“I have known John for several years and decided to provide JPD Architecture with an opportunity to design, obtain planning permission and building regulation approval accordingly. My design criteria was extremely unique with specific requests relating to usability of open plan living with particular emphasis on the unique design and quality of workable details. My development criteria has always maintained the ethos and emphasis not only within desirable locations but the new homes must at all times be designed uniquely, totally individual and uncompromising for my specific requirements. Having over 30 years in the development industry it remains critically important to engage the correct team of professional consultants to enable satisfactory execution of my specific requests. I can not speak more highly of John, He proved to be very helpful and always accommodating. A true old school gent who never complained if my personal alterations to a detail etc was required. John concluded the requested alterations and issued the revised drawings pretty much immediately. Any structural bearing he issued and liaised with my structural engineers immediately. John's son Tim has also joined the practice proving to be a real asset. I myself was delighted with Tim's ideas and proposals especially his attention to detail of the internal feature lighting designs i had requested which was by no means an easy task. Together the project was hugely successful which achieved amazing results. The attached brochure will endorse my comments and sentiments further. Good work guys,I am looking forward to commencing the immanent site initial designs hopefully within the month.”

“SEAS were very professional and worked to a very high standard. They provided us with plans for an extension, they were finished promptly and at a very reasonable price. When they came to see us they went above and beyond helping us tweak what we wanted, to get the best overall outcome. I would definitely recommend their excellent service.”

“Miriam has been a brilliant architect for us. We hired her to design a 3 bed, 2 storey extension. We thought we already knew what we wanted in terms of layout and look, but she came back with a number of really exciting ideas that transformed our fairly mundane ideas into really exciting, but affordable designs. We had a number of difficulties with planning, none of them Miriam's fault, causing her to have to revise key details without losing the essence of what we wanted (lots of light and space). She was really succesful and we're really pleased with the outcome. We were very naive about the whole building process before starting the project and Miriam has held our hands throughout and been a fantastic support.”

“Andrew linked our 60s maisonette to the garages below. Here's why we hired him, and how it turned out: 1. Listening: We interviewed six (!) architects and he took most account of us, our tastes and how we live, rather than trying to foist a grand plan on us. It felt like a creative partnership not a takeover. 2. Focus on small details: Our project hinged on where to put the stairs. Andrew took us to another project, where he'd included an upstairs bathroom in a tiny cottage by moving the stairs. He'd thought it through in fine detail and it worked. 3. Sensitive to the architecture of the house, bringing back its mid-century vibe. 4. Budget conscious: Andrew worked with us to bring down costs. 5. Endlessly patient: Andrew was very tolerant of our questions, changes of mind and changes to the plan. Nothing was too much trouble. 6. Good with the planners: we had no trouble at all with our application for a side extension in a conservation area. 7, Lovely clean, contemporary aesthetic: the result looks great: simple mid-century modernism with a scandi edge. We are thrilled with the result and would work with Andrew again.”

“We bought a house designed by Rupert Davison at the beginning of the C20th and we wanted to create more bedrooms, bathrooms and living space. We needed someone who would be sympathetic to the original design, at the same time sensitive to our requirements. Gelarah Hirst listened to our needs and after agreeing the design, she consulted with us each step of the way. One of the lovely spaces she created for us was the sun room. The en suite bedrooms challenging but Gelarah found room for six double en-suites. the attic space was converted to en-suite bedroom and sitting room, a space which is filled with light most days. Whenever we have guests, which is often, we always have wonderful comments.”
