So if you are planning a commercial, residential or community project that you’re keen to start please email us at info@pardonchambers.com or call us on 07964 356656 or 01279 909 988 and we can discuss the most suitable way forward for you. We look forward to hearing from you! Remote Feasibility Review Establishing the development possibilities of a site or building before you purchase, sell or invest in it is a vital first step to unlocking its value. It’s important to establish the feasibility of your proposals and to define a clear brief as early as possible to help de-risk the project from the outset. Through a series of desktop studies and online meetings with you our Virtual Project Feasibility Review will examine your project and site in order to understand precisely your requirements, site and budget constraints and then look at the feasibility of possible options to progress the project. Our findings and recommendations will then be summarised in a report which will also outline a plan to move forward. If you would like to discuss your project further please call on 07793 676 481 or 01279 909988 or alternatively you can email us on info@pardonchambers.com and we’ll send you a detailed summary of what’s included in the service.

During the alterations and updating of our Grade II Listed farmhouse Nicola was conscientious and professional with a great eye for detail. With our Planning / Listed Building application Nicola's negotiating skills ensured a smooth successful outcome.

Nicola's skills were excellent throughout - always following up her promises and keeping us informed which is especially important. We would highly recommend Pardon Chambers Architects from our own experience of their capabilities demonstrated both on & off site.

We were looking for an architect to design a contemporary house for us in the garden of our current home. We had always been impressed with a newly built house off Chantry Road in Bishop’s Stortford, we were able to contact the owners and find out that their house had been designed by Nicola Chambers of the Pardon Chambers architectural practice. We got in touch with Nicola and the process started quickly. Following a couple of meetings and site visits we were shown a design that we immediately liked and agreed on. Nicola took the design to pre application and the East Herts planner made a number of comments all of which were addressed by Nicola and incorporated in the final design that was submitted for planning approval. We were very pleasantly surprised when we found that Nicola’s design had gained planning approval and I put this down to Nicola: •being based locally has a good understanding of the area and East Herts planning; •accurately addressing all the planner’s points regarding the pre application; •building up a relationship with the planner through regular phone calls and meetings. We are now at the technical specification stage and engaging a company to undertake the build. We are very happy with the design and can’t wait for the dream to become a physical reality. Thanks for all your hard work Pardon Chambers, it all paid off and we greatly appreciate that! Neil & Lorna.

Nicola Chambers has worked with us on four different planning / listed building applications over the past few years. It has not been a smooth process, and we have had to amend and resubmit on occasion, but her dogged determination and constant professionalism has paid off and we now have approval in place for the changes we wanted to make. She has also assisted with specifications for building works, again with great care and attention to detail. I would wholeheartedly recommend Pardon Chambers to anyone looking for a dedicated firm of architects.

We commenced working with Pardon Chambers Architects at the start of 2019, when we appointed them to remodel our Victorian terrace house with the addition of rear extension/open living space and loft conversion. They listened to our needs and wants and interpreted that with an architect’s eye for precision and a practical living approach, creatively opening up our ideas and thinking of new ways to improve our living space, to deliver us a modern workable contemporary home. We also couldn’t recommend PCA highly enough for their professionalism coordinating and securing the planning approvals with the local council, alleviating the stress out of the situation. We’re now looking forward to working on the final stages of our build.

I employed Roman as architect and project manager on my project which consisted of a new side return with new kitchen / dining / living area together with new loft conversion and remodelled back garden. As architect he listened carefully to the brief and included everything in the final design whilst patiently providing design suggestions and advice. As project manager he visited the site at least weekly to ensure that each aspect of the build was completed to his high standards (he wasn’t afraid to get the builders to redo work that wasn’t completed to his satisfaction). At the start of the project we agreed a completion date of the week before Christmas. He was there on site on the final day hanging light fittings and doing the finishing touches so that Christmas went ahead as planned. Whilst there were cheaper alternatives available, my personal opinion is that the effort and time that Roman put in to ensuring my project was of excellent design and build quality meant it was well worth spending a little more. Highly recommended.

I couldn't recommend Roman more highly. The service he provided to us for the renovation of our house was top notch for both planning and the management of the build.

Roman was fantastic in helping us with our refurb on a Victorian house in need of love and light. His architectural drawings were great and the planning was made easy. He gave us lots of excellent ideas, that we would never have thought of ourselves, and was a joy to work with.

Rather than simply refurbish our house, Roman created a series of solutions that have transformed it. His brief was to improve the connection between the interior and the garden, and the end result has surpassed our expectations. The ensuing quality of light and the views outside provide a dynamic link when moving throughout the building. The plan we eventually finalised has improved flow, and given the house a relaxed yet considered vibe which feels calm and uplifting. Roman’s meticulous attention to detail - particularly in resolving junctions between materials and levels - combined with serious rigour on site, have resulted in a beautiful and intelligently resolved space. Niggles inevitably associated with a large project were met with nimble thinking alongside a collaborative and creative approach to problem solving. Newly added elements were carefully conceived to sit harmoniously alongside existing details, always sensitively respecting the original period without resorting to pastiche. Instead of a clumsily ‘bolted on’ addition, the finished extension is bespoke, subtle and elegantly integrated. As such, the planning applications that Roman submitted on our behalf were successfully passed: no mean feat in a conservation area.

I couldn't recommend Roman Pardon more highly. He is able to combine client focus, attention to detail and organisational abilities without diluting the integrity of his design vision. Having worked with other architects, it is very rare to find an architect/firm who is so strong in all these areas and marries so well the practical with the design.

We have been delighted with Roman Pardon as an architect and project manager.He was easy to work with. Good sense of humour and respectful of our ideas and expectations. He was creative and added some unexpected and stunning details to our garden hut that made all the difference.It has become a light and peaceful place to work that is never too hot or too cold .It is built as strong as a house and it will outlast us. We have used it for 8 years now and nothing has gone wrong. The unusual sliding doors allow the hut to open up totally and give one a feel of being outside ...no boundary between inside and outside...Roman also checked on the buiders and made sure the materials and workmanship were high quality. We always recommend him .

We highly recommend Pardon Chambers Architects for their outstanding vision and professionalism. It’s been a pleasure to work with them on two building projects at our home in North London: a kitchen extension in 2013 (shortlisted for the architecture award Don’t Move, Improve) and most recently an attic conversion in 2017. Roman took on board our ideas and developed them beautifully, finding elegant solutions both visual and practical. Thanks to the high level of detail in Roman’s drawings (commented on by our builder) and his rigour on-site we have exactly what we hoped for and more.
