Trevor Brown Architects

Trevor and his team provided a fantastic service from start to finish, and we couldn’t recommend TBA more. From planning to designing to managing the project, Trevor was there every step of the way, advising us on everything from design details to structural decisions for our side return and internal reconfiguration. We couldn’t have done it without him and his team - they helped us realise our dream kitchen, and they were always so approachable, meticulous and thorough. We couldn’t love our new kitchen/living space more, and we will be using TBA again for any future works. Thank you, Trevor and team!

We cannot recommend Trevor and his team more highly - we initially instructed them to help with drawings and light interior design and as our project progressed, we needed their expertise for specific challenges and we ended up relying heavily on their guidance and support. They are technically excellent from an architectural perspective and have great judgement regarding design and interiors. We felt very lucky to have found them and could not have completed our project without them!

We have had the pleasure of working with Trevor and his team at tba for over a-year on our extension & renovation project and we are delighted with the results. Prior to working with Trevor, I visited three houses that he had renovated previously on our road and all of our neighbours said his work was excellent - and I saw it myself. Appointing Trevor to act as our architect and project manager was an easy decision. He responded to my initial inquiry on the Sunday that I emailed him and we set-up an introductory meeting that week. We were impressed with his knowledge and experience transforming similar properties as well as his proactivity and high-quality design suggestions and portfolio. Although we considered two other local architects, I'm so glad we chose tba. Trevor then proceeded to help us frame our requirements and narrow down our design choices into a truly special design for our house that exceeded our expectations. Trevor then made the process of planning permission and tendering for a building contractor simple and straight forward. He was able to pin-point the exact approval dates and contracting dates well in advance and the build started very smoothly. We were extremely grateful for as we had to move out of our house for the work to take place. Throughout the building work, Trevor kept us proactively up-to-date with progress and managed the resolution of countless issues that emerged as the work revealed some challenges with the existing structure. It's hard to overstate the complexity of the project and the hundreds of decisions that Trevor helped us simplify and navigate to help us create our dream house. From the tiniest fixtures and fittings to structural considerations, Trevor has been on-top of all of it and refused to let anything go until it's resolved. We're delighted with the results which have exceeded our expectations. I can't recommend Trevor and the tba team highly enough. They have made our dreams come true!

We would highly recommend Trevor and his excellent team. They brought fantastic design, professionalism, patience, flexibility and great communication to every aspect of our project, and we could not be happier with the results. We will always be so grateful that we found them!

I cannot recommend Trevor Brown Architects enough. From start to finish he and the team were outstanding. The attention to detail was meticulous throughout, in both the planning stage and project management stage. They came up with ideas that I would not have dreamt of and as a result have my dream house. I am so pleased that I used them to project manage as they dealt with everything throughout the renovations, liaising with all of the various contractors, attending the property when needed and much much more. As a result the project took the exact amount of time that he said it would from the beginning and did not over run. Finally, Trevor was always on hand for my constant flurry of calls, messages and emails so the project was as seamless and stress free as possible. I will definitely use them again.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Trevor, Florentina, Sarah and and the rest of the TBA team on our recent project. From our first phone conversation, we were confident that Trevor was organised, creative and knowledgeable and were assured that he would support us on a full renovation and extension in our new home. We were proved correct as the whole process from developing multiple layout proposals to securing planning permission and managing the tender process went smoothly and we were able to create our dream home that we probably couldn’t even imagine when we first walked in the door! As well as the architectural design and project management, TBA went above and beyond when it came to interior design - supporting us with paint colour choices, bathroom tile suggestions and even lighting schemes that definitely enhance our home and always gather compliments. They took on board our feedback but made sometimes bold suggestions that we wouldn’t have considered ourselves. The design is so strong and well thought-through that we all felt at home within weeks of living there. We even moved in a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team and would recommend them without any reservation.

