on time and in line with the original quote. The work AMA did for us has transformed the way we live in our home, added value and provided an element of pleasure that cannot be quantified which it still does some 4 years later.

We are considering house interior structural modifications for our house and Brian prepared a few plans for us, bringing many new ideas that we did not think about. We are still in the process of finalising our project but I would recommend his services.

Brian and his team at Ask My Architect are an excellent company. They went out of there way to have design meetings in the evenings and at weekends to fit around our lives and were always extremely professional. We highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.

We used Ask My Architect when completing our new kitchen and living space extension in 2016 and couldn't recommend them more. Within one short visit to our house we were provided with an outline of three different approaches adding ideas into the mix that we hadn't even thought of. The drawings were prepared quickly and to a really high standard after which Brian and the team worked really well to assist our builder throughout the build process. Really Happy!!

We have had the pleasure of working with Brian and his team for the past 12 months. Brian has been instrumental in enabling the project to come to life from early phase concept through to the point where we can now move forward with the build. At every stage Brian and his team have been exceptionally professional and have done a great job in taking our feedback and articulating in design. Due to the complexity of our project Brian has worked closely with additional industry professionals in order to facilitate our desired outcome and pass the planning application first time round, top marks. We 100% recommend Brian and his team and look forward to getting the build started once this lockdown period is over.

Brian has a unique capability to see how an existing building can be converted into something completely different in order to provide additional space, light and a more efficient flow of the property. I found his company very professional to deal with and the quality of the work excellent. From the design and specification details, I was able to solicit competitive prices and used Brian's team to support my project throughout to construction phase. As a result; the project was very successful and stress free.

Hightly recommended. We worked with Brian and his team on our full-house refrubishment in Wandsworth, London. It involved considerable internal restructuring and a substantial extension and also had some significant legal issues that Brian and his team abily helped us to navigate. We found the Ask My Architect approach to services and fees to be refreshing compared to many old-school London based firms. The flexible approach offered worked brilliantly and their use of technology to work remotely enabled us to work quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend this company

We have just had an initial live design session with Brian to look at our refurbishment. He was extremely helpful throughout the process and really helped to bring the project to life. Looking forward to working with him over the coming months
