Respected Berkshire Architects Creating Exceptional Family Homes

page_type: prop_plus_profile

Creating the perfect home is many people’s ultimate dream. And that’s what our homeowners keep telling us we’ve done for them. That we’ve taken their vision and added to it. We’ve given them a home that’s beyond anything they could have imagined. Architecture isn’t just about the extension, about the rebuild. It’s about understanding the environment around you and the finer details to secure planning consent, considering the inside as well as the outside, to create a beautiful home that meets your needs. We’re with you every step of the way, ensuring that you are comfortable with how things are progressing, working to keep costs under control, managing the build if you want us to and even helping you with the interior design to get the perfect results you want. It’s about collaboration, building the bond and working with you as a team. Creating the magic that means that we continue our relationships way beyond the end of the project Absolute Architecture is all about creating ambitious dream homes that require a little extra imagination and inspiration.

We had the pleasure to work with Kate on our renovation work, extension and loft conversion. I had very set ideas on what I wanted, so needed someone who wouldn’t try and impose their ideas onto me but would offer guidance and support. Kate fulfilled this role perfectly! She listened to me, offered some suggestions, helped me overcome any problems and then produced plans for exactly what I had in mind. Kate is very professional and approachable, and the whole procedure went extremely smoothly. We now have a beautiful home which is exactly as I envisaged. Having recently had a valuation done, we are delighted to have recouped all the money spent on the work. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Absolute Architecture.

We have worked with Absolute Architecture on a number of projects and it is always a pleasure. Kate and her team really care about the finished space so are quite involved in the interiors, always giving their clients plenty of advice. Absolute Architecture have an extremely high level of attention to detail, immense design skills, bundles of enthusiasm and a great deal of local knowledge and experience. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone undertaking an architectural project - from a single storey extension through to a new-build.

Having met with several other architects, we decided to engage with Kate at Absolute Architecture because we instantly felt at ease with her, we were impressed with the design options she offered up at the initial consultation, as well as her evident detailed knowledge of the local building trade. As part of the Design Phase, Kate produced numerous design options, allowing us to fully explore many different ideas within our brief. She teamed this with high level costs, enabling us at the very early stage to rule out certain design options. We are very happy with the final plans as well as the 3D images of the outside of the building which are beautifully designed. We are incredibly excited to enter into the next phase of the project with Kate and Absolute Architecture.

Kate Cooper at Absolute helped us turn our half-formed ideas about what we wanted from our house extension into something really spectacular. Their creative vision was spot on — and their assistance with sourcing a building firm (who were also excellent) and project management meant the whole build was smooth, stress-free and (nearly!) finishes on time. A far cry from other experiences we’ve had on builds.

I contacted Kate when we were contemplating a major project (she had been highly recommended to us) and needed some advice on the art of the possible and costings. Kate was incredibly responsive and flexible, agreeing to meet us that the property at very short notice. The advice and information she gave us was invaluable in helping us to us to make an informed decision. We decided not to proceed with the project however will have no hesitation in contacting Kate in the future and highly recommend her professionalism to others.

We contacted Kate, Absolute Architecture in 2013 as we were undecided as to whether to totally reconfigure our existing home or demolish it and start afresh. From our initial meeting Kate was knowledgeable and practical in her approach to our dilemma and we took the decision to new build. It was extremely important to us that the new build, whilst meeting our accommodation needs should also be in keeping with its environment and our budget. Kate offered several different design options and we opted for a linear building which we felt suited the site. The building construction and materials suggested by Kate has ensured the building has blended well into its environment and offers us a comfortable, practical, energy efficient home which we continue to be delighted with and we would not hesitate in recommending the services of Absolute Architecture.

We have collaborated with Kate many times over the years and several of our clients have had recommendations from her. She demonstrates a high level of expertise and professionalism, creating designs with her interior head on, so you know she has thought about the whole package, inside and out. We would like to thank Kate for the many recommendations and we look forward to working with her more in the future.

We had decided the time was right to find the long term family home; a place with some character and period features that we could transform to suit 21st century living. With such a large decision at stake, Kate Cooper’s advice while we searched for the ideal property was invaluable; she was able to describe the full potential of properties as well as provide rough costings. Together we identified the perfect house which had the potential to really suit the way we wanted to live. After a few meetings to discuss ideas for how we might use the space, Kate drew up some great options to improve the property, ranging from minor work to more radical designs. This coupled with her interior design skills meant we could visualise the finished product, tailored to our specific budget. We would never have imagined the final design we chose, which was able to really open and modernised the living space while retaining the character features. Their attention to detail was excellent, Absolute Architecture are very professional and always went the extra mile on our project.

Absolute Architecture was a joy to work with. Kate Cooper and her team worked with a tiny, decrepit home, large garden and stables from 1908 and turned the property into a show piece. They were sympathetic to the original design and area while making the home user friendly and comfortable for contemporary residents. They were knowledgeable about the many local laws and guidelines and used the best local craftsmen for the renovation and addition, all in a timely, warm manner. We are so proud of our lovely home; it came out truly beautiful. Thank you Kate!
