Sofia is a joy to work with, she enters every meeting with a smile and handles all issues promptly and effectively. She is very creative and treats evey design aspect as a work of art. I could not be more happy with the work Sofia did for me and will definitely contact her again if I need anything eles done! Could not recommend enough, extremely talented girl!”

“Coogan Architects have been fantastic throughout the design process and we really couldn't have achieved the space we have without them. Laura has communicated extensively despite our build being split into two phases (second part still to be completed). Her patience and professional advice both in person and over the phone has been astounding over the last two years. We asked for dormers to be added to a semi-detached bungalow and a single story rear extension. The total extended floor space being approx. 72 sq metres. The contemporary and minimal design produced including eternit panelling, zinc and cedar cladding lifts their work away from residential and suburban to magazine chic. The space created upstairs is outstanding and difficult to believe was achieved from the eaves (2 large bedrooms and bathroom). We are eagerly awaiting the downstairs work to start (AGM Contracts, Paisley) in order that we can fully appreciate all the effort that has been put in! I would absolutely recommend Barry and Laura to anyone!”

“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.”

“I hired Malcolm Parry to create and submit full plans for an extension and garage rebuild at my home address. Malcolm was professional, knowledgable, personable and great to work with at all times (even when the council were being rather troublesome). I wholeheartedly recommend MPA Ltd and have done on several occasions! Malcolm charges the market rate for his services and is clear in all communications. I can't recommend him highly enough.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The rear extension of our property required an upgrade to meet our aspirations to maximise our excellent view over our garden, the river that flowed at the foot and the woods and fields beyond. To achieve this we engaged Emma Ellson a highly qualified and experienced young Architect. Emma produced three feasibility studies prior to our final selection. Her scheme, although involving building some additional space, created for us, on the Ground floor a delightful "snug" with views down to the river etc to meet our aspirations. In addition a remodelled contemporary stair led down to the LGF where Emma had created a Breakfast Room/Kitchen, a Shower Room/Toilet and upgraded the former Garden Room into a revitalised Garden Room and introduced a Study out of the former space. In addition to the new facilities created the entire rear elevation of the building was enhanced with the extensive aluminium fenestration incorporating panels of zinc cladding. This fenestration and the extended structure was cleverly incorporated under the extended roofline to preserve the unity of the building The work was carried out after a formal tendering process incorporating relevant contract conditions re payment etc. Suitable professional advice was sought by Emma Re foundations, steelwork and the like. Emma organised and managed the entire project and met with us at all appropriate times. Emma Ellson BSc Hons Int Arch March RIAS RIBA met all our requirements and provided us with an enhanced home to enjoy for years to come”
