Armstrong Simmonds Architects

John and his team have been brilliant to work with for our full house renovation and extension in SW London. Our house is quite unique and that combined with it being in a conservation area we knew it wouldn't be a straight forward planning process - but Armstrong Simmonds did a fantastic job and helped us navigate us through every step. We couldn't be happier with the detailed design and outcome.

John and the team have helped us work up plans to refurbish our Victorian terrace. They are a pleasure to work with and have provided a seamless service. Creative, competent, professional team. Recommended. Thank you!

Having worked with Armstrong Simmonds Architects on various residential projects I can highly recommend them. Their team understands the client’s needs and ensures that the project runs smoothly. It is extremely beneficial working with technically competent architect that leads the desgin process and delivers well thought final product

Had some drawings done and very impressed. Professional and creative in approach. Good eye for design and detail. Nice and personable people as well. Felt they really understood what I was trying to achieve and engaged fully with the brief.

Armstrong Simmonds Architects fully understood our brief when we were redesigning our property. They quickly understood what we were looking for and fully met the brief. We were delighted with the result and can’t recommend them highly enough for their professionalism, creativity and attention to detail.

John and Nick did a fantastic job firstly in drafting the plans for our basement conversion and side return, then also in helping us obtain planning permission within the restraints of a conservation area. Nick was very pleasant to deal with, very proactive and responsive, and went the extra mile to get the critical aspects of the design through planning.

I cannot recommend Armstrong and Simmonds architects highly enough. Within minutes of John meeting us at our home he had understood our brief and was sharing a vision that ticked all of our boxes. We had met with other architects who did not inspire us and told us the shape we wanted for our extension would not be possible. John had excellent knowledge of the local planning rules, researched planning submissions in the immediate area and was confident that he would get our application through - and he did! During the detailed design process John and his team listened closely to how we wanted to use the space. He came up with many design features and solutions to save costs and keep our dream design within our budget. Throughout the process they delivered an innovative plan that felt personal to us in a professional and timely manner. We found John and his team to be responsive, helpful and caring. They went above and beyond to get our project over the line and I have no hesitation in recommending the firm to anyone looking at home extension/improvement. We would not look anywhere else for any future builds!

We received excellent advice when refurbishing a four bed house, including carrying out a wrap around extension to the kitchen area, proposing some very attractive and clear ideas. As a company they were very good with communication throughout the whole planning and building process. Overall, very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone

We appointed Armstrong Simmonds Architects following a competitive tender to remodel and extend a Victorian terraced house in Southfields. We worked closely with John Armstrong on the initial designs and the planning considerations. Surveying of the existing property was swiftly conducted and the team were very proactive in the management of our planning applications which were granted with no amendments. Although we only specified a basic drawings package our builders and those that tendered for the project were complimentary on the detail and thoroughness of the plans. John also made himself available to discuss issues during the build which has been extremely helpful. I would recommend asking to see practical examples of what is included at each price point to ensure expectations are clear on what is included. In addition we have appointed Armstrong Simmonds Architects to produce drawings and manage the planning application for garden gym building and will likely work on additional projects with John and the team.

I can't recommend Armstrong Simmonds enough, they helped to create a stunning result for our renovation and extension. With John and the team's meticulous planning and creativity we now live in our dream home.

Excellent service and output. Set us on good course on our build. Very happy with the outcome and feel that the good planning enabled us success in the build on timetable and budget.

Architects Armstrong Simmonds were appointed by us to turn our concept of open plan living into reality, which they did with extraordinary vision and design flair. The AS team listened carefully to our ideas and transformed an ordinary detached house into a breathtakingly beautiful home that offered light, space and a lifestyle that exactly reflected our needs and requirements . AS worked closely with us and our builder, and their focus to detail in the design and build was impressive. This young architectural practice in our opinion, offers something more. They listen, understand and are unique in their ability to conceptualise, plan and build with imagination, whilst considering aesthetics and functionality. Linda and Allan Roberts

We hired Chris to design a 3 metre rear extension on our 1930's property including the removal of certain interior walls to create a large, spacious open plan kitchen & dinning area with a separate utility room. Chris was thorough, accurate and a pleasure to work with. We particularly like the way the rear supporting RSJ was imbedded into the floor cavity to create a completely flat ceiling - something others said wasn't possible.

AS Architects are efficient , polite and have a real passion for their craft . I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again . The designs are impressive too.
