Anthony was fantastic to work with. He really understood the vision we had for our house — as well as our budget. We never felt under any pressure from him, and he was more than happy to provide alternative approaches to our design based on our budget and space. The project design documentation did a fabulous job of bringing our shared vision to life. It was filled with examples of how our final product could look, and it made us even more enthusiastic about the project. His plans and design completely fulfilled - and surpassed - our expectations, with only minor tweaks made to the final proposal. Anthony’s attention to detail is second to none, and his reassuring presence made navigating the project a breeze for renovation newcomers like ourselves.

Comment from dwell design:

Thank you Jess and Brooke. I think it's reasonable to let you know that your review caused some blushing yesterday after it was spotted by Nikki. Your lovely words are most appreciated. It's wonderful for us that clients have such a positive experience. It really does make a big difference to us.

We used dwell design for a huge rennovation project. We had a vision in mind and we had a strong feeling that Anthony and team understood what we were after. We were delighted when they nailed it even with the first set of draft plans! dwell design were a pleasure to work with. They were flexible and creative when tweaks had to be made (an inevitable part of such a big build) and took our vision further than we had thought of. We intend to use dwell design again for our next project. I would definitely recommend them.

Anthony has been excellent to work with. He helped us come up with a design that worked well for our needs. His attention to detail is second to none and has offered help and guidance in every step. Getting our plans through planning permission were very easy and with no objections at all with is a testament to how good the plans are. Would recommend and would definitely use again. Thanks

Anthony and his team were excellent throughout the project. He completed a very thorough initial complimentary assessment to fully understand our aspirations and started adding to our ideas immediately. He fully understood the renovation and required finishes and reassured us that the house could be designed to meet both our expectations and budget. This did not alter throughout the project and he was incredibly helpful in overcoming any issues and working closely with the builder when required. There were no hold ups at all with his team ensuring that all the appropriate plans were ready both at the pre planning and technical stages. The plans were incredibly detailed and helped the builder enormously throughout the project. They removed any ambiguity and met all our expectations. We decided to manage the build ourselves but Anthony was always available to help with any specific questions. He did not try and pick and choose which elements he completed, he worked with us and could not have done more. Through Anthony’s vision, experience and wanting to ensure he created the best possible design for us we have ended up with our dream home delivered on time and on budget. Both Anthony and his team were simply brilliant and we would have no hesitation in highly recommending to anyone in the future.

Thank you for your kind words and additional photos, especially of the view and lighting in the evening, we're so happy the place looks so great. The project was a pleasure from start to finish.

I couldn't be more happy with the level of partnership we have experienced from Anthony and his team on our project. From the initial design phase, Anthony's attention to detail and creative approach to getting the most from our home, and creating a space that our whole family could relax in and enjoy, has been really impressive. It is clear that the team treat your project with the level of care and attention that they would if it was their own home and this, together with their expert knowledge and professionalism has been both reassuring and cost and time efficient. Ultimately, having Dwell Design working with us has saved us time, money and alot of worry. At every stage Anthony and Rachel have worked with us very closely. Nothing has been too much trouble. Working with an architect is an ongoing relationship that carries you through the ups and downs of any project. If you choose well, an architect can make sure that there are many more ups and we are so glad we chose Dwell Design. Having them on board throughout the process and not just for the design has continued to be a great investment and one well worth making as there are so many more things to a successful refurbishment or extension than just good drawings and a creative design. We are half way through our project right now and I can honestly say that every penny we have invested in having Anthony and Rachel on board has been worth it. Thank you both!

Anthony from Dwell Design Ltd have been amazing throughout all aspects of our project. He has been very friendly and always willing to go the extra to assist us. Anthony has a great attention to detail and is very creative in designing our build. Anthony was always able to be contactable and was quick to respond to emails. Anthony had no problems with travelling to meet us, even with a greater distance to normal. Our neighbours were building at the same time and used a designer instead of an architect. This has highlighted to us the importance of using an appropriate person, and Anthony helped us to resolve problems with their next doors design and build, including making a suggestion to ensure both builds can proceed. Dwell Design are a great company and very friendly and we would recommend them as a company and would use them again.

Dwell Design have done a complete refurbishment and redesign on our home, bringing our home up to modern standards particularly adding more insulation and storage. Although the project isn’t yet complete we’ve been really pleased with the speedy communication and attention to detail from Dwell Design. The transformation is amazing!

We’re so glad that we came across Dwell when looking for a local architect to help us extend and update our 1980s house. Whilst a relatively small project Rachael has been fantastic at making suggestions to the design and layout that will fit within our budget. She has also been especially patient with numerous changes and re-designs and talking us through the various options. We’re thrilled with the final design and can’t wait to start the build and see the finished result.

Having agonised about whether I could submit my own drawings and planning application for our basement conversion in a Grade 2 listed building in Old Portsmouth, I was recommended to contact Dwell Design by someone independently advising us on building regulations. Whilst easy to talk up the super-fast turn around, accuracy and inventiveness of Anthony's work, what really stood out is his personal qualities. He is a thoroughly polite and engaging man who we instantly warmed to. We are so glad that we got hold of him and, from his free-of-charge first consultation to his final submission to get us our listed building and planning consent, he has been superb. We really can not recommend him enough.

We instructed Dwell to come up with a concept design to update and improve our current home. The house was originally a 1930s bungalow that had been extended at various times over the years, a lot of the work was poorly thought out with no consistent look or style to the building, the house is extremely dark in places and upstairs there are headroom issues. Essentially, we wanted to improve the space upstairs, drastically improve the light levels and give the whole house a fresh,modern look. Having lived with the consequences of bad design for a while, we were very keen to find an architect who could help us make the very best of the space we had and who would work with us to improve the house as a whole. At the end of the planning process, we now have a design that we could not be happier with. The building looks stunning inside and out and now the plans have been passed we are looking forward to making the design a reality.

I am an experienced property investor, developer and construction project manager. I have worked with numerous Architects over the years and I can easily say that, from a residential point of view, Anthony and his team have been exemplary. Together we have worked on total transformations of existing buildings and recently new build projects. With each project Anthony has shown a complete understanding from a design, planning and build point of view which is refreshing. I have found in the past that architects can be very knowledgeable in just one area but Anthony seems to have all bases covered. He totally dedicates himself to every project and his attention to detail is excellent. We have more projects in the pipeline and I have no intention on working with anyone else.
