“O-RU designed and renovated a period property for us. They had fantastic ideas from the outset, we chose them for their minimal, natural aesthetic and thats how our project turned out. Would highly recommend as they took all the stress out of building our dream home.”

“After extensive research we appointed Wighton Architects for our renovation and extension of a 4 bed Victorian house. From the very start of the process, Stuart impressed us with his eye for detail and aesthetic consideration. He presented multiple concepts, all of which were well considered and met the needs of our family and 'wish list'. Once we decided on the design, he worked very well with the planning department in Waverley despite being based in Leeds and smoothly gained permission. He played a key role in appointing the building contractor and then as project manager throughout in collaboration with the builder. His approach meant that the timetable was kept on track and any issues with the building firm swiftly and amicably resolved. He brought the project in on budget which was impressive given the scale of work. I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and Wighton Architects.”

“It has been great working with Architecture Unknown, the final outcome is a fantastic-looking building that will serve as a brillant Scouts HQ and community resource. AU’s Wikihouse design enabled us to keep costs down by using volunteers for some of the assembly work as well as allowing community involvement in the construction.”

“During our time working with Curtis we found him to be dedicated, openminded, experimental and respectful of our ideas and needs” We found that Curtis was very flexible and able to meet with us at in the day or evenings at times that suited our busy schedules. Following his appointment, our first meeting with Curtis was based around him taking internal and external photographs of our property from different angles and measurements for his calculations. Our second meeting consisted of Curtis producing sketches of our property to explain the options we could have. At the same time he enquired what our life aspirations were and what the family wanted to get out of the development of our home. For example; What were our needs regarding space? What were our requirements regarding storage and appliances? What emotions we would like to have once the work is complete? The questioning was never too personal and very respectful. We knew what direction we wanted to go in but Curtis pushed us even further with great ideas there were sympathetic to the existing fabric of the property. What stood out most about Curtis' service was his willingness to want to learn from his client's ideas. We found this extremely helpful but also unexpected, It allowed us to really think about the big issues but also tackle those much smaller details that can be forgotten until it’s too late to rectify. This was clearly a way Curtis gained a better idea of our physical and emotional aspirations and it certainly worked. His enthusiasm to seek out every detail was fantastic and even though Curtis is young and gaining experience you could tell he was using every aspect of knowledge from his studies. He was extremely prompt with visits, emails, paperwork and general communication - we never felt alone and unsupported. Curtis also made the necessary applications to the local authority on our behalf which was a great help to us. Our third meet consisted of Curtis producing professional architectural drawings which for the first time gave us a better idea of what the property would look like with the new rear extension and new room to the basement. It provided us with a sense of excitement of how our home lives were going to change. The results exceeded our expectations and we were completely satisfied with the service. Curtis certainly fixed a long standing problem of turning our dark kitchen/dining area into a light, easy flowing contemporary hub. He made it one of his priorities to enquire what we wanted from textures and fabrics to the emotional vibe of the home. We found that his manner made us feel at ease from the start and nothing was ever too much for him. His dedication and pride to his craft would make any client feel at ease. Our young children comment on how happy and proud they are of their home and that in our opinion is a job done. We would without a shadow of a doubt recommend Curtis' services to anyone and have done. If asked why, we would confidently say because he is genuine and dedicated to his craft.”

““In the construction industry, it is not often that you can recommend people without reservation but Niche Design is without doubt the most responsive and talented architectural firm we have ever used. “As a developer, Fountainhead Ventures needs an architect that can not only deliver an interesting and clever design but a clear and pragmatic one taking account of cost, sales, marketing and build ability. Niche delivers on all of these to the highest level. “In our role as project manager for private clients, Niche Design has won all our commissions. “Chris and Cathy Hunt of Niche Design are the epitome of professionalism as well as good, honest people full of integrity.””

“From the way Orange Design first worked with us, understanding our needs, revising the drawings, making practical suggestions, obtaining all the necessary planning and building control permissions – through to the way they managed the tendering process on our behalf, approaching builders and then making frequent site visits during the build phase, it was all reassuring to know that we had a professional we could rely on and call on as the various needs arose.”

“Working with PJH Architectural Services on our home extension project has been a great experience. They have proved to be an invaluable source of information and advice throughout the process to date. They act in a consultancy capacity on all aspects of a project - much more than just delivering architectural drawings. As we were total novices in the field of design and build this has proved to be essential for us. From our initial email and telephone dialogue, through to site visits, delivery of drawings, management of the planning application process and connecting us with their industry contacts, PJH Architectural Services are extremely approachable, efficient and responsive at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend PJH Architectural Services to anyone in need of professional architectural services.”

“Excellent service at rates that prove true value is still achieveable. Completed several projects for me without fault. I can highley recommend this company without hesitation.”

“SDA Architecture provided us with an excellent service. Simon, Heather & Katie were available for advice throughout the renovation and helped us achieve a home that not only looks amazing, but is very practical as a living space. We would recommend SDA Architecture to anyone looking to renovate/design their home.”
