Have used Rob and the team for designs for two house now and both times they have really enhanced the way we use the house and helped us maximise the space, incorporating our requirements whilst coming up with great features and ideas that we would never have considered. Highly recommend Rob and the team

First class planning consultation, open to suggestions at the same time bringing in fresh ideas that built on the original plan. Excellent liaison with planning permission consultants to obtain necessary consents. Superb working relationship with the contractors and exemplary handling of the inevitable issues that occur with a complex project (mansard roof extension). Very much worth investing in LSA's project management support, especially if not experienced in the building trade. Would willingly recommend.

As an interior designer I’ve had the pleasure of working collaboratively with Three Eleven delivering successful, creative design projects together. I’ve found them to be open, professional and client focused. A positive team who consistently deliver creative, functional outcomes.

We used Life Size Architecture (who were recommended by a work colleague), in 2019/20 to help us extend our house and make an open plan living and dining area to the rear. Rob's designs were great, giving plenty of light, which was very important for us, and a very workable space was created. We love it so much the rest of the house is bit neglected at the moment! We wanted to live in the house during the work, and because this meant there was some crucial sequencing of service interruptions that was then needed, we used Life Size for project management too. I was delighted that we didn't have to worry about having heat, light and water at any time, it was definitely the right decision for us.

Life Size Architecture did some excellent work for us to deliver our kitchen extension project. The service was very comprehensive and we were able to overcome some challenges during the design stages that would have otherwise made the build very difficult onsite. The attention to detail in that respect was outstanding. The space achieved has completely changed our home, how we use it and without doubt, how much we love it. Highly recommended on all fronts!

We used Life Size Architecture (or 3 Eleven as they were known then) in 2017 to help design the renovation for our basement and ground floor in our townhouse in Kemptown. A neighbour had recommended them and, after inviting a couple of other architects to submit their tenders, we really felt they had gone out of their way to understand our requirements and come up with some practical solutions and at a competitive price in their bid.
They came up with a range of designs from which we were able to cherry pick the features (many of which that we hadn't previously envisaged) that worked for us, and handled the planning applications without a hitch.
Although we didn't use them to manage the build for our house, I also asked them to assist with some office renovations in London in 2018 - for which I did ask them to manage the entire job - and I wish I had done that for our house rebuild.
It's now 2020, and having the new space has been a godsend during these difficult months of lockdown.
Highly recommend.

Rob and his team were truly amazing in helping us convert a barn and stables in poynings into a our home. They are not only professional but go the extra mile by always helping out with the minor or major issues at short notice. They made this experience which can be stressful much smoother and more pleasurable. We recommend them highly.

We employed this company to undertake a design for a kitchen extension in 2019 which was long overdue in our terraced house in Hove. They were recommended to us by our neighbour whose judgement and advice we trusted completely.
Throughout a number of meetings to discuss and plan the design , we were very impressed by their friendliness professionalism and willingness to listen to our ideas, however unrealistic. They gave us careful insights into what would work best for the proposed space we were changing and visited at regular intervals with clear drawings so we could see what would work for us, always completing any revisions in a timely manner. Their communication, both written and in person were very impressive and this allowed us to feel part of the planning of our project.
We are delighted with the finished result having moved back in December 2019 and have continued to love the living space that was conceptualised by them.
We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of embarking on any structural changes to their property.

We used Life Size as our Main Architect/Designer/Project Manager for our new build home in Brighton (completed Aug 2020). We were very happy with our selection and the look & feel of our new home is great. The Life Size team were professional and easy to work with. Throughout the whole process the Project Management was on point, with a client based approach. We would recommend Life Size and use them again in the future.

Our particular project hasn't reached the construction stage as we have been through a very rigorous planning process, greatly supported by the Life Size team. From our initial contact they understood our vision exactly, have allowed us to have the desired level of input, translating our ideas into something beautiful yet realistic and have supported and introduced us to the right professionals to help us in our quest to achieve our dreams within the confines of a conservation area. Always responding quickly and enthusiastically and adapting to the changing demands of our local planning department as well as ourselves and always having solutions and answers. Each member of the team gives you the impression of their commitment and the huge value they bring to the project. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Life Size Architecture and look forward to our continued relationship as our project unfolds.

After successfully purchasing a once-noble but more recently faded pre-WWII two storey brick house located in a private road in Cobham during mid 2016, we were fortunate enough to contact Three Eleven Design early in the process of searching for an architect that could help bring our renovation and extension hopes and aspirations to life. Rob and his team were enthusiastic about the project from the very beginning and the innovative, considerate and thoroughly professional approach that they took in breathing life into our dream was exactly what we had hoped for. From a timing perspective regarding both design and also planning approval, we were ambitious and Three Eleven Design were able to complete the design (including several iterations) and also lodge the planning application and receive planning confirmation & approval all within 4 months.
When we then moved to the construction phase, Three Eleven Design continued to be actively involved and engaged in the project – as part of the wider professional team. Contrary to the experience of many other people in the UK residential construction industry, our project was completed on time – we moved in on the exact day identified at the very start of the program – and the project was delivered also within budget. The end result is a home that we are immensely proud of, as it is a wonderful mix of classical, modern & clean lines, light & spacious rooms and a creative use of materials and finishes. Based on our experiences, we would have no hesitation in recommending Three Eleven Design.

We have worked with Rob and three|eleven design on some fantastic projects which have brought his creative vision and amazing design skills to life. It is great working with Rob as he understands the whole process and the value of involving a contractor early to ensure buildability is prioritised and considered before plans are finalised. Once onsite and the project is handed over Rob remains very responsive, pragmatic and solution focused when dealing with design details ensure the best for the design, project and most importantly the client.