Trevor and the whole team at tba were simply outstanding. They designed and project managed the extension and wholesale renovation of our newly-purchased North London home, which was delivered on time and on budget (during a pandemic no less). We can hardly believe that we get to live in such a beautiful and carefully considered home. tba produced multiple, iterative layout proposals that took account of our preferences and lifestyle with young children. Once the design was finalised, tba helped obtain planning permission for us, tendered the project (which was awarded to an excellent company with a proven track record for tba) and oversaw the execution of the design. tba was also closely involved in the interior design of the house and came up with interesting and bold ideas that we would never have thought of but which work beautifully. Quite apart from the end result, working with tba was a pleasure. Trevor and the team were always professional, responsive and keen to help. They brought their skills and attention to detail to every aspect of the project, however small and were on hand to deal with any issues as they emerged. We had complete trust in them. We can only thank tba for giving us the home of our dreams and we would recommend them without any reservation.

Trevor and his team have designed a beautiful home for us and one we absolutely love living in. We did a full interior renovation and TBA suggested a cost-effective redesign that made excellent use of the space available to us (we always had lots of space but the old layout was very awkward and we never really enjoyed our home the way we do now). Their suggestions for new floor layouts were spot on - bright, airy, aesthetically pleasing, and highly functional. Zeina’s work on the design was brilliant too. She suggested some great colour combinations that we wouldn’t have been bold enough to choose if left to our own devices and the result is stunning. The whole team was lovely to work with and they helped us source and coordinate with the builders (who we were also very impressed with and we’re glad we went with them as the top choice from our shortlist). Our project was also designed and executed during a really difficult time over the course of the pandemic so we really appreciate TBA making things as easy as possible for us. We still have our end-of-contract meeting to go but we’re confident that TBA will help us fix any final issues and address any final tweaks. As Trevor always says, you do need to live in the renovated house for a little while to fully understand what you need from it. Overall, we’re very happy and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Trevor and his team to anyone looking to renovate their home.

Trevor worked at speed to design and support us with an interior renovation that was carried out in approx 3 months (record time given the work involved) and the whole experience was an absolute pleasure. There was little design time before we bought the house, but he was adept at designing on the go. His ideas have made the space beautiful, and it's just wonderful to be in it. Trevor designed us a full master bedroom suite reconfiguration, a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, a cloakroom, opened up interior walls, moved others and designed joinery in all bedrooms. He was extremely clever at keeping costs down - e.g. using Ikea furniture and adapting it to look built in, and he kept the builders on track (who were also excellent). I look forward to using Trevor again as we plan more work on the house and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

We found TBA on Houzz a couple of years ago and so when we came around to embarking on our own renovation, Trevor was our first choice. We were very impressed with TBA’s engagement with the project from day one but it was their innovative designs that were really standout. We wanted something unique and a set of spaces that worked with how we lived and we immediately felt that Trevor and team understood this. We found the design stage enjoyable and pretty stress free which was largely down to the trust built between client and architect. For the build, TBA is well connected and sourced a set of competitive quotes. The site management was extremely well coordinated and we were really pleased with the builders and the relationship that they had with Trevor and team. The result was stunning and came in broadly on time which is no mean feat given the challenging supply environment. We love our beautiful new home and would like to thank the whole team who were fantastic. Trevor himself is a real pleasure to work with. He takes great pride and ownership in his work and was always there to calmly provide solutions to any challenges that arose during the project. Overall, we cannot imagine doing the build with anyone else!

Trevor and the team at TBA did a fantastic job for us through very challenging circumstances with all the difficulties covid and various shortages presented. They communicated well and showed relentless tenacity in following up on every last item through the build to ensure the job was finished to the extremely high standards Trevor sets. From a design perspective they presented us with well thought out options, with original design touches but practical uses, helping us achieve our dream home. The team are good humored and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TBA.

Trevor and tba were absolutely excellent throughout the project. They helped us transform our North London home with a rear extension and loft conversion. Throughout the project Trevor and the team were extremely attentive, always available to discuss and would always take time with us. The teams eye for detail and fantastic talent were the reasons we chose them and we were so thankful we did. Throughout the project they were extremely practical and made sure every decision was for our benefit. They were amazing at helping us budget for the project and highlight things that would be important for us as a family. We cannot recommended tba highly enough. Thank you.
