We found Gilda Vasco of Metre Squared Architecture responsive, interested and extremely professional at all stages of the planning of our project. It was impressive to see how she was able to listen to our ideas and she then combined her expertise and vision with our thoughts in a highly creative and innovative way. The builders we consulted with Gilda's design were all very complimentary of her drawings saying they were particularly detailed and clear. Her warm caring unpressurised manner meant that we were able to maintain a healthy dialogue throughout the process. We recommend her very highly.

In the capacity of a builder, I have worked on a number of projects with Gilda and homeowners/clients. Gilda is always consultative and professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Gilda always as solutions for unexpected challenges. Attention to detail can be seen in the design and drawings.
Gilda is able to coordinate a multi skilled team and make the transition between the phases seamless, from planning through to inception. It is hard to find someone who you can trust and is passionate about what they do.
I always feel Gilda holds, the clients and builders hand through the build.

We used Metre Squared for a loft conversion to our Bungalow right from the initial Telephone call I made to them we felt as if they really had a can do and extremely positive attitude to our needs so we decided to engage them immediately and have had no cause to regret our decision. All our input was included in the Drawings and many improvements made to them they took control though all aspects of Planning and Building regs also engaging a very competent engineer the final result has been a first class designed conversion .
We can’t recommend Metre squared highly enough and feel it was all done at a reasonable cost .

Gilda did a great job making the best use of space which is always at a premium in London. She found ingenious ways to solve various spatial problems, such as making a staircase less steep, fitting in a walk-in shower as well as a bath in our small bathroom, and providing one of the rooms at the top of the new staircase with level access to the shower room there, even though there are now two steps into the bedroom at the top of the staircase.

Gilda did a great job helping us work out what we wanted when we wanted to rebuild half our house along with an extension.
We are very happy with the final result, and the work that Gilda did before and during the build, including liaising with the structural engineer and our builder.
Gilda's pricing was straightforward and accurate, and she popped in every now and then simply to see how things were getting on.
It was a pleasure having her design our house rebuild/extension.

Gilda is really good and professional, always on top of the situation. She did the drawings for the planning permit and the project manage and site monitoring during the building works. Excellent job.

The choice of an architect for my renovation project at 2 Normand Mews was a very big decision for me since I did not know any architects so how could I know that an architect I had never previously met, one who did not know me or know my taste could possibly produce plans that would be entirely acceptable to me, plans that would encompass the many features I had dreamt about throughout the many years of waiting to start my project.
Fortunately Ms Gilda Cevasco of Metre Squared could not possibly have been a better choice .... I am delighted with the results of my project which finished this summer. From our first meeting, Gilda understood how important this project was for me and I so appreciate her patience in taking the time and making the effort to ensure my expectations could be realised thanks to the excellent plans she produced. Her helpful advice throughout and professional knowledge produced my beautiful new home and it was a pleasure to deal with her every step of the way. Gilda is a true professional and I am very pleased with the excellent results from using Metre Squared.

We used Gilda at Metre Squared and were really pleased with the results. She was helpful and approachable and listened to our requirements and guided us through the process. The new kitchen looks great! She worked very well with our builders and made the process pretty painless. We would (and have) recommend her.

An amazing architect with outstanding design capabilities.
As a result of working with Metre Squared, Gilda created us an amazing and stunning home – we honestly feel none of which would have been achieved without her skill, support (significant at times!!) and assistance.
Her professionalism and design experience showed through at every stage making it a total pleasure to work with her. She has consistently high standards.

I was recommended Gilda at Metre Squared by a friend. From the outset she was a breath of fresh air, she listened carefully to what we wanted and came up with a number of innovative ideas. Throughout the project Gilda was professional and super efficient. She has a wealth of knowledge on which we could draw. Anything from recommended builders and engineers to solving problems and sourcing materials . The quality of and enthusiasm for her work was clear throughout. We are delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend Gilda.

I am happy to highly recommend Metre Squared architecture. Gilda provides a wealth of experience. She was able to convert our ideas and vision to realistic designs, providing a range of options for us to consider. Gilda was patient and flexible to work with and was able to clearly and simply explain the end to end process from design and planning permission through to building works and building control.
I have learnt so much through this process and have appreciated Gilda's expertise and support.

"After reviewing a few architects I came across Metre Sq and met with Gilda to run some ideas past her on what we saw as our vision of what our extension should look like. Metre squared full hand holding approach from visionary plans to gaining local planning permission was excellent and they were always available for questions and details on timing and the overall process. I could not have asked for a better firm to help simplify and remove the stresses and strains of building work. I will highly recommend Metre square to friends and colleagues and cannot thank them enough for all the help provided."
