Semi-undergreound outbuilding in Twickenham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I hired Matthew to manage all the aspects of an ambitious outbuilding design and planning. Matthew took over from another provider that had made a mess and sorted out everything in the most efficient (cost & time) way. The architectural solutions he proposed and the time he took to actually listen to what I wanted to achieve sets him apart from the other architects I have interviewed). The solution he design was approved in first instance by the council and it maximises both the surface to be built and minimises the landscape impact in my backyard. Matthew will be undoubtedly a fantastic hire for anyone who wants a job well done, a budget kept and a timeline that doesn't keep stretching. I will be deligthed to work again with Matthew when the occasion comes around.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Matt was bought on board to design and oversee the installation of an accessible bathroom. We chose Matt because he had experiences in both problem shooting practical design issues and working with old period dwellings. Matt connected an old log shed to the main body of the house and converted it into a beautiful accessible bathroom, while retaining some of the outdoor space still for storage. His attention to detail was exemplary, sustainability at the core of his designs, with a focus on efficient insulation and warmth. He also took great care to design a room which honoured the style of the rest of the house, the result of which is seamless. Matt sourced all the high quality fixtures and fittings, bought on board a build team, and oversaw the project in its entirety to ensure it did justice to the very precise architectural plans and drawings. Matt was a pleasure to work with.

I would highly recommend RVI; Matthew was a delight to work with . His breadth of experience was apparent as he guided us through each stage of the renovation process. His designs and solutions were both creative and attentive to our ideas and resulted in spaces that we enjoy everyday. Excellent at communicating and very knowledgable about sustainable strategies which was an important aspect for us.

RVI Architectural Design was hired to design and oversee the renovation of our property in London. From start to finish they came up with some amazingly creative ideas for the space, they sourced and managed all contractors extremely well, and ensured that every detail of the project was completed to the highest of standards, on time and within budget. RVI Architectural Design went above and beyond his remit to ensure his vision was flawless. His attention to detail is incredible. I have no hesitation in recommending RVI Architectural Design.

I worked with Matt at RVI to redesign and renovate a number of tricky, often delicate properties. I have always been delighted with the results. His designs always make the most of the light and space. And his attention to detail in the drawings, specifications and planning of the work actually has the builders singing his praises too! He makes the whole experience very smooth and efficient. And we invariably end up with a good result.

I would highly recommend RVI Architectural Design. Having bought a house that needed work doing and consequently architect's drawings, I am thankful I met Matt. He came onto the site with enthusiasm and many ideas, which changed my way of looking at the project. Having never done any thing like this before - the novice questions I was asking, Matt answered in a way that was both professional and easily comprehensible. I was also very impressed with the drawings received
