Veronica was too busy to help at the time she kindly referred me to local specialist subcontractors for my project that could do the design and build of my dream staircase"

Highly recommend Veronica Congdon for her innovative design and attention to detail while all the time being friendly, efficient and helpful. She gave us many options for a creative approach to our new extension with open plan kitchen/living area, which we truly enjoy and love. Needless to say, Veronica also organised for other consultants like Interior Designer, Structural Engineer and Party Wall Surveyor and procured a competitive and efficient builder via a tender process so that all went as smoothly as possible. Thanks Veronica and keep up the good work! Dr Dana Bezanov-Urban East Sheen

“ A friend had highly recommended Veronica to me when I was grappling with a redesign of my kitchen and whether I should pursue an extension or not. I passed the designs and photos on to Veronica in advance of our meeting and due to Covid we scheduled a FaceTime call rather than face to face and walked her around my kitchen and garden so that she could see the context. It worked really well and was as good as if we had met in person. She gave me invaluable advice and saved me thousands doing unnecessary works, when a few simple interior suggestions and clever ideas that can achieve the result that I was aiming for: A light bright family friendly kitchen/ diner. Thank you Veronica"

Veronica gave us very sound advice about the potential and restrictions of a house we were looking to purchase in a Conservation Area in Barnes. She gave generously of her time to meet us there and gave us very constructive advice about what we could and could not achieve based on her vast experience in the area. In the end we went for another less complicated project and will definitely use Veronica when we have any design ideas or projects in the future and will recommend to our friends.

Veronica designed a two store side extension, loft converstion and internal refurbisment of my property. She was vey helpful in helping to work out the direction of the project in the early stages and she came up with beautiful designs that make the most of the avialbel space and light. She was patience, flexibile, easy to work with and I would recommended her.

Thanks John, it was a pleasure ( and a challenge given that we had future subdivision in our minds) and I hope it brings you much happiness

We are very happy with Veronica’s work. We needed an architect to help us re-design our ground floor and build an extension in keeping with an existing conservatory. Veronica was very helpful and came up with so many ideas. She re-designed the ground floor and submitted the plans to Planning very swiftly and achieve everything that was needed. She wrote the scope of works which enabled us to obtain competitive and like-for-like quotations. We strongly recommend Veronica!

Thanks Sophie, you will see that the photos you so kindly sent me because I couldn't visit during lockdown have made it to my projects. Looks great thanks to your excellent choice of internal finishes, that sneaky Utility cupboard and above all that columnless/postless glass corner! Maybe 2021 will be safe to visit?

I found Veronica via pinterest after seeing her beautiful sketch drawings. I was very drawn to her style and instinctively knew she would be a good fit for our aesthetic. When we met I felt very confident she understood our vision of what we wanted (a sympathetic yet modern addition to a 1970's townhouse). As an interior designer, I knew what I wanted to achieve internally and Veronica got that immediately and was so keen to help us realise that vision structurally externally. Veronica was very patient with us as we went through several iterations of the design giving us time to really absorb the changes as they came. We never felt under pressure to 'commit' to a design, rather Veronica gave us the confidence to decide when we felt we'd got the right one. She offered up lots of really interesting ideas which opened our eyes to the potential in ways we may not have really considered. Her drawings were well designed and easy to understand and she was available to discuss any questions. It was a very easy relationship and a great experience. We have stayed in contact which I think is a testament to how much we appreciated her input. Would have no qualms in recommending!

Comment from VC Design Architectural Services:

Thanks, Bo, it was an absolute pleasure working with you. You were open to some funky ideas like asymmetrical roof, window seat and circular rooflight, but in the end the solution we came to is classic and timeless yet has that midCentury look you do so well.

We hired Veronica (of VC Design Architectural Services) after interviewing lots of potential architects. She was by far the most responsive, passionate and creative option and was also reasonably priced in comparison to some - we still believe all this to be true after 2 years of working together. We embarked on a huge renovation involving a ground and first floor extension with the majority of the internal walls being knocked down too. We’re in a conservation area which involved a complex planning permission procedure which we couldn’t have got through without the expertise of our architectural designer. Another added complexity was that we were trying to make our home wheelchair accessible in an aspirational and stylish way - Veronica absolutely smashed the brief with a sleek curved ramp which doubles as a beautiful feature in the centre of our home with stunning curved lighting features to match. We are very happy with the decision we made to work with Veronica and are extremely grateful for all her help in creating our dream-home. - Attached a couple of photos but they really don't do it justice, will hopefully be able to update once we have finished furnishing and decorating.

Comment from VC Design Architectural Services:

Thank you so much for the generous review Linda and Ade.
It was nothing but a pleasure to help you achieve your dream home,
Yes, the curved ramp/step combo with parquet roundel looks amazing thanks to your brave choice of white resin flooring, chandeliers and stunning black and white kitchen.
May you have many, many happy years in your new home-
I attach storyboard I made of some early sketches and planning drawing to show the journey we came on together, and a slightly better one of the ramp/ step, but of course await professional photos.....
and let us not forget the recording studio that we also got Planning Consent for which will be great when built.

Veronica helped us greatly in designing our wrap around extension/remodelling in SW14. As complete novices we had no idea where to start but Veronica helped us easily navigate through the world of planning, appointing builders, tenders, party wall issues and design - we love the results and the whole project was finished to time and budget. As well as giving us varied ideas of how to make the most of our space she was able to work with our particular wishes and requirements. Our design evolved as we worked through the build and Veronica was particularly good at reacting to our change of heart on one aspect mid project - recognising we needed to change something and then being fantastic at helping us get there. Veronica also had some fantastic recommendations for other specialists which we were extremely grateful for. We have an extension that works for us as a family and the design achieved everything we wanted it to.

Comment from VC Design Architectural Services:

It was a pleasure holding your hand through the whole process, Louise, yours will always be one of my favourite projects thanks to the great team headed up by you and Mark as clients and, of course, the lovely result.
Im posting that initial sketch too as a reminder- I think we did the right thing not having the glass roof wrapping down on to the seat, not nearly as cosy as what you now have.

Having seen Veronica's work plenty of times, it is with the upmost confidence that I recommend her. She is extremely knowledgeable, have great ideas & work ethics and the passion she has for her profession shows in the final result. Working alongside her is pleasure. She is very professional and always keen to make sure her clients are fully briefed throughout the project. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Veronica provided constructive advice on how best to adapt our home to get the best use of space. Veronica listened and took notice of what we wanted to achieve; whilst coming up with other options. Veronica is great at designing a better living space and is sympathetic to the design of the original features of a property. In the future we will look to engage Veronica to take the project further.
