“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.”

“We initially engaged ParkDesigned (Edward) as a consultant to explore options with our property. Their enthusiasm and design flair turned a dubious ill thought out previous extension into a light filled, modern and very practical place to live. They were able to manage the whole design and planning process which certainly kept stress low. Park also provided us with recommendations re builders which we followed and they also provided management in this aspect as well and although one or two snags occurred during the 9 month project they were dealt with in a professional manner and too our satisfaction I would strongly recommend them - they are currently working on a new project for me and that says it all !”

“James provided full design and planning for our 2 story extension. He provided an excellent service, his design found a solution to a layout problem we'd been unable to fathom ourselves and we are very happy with the outcome. James was always available, gave excellent advice and won over the planning authority to give us what we wanted. He was great value for money and I have recommended him to friends.”

“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.”

“I was recommended JK Technical Services through a building contractor and could not be happier with the service he gave. From the very beginning he was very helpful and informative, always quick to respond when we had any questions. The work was completed within the timescale given and came in within the inital budget price given which we were very happy with. I would highly recommend Justin and should we need any drawings done in the future we would definitely be using JK Technical. Thanks for all your hard work.”

“We wanted a split level extension to our house, to be built on sloping ground. we had drawn a rough idea on the back of an envelope and John turned that into a fully formed official plan. We would fully recommend John to anyone. He was extremely helpful and explained things very clearly so that we understood the process. He turned up when he said he would, and submitted all documents on time. When we asked for a change to a plan he complied fully. We found ourselves a builder who followed his plans to the letter. Our work is now completed and we are absolutely delighted with it.”

“I have worked with Grahame on 2 large projects on my house. The first was a remodelling of my kitchen, Dining room, Snug and Hall way. These were all knocked into one room utilising many steels all hidden above ceiling height plus a new extension to the hall and front porch. The second project was extending over 2 stories my lounge and upstairs bedroom plus rebuilding my garage into a 4 car unit plus a garden room. Grahames ideas and architectural work plus his ability to pull a job together are first class and I would have no problem in recommending him for any size project.”

“Chris is helped us with a kitchen extension and loft conversion. We were absolutely delighted with how it all went and it was a pleasure to deal with him.”
