Tony has transformed our narrow barn conversion into a far more suitably proportioned, bright and airy family home. He has achieved this by the addition of a double storey extension with a picture window that allows light into previously dark areas of the house and maximises our view of the surrounding countryside. We now have a separate kitchen/diner and lounge which suits our needs as a family perfectly, new shower-room downstairs and office upstairs.
Tony has always listened carefully to our wishes and ideas, making helpful suggestions as necessary. He has been very approachable throughout the project and clear with explanations. He has been invaluable with communicating and coordinating with other professionals involved with our build.

Tony has been great. He listened very carefully to what we wanted to create in our home; looked round the existing building & very sensitively translated our ideas into a workable design. He has subsequently been very graceful about tweaking his plan & adapting it in response to our evolving ideas. Impressive.

Imaginative and feasible; open to dialogue and clever
on solutions.
The project was an extension to a Georgian house in East London - Grade 2 listed building with all the accompanying restrictions. Tony Martin was across all aspects of planning and able to liaise very effectively with local planning and EH to create a large top-lit family living room, bedroom and bathroom. His attention to detail was also impressive.
I intend to use Transposition again.

A challenging site like most central London houses, but we were able to fit in everyting that was required to create great new living spaces.

Tony Martin completed two projects for us - a conversation of a French 16th century Pigeonnier and an extension to a Georgian House in London which is listed and within a conservation area. We were delighted with both projects.
To focus on the Pigeonnier, he skilfully came up with a design to convert this semi derelict building into a two bedroom, two bathroom elegant and stylish family holiday home, with a huge double height living space incorporating the many hundreds of holes that used to be home to the building's original occupants!
He was immediately sympathetic to our design needs and came up with a variety of solutions which hit the mark. He is very clear in his thinking and communication and a pleasure to work with.

Comment from Transposition Architects Limited:
The Pigeonnier really was a challenge, at first it appeared unfeasible but with a little bit of divergent thinking we were able to extend to one side to accommodate the bedrooms under a fabulous roof terrace which allowed us to live the heart of the tower as a fantastic vaulted living space.

I collaborated with Tony on a large bungalow conversion, the architectural transformation was amazing, the once tired and dated exterior was transformed by Tony's vision and ideas (insertion of an orangery roof lantern, new windows, new exterior materials/finishing etc). I wouldn't hesitate to work with Tony again, he has clear ideas, great communication and is very easy to get along with.

A great collaboration which worked to both of our strengths - I look forward to future joint projects.

Having worked with Transposition on two previous schemes, we have now invited their input on a third scheme due to the clear thinking and positive suggestions provided at the early stages in particular, which have helped reduce inevitable re-working and ensure information has been provided in a timely, well considered manner.

Comment from Transposition Architects Limited:
We are very proud of the hugely successful and iconic development in Porthtowan, and continue to work with Acorn to bring about other new flagship schemes in the region.

Always happy to help out with inital design concepts for small kitchen extensions, and perfectly happy to 'let go' at the right moment to allow clients to 'build out' on their own.

My 60s house had a lot of wasted space and the flow through the house was not practical. Now I have a wonderful new modern home that fulfils all my needs and has exceeded my expectations.
Tony Martin of Transposition Architects not only designed the new layout and extension but project managed everything.
With a lot of forward planning and very regular site meeting everything went smoothly. Any building issues were dealt with promptly and caused no major problems.
I was very happy with the professional way I was treated and the way all the others involved in the work were treated.

Tony provided me the right balance of guidance and direction...without an over powering approach .....his designs met with full approval from me as he understood what I wanted....unusually, in my experience, he listened to the customer.
He was on time and within my budget.
I would not hesitate to use his skills again.

Tony created a wonderfully stylish and functional design for our new kitchen and extension that was way beyond what we thought possible. We were extremely impressed by his friendly and professional approach from first design meeting to project completion. He liaised with Building Control and our builders so that things progressed smoothly and on time. He is very thorough about every part of the project. This meant there were no nasty surprises and the work was completed on budget. You know how rare that is! We loved the clever little flourishes that he suggested to our house that made the space unique and completely ours. We recommend him unreservedly and enthusiastically.

Thanks Alex for your great comments and yes, we always try to look for opportunities for the occasional design 'flourish' that can make projects so distinctive!
