Concept 8 Architects

We have worked with the team at Concept Eight for many years and they have always provided an excellent service to their clients, and to us at White & Lloyd when we have worked alongside each other on numerous projects. We are always pleased with the clarity of their architectural designs which makes it a smoother process when imposing our structural designs. We would highly recommend them

We selected Concept8 for the re-model of our house as we were attracted by their creative designs and how they could blend new features with traditional. This was the first time we had undertaken such a project and Concept8's advice, professional approach and clear guidance on every step was most helpful. We are particularly pleased with how we have brought much more light in to our kitchen and lounge with crittal glazing and yet retained the traditional aspects of the house. The close relationship the Concept8 team developed with our builder was key to working through challenges and completing the project on schedule.

We couldn't recommend Concept 8 Architects highly enough. They truly listened to all of our concerns and wishes and brought our vision to life with exceptional skill. Their designs are unique, sophisticated and intelligently crafted. The drawings were detailed and meticulously thought out, and they were always available to offer guidance and support throughout the entire building process. An outstanding team from start to finish and we are very proud of the house we have built.

We are thrilled with our new space, thanks to Concept 8. We initially chose Concept 8 because we found them inspiring, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We found the team great to deal with, from design stage and throughout the project. They clearly understood our requirements and helped us build the perfect space. The best part of the design is our magnificent windows in the kitchen, which look down the garden. Stunning! Thank you Concept 8.

We hired Concept 8 to design our rebuild, and they really listened to what we needed. The result is a beautiful home that flows perfectly for our family of six, with loads of light and well-thought-out spaces. One of our favourite features is the garden terrace on the first floor—it gives us lovely views of the park and brings light through both floors. The design process was smooth, and although the tender pack felt pricey at first, it ended up being a smart investment that helped us save money during the build. The build stage took longer than expected (partly due to COVID), and we would’ve appreciated a bit more support during construction, especially with some of the more complex elements like the shuttered concrete. A few site visits would have made a big difference. That said, the end result is a home we truly love—and if we had to do it all again, we’d still choose Concept 8

Concept8 helped me remodel and extend our dated 1920s house. I had first met Mufajel 10 years ago when he just started his practice. As I moved overseas for work, it was only in 2022 that we could turn Mufajel and Barry's vision of a bright and airy modern house into reality. The building was brought into the 21st century, while the original design structure and theme were kept. The design was a product of a number of iterations with occasional visual renditions. The end product is very much in line with the visuals presented. Concept 8 guided us through the tender process and the actual construction phase, including liaising with planners and helping me source materials at times. The best advice they gave was the choice of the builder who was not necessarily the lowest cost but whom they trusted from past experience. The build phase was pretty much in time and more or less within budget (excluding some upgrading that I requested). Like any build project, ours was eventful with unexpected planning issues / material shortage / price increases. I wholeheartedly recommend Concept Eight for anyone with an ambition to build from scratch or undertake a major remodelling of an existing building.

We recently employed the services of Concept 8 to help us design and build a new modern large family home on the site of an old bungalow. Following the first meeting with Concept 8 I was impressed with their creative thinking balanced with consideration for cost and reality. We worked through multiple designs and used an iterative approach to refine and finalize the project design and scope. Concept 8 guided us through the entire end to end process, from design & planning through construction and on to project completion. They helped us select our builder, source kitchen designers, source glazing & products and even provided interior design services. They were always responsive and ensured all controls and check points were achieved. The project went very smoothly, even through Covid and we pretty much completed on time and within budget. Our completed house is exactly as we originally envisaged thanks to Concept 8 and I thoroughly recommend them.

Concept Eight were excellent and guided us through the whole design and build project. We had never done anything on this scale before, so it was great to have a professional, friendly and supportive team by our sides throughout the whole experience. We are so happy in our new home and love absolutely everything about it. We would highly recommend Mufajel and his team.

Mufajel and his team at Concept 8 Architects were amazing. We found them online during our move to Weybridge and after speaking to them realised they were practical, honest and very experienced. We knew they would be a good fit to work with and they were. We did a total remodel of a house and they helped us at every stage from design, planning, budgeting expectations, tender drawings, project management and advice throughout the project. I fully recommend their services. We wouldn't have been able to create our home without them.

When we decided to extend our house, we talked to a few architects without being really convinced by any of them. They all seemed to propose a standard “box at the back”. I had seen properties in my area that looked different from the others for their simple, elegant, modern and light lines. I found out they were designed by Concept Eight. Once we had the chance to meet Mufajel and his team we knew it was the right fit for us. They spent considerable time to understand what our vision for the space was and how we intended to live it. They were happy to explore many different configurations surprising us with their clever and original ideas. They were able to create a place that feels (at least to us) special the moment you walk through the front door thanks to the use of lots of glass features and interesting ideas that merge the inside and the outside. A large glass wall and an interesting roof-light that “slices the room” letting the light and the view of the trees in are two of the best features of our project. Attention to the light, original designs, use of unusual materials are all element that make Concept Eight stand out and I would definitely recommend them.

Mufajel and his team were great to work with on our glass extension. They have a lot of amazing design ideas. Would highly recommend.

We worked with Concept8 when remodelling and extending our house. They were recommend to us by an acquaintance and we heard fantastic references from other previous customers as well. Concept8 were so easy to work with and the entire process was very smooth. Creative, and quickly understood what we liked and were looking for. Great relationship with good builders also helped the whole process along. Highly recommend working with them!
