Architects in Ardentinny, Argyll and Bute

“We’re fantastic start to finish - really understanding and understood our somewhat scrambled brief straight away. Made themselves available to discuss the project with my contractors throughout and help make sure the project was successful. Easy decision to recommend and will be using again for my next project.”

“Elisabetta has been great to work with and very quick to turnaround our project ideas. I would be pleased to work with her again and have no hesitation in recommending her for future projects.”

“Without any knowledge of this company other than online information,I tasked Karen to look at development possibilities for my 200 year old cottage. I did not want to move house though the cottage was just too small for my extending family. The resultant design that was approved by the local authority exceeded my wildest dreams and I solely put this down to Karen and her team's design talent and total perseverance. We really are indebted to her for what she achieved. I cannot thank Karen enough. She is also highly professional, focussed and very disciplined in terms of timescales and meeting deadlines. Clearly, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.”

“paterson gordon architecture was recommended to us by friends who were part way through their own project. The plans for that inspired us hire Elaine for our own project. Looking back on the whole experience we just would not have been able to achieve the amazing results we have without Elaine's vision and support. Firstly, with regard to design Elaine did what I guess all very good architects do which is to give you both what you want alongside what you didn't know you wanted (or could achieve) in the first place. We fell in love with the design almost immediately. Secondly, the generation of the specification and tender meant we got the look and feel we wanted but within the budget available. Thirdly, the selection of a contractor was part of the process I wasn't looking forward to but Elaine handled this process very professionally, meeting builders with us and supporting the final decision. Finally, and by no means least, was the project management side of the business. Elaine was on site regularly and dealt with any of the inevitable delays and (thankfully minor) issues with calmness and professionalism, this was greatly appreciated by us and our contractor. I would wholeheartedly recommend paterson gordon architecture to anyone looking for a contemporary, beautiful and practical extension - we could not be happier with the end result.”

“Emma was on the ball and organised right from the word go. She gave me lots of ideas for my kitchen/ diner and decking layout and was on hand to guide us through the building and planning application processes. Really excellent architect and excellent customer service. We are so happy with the finished result!”

“I hired Thomas Robinson Architects (TRA) to design and project-manage an accessible extension and internal alterations for a residential listed building. The initial design idea was what inspired me to engage them further - it respected the original building but was very much a design element in its own right, being modern and yet classical at the same time. We established a programme of regular meetings throughout the design, planning application and building warrant processes and my thoughts and ideas were worked in wherever possible. TRA oversaw the tender process and appointment of a contractor and established monthly site meetings throughout the contract. Careful minuting of the meetings allowed issues to be followed through from month to month. Any issues with the contractor were dealt with timeously and there was a detailed approach to final snagging to ensure good quality finishes. Importantly the budget was very well managed, with some items being altered or removed to ensure it wasn't exceeded and this was done without detriment to the overall project. I felt confident in TRA to protect my interests throughout the project which dissipated any potential stressful situations. The finished house extension and alterations have exceeded all of my expectations - the internal space and views out are equally as impressive as the exterior. As a very satisfied client, I would have no hesitation in recommending TRA as a talented, attentive and highly professional company and would use them again if the situation arose.”

“Krebbel helped redesign the interior of my bungalow, opening up the kitchen and creating a new bathroom/wet room within the existing floorplan. Very pleased with both the design process and the finished result. I'm still admiring it nearly three years on!”

“Excellent, knowledgeable, attentive and friendly yet professional team. Marcelo and Katie know their stuff and work hard to deliver for each and every client, big or small.”

“Amanda has provided an above and beyond service right from the outset. Working tirelessly to ensure that our design requests were both compatible with regulations stipulated and yet achieving all we wanted from the build. Keeping a keen eye on the detail throughout the project left us feeling confident and she was incredibly responsive to any queries which were raised. Amanda provides a very friendly and hugely professional service, and is worth every penny of her highly competitive fees! We chose A-Cubed Design through recommendation and I have no concern with now recommending her to others!”

“Robert Johnston was recommended to us by friends and business associates and therefore we expected great things. I am delighted to say we were not disappointed. RObert and his wife Anika were instrumental in assisting and advising us on the substantial home improvements we have now completed. His design skills aligned to practical suggestions and applications have proven invaluable. He worked expertly with our builder and this lead to an all together painless process. Any wrinkles we did find or that were created were worked through and ironed out without any stress. Robert has an expert working knowledge of the local planning laws and processes that came in handy too! We continue to have contact with Robert and are delighted to recommend his services. As nervous first time developers we couldn't have been in better hands.”
