Boot Room Design Professionals in Horsham, West Sussex

“Brian Hoolahan acted as our principal architect as we embarked on our project to replace our harbour fronted home in Chichester. The location of the property was particularly sensitive as it is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our brief was for Brian’s practice to design a family home using traditional materials whilst at the same time satisfying some of the highest environmental standards with respect to energy efficiency and material sourcing - including ground source heating and significant reliance of a sustainably sourced oak structure as an alternative to steel. Further, as a resident of Bosham we very much required that our new home was to be sympathetic towards the local environment, being close to Bosham village and its grade 1 listed Anglican church. Brian led all aspects of the design and planning approval process - which included satisfying the requirements of the District and Parish counsils as well as other authorities, including Chichester Harbour Conservancy. Following planning approval, Brian, through his construction company, Harbour Contractors, project managed the build covering all aspects of compliance and certification addressing architectural matters as they arose. We were delighted in choosing Brian’s organisation for our project and were able to benefit from his many years of professional experience as well as his deep architectural knowledge, having developed many projects throughout West Sussex.”

“We used George and Maria to design our single storey rear extension. They were great from the start, offering fantastic ideas and advice. We were really struggling to visualise our spaces however their methods of presentation and clear explanations were really helpful throughout the process. Thank you so much guys, we wish you all the best luck for the future!”

“We engaged Lee to help us design and build a ground floor kitchen extension. Lee's knowledge of this type of work was excellent and he was able to explain technical terms to us clearly. Lee drew on his experience of similar projects, including a useful photographic portfolio, together with his own imagination and sense of good design, to help us settle on an extension that was sympathetic to the age and features of the house ( Victorian/Edwardian terrace) while providing the space and utility we desired. He suggested we consider an apex roof design rather than the traditional sloping or flat roof. This increase our internal space and gave the exterior a unique and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Lee managed the tendering process efficiently resulting in us appointing an excellent building contractor. Lee project managed the design aspects with the builder, ensuring deadlines and budgets were met. Lee negotiated with Planning Officers, structural engineers and Building Control officers to keep the project moving along smoothly. Lee worked very well with our family and the various building professionals involved in the project. His fees were absolutely transparent and outstanding value for money. Lee was always available by phone , email or to visit and talk through any questions we had about the project. It was a pleasure to work with Lee who provided outstanding service to us and I would readily recommend him potential clients.”

“We hired Sam to help us renovate a very lovely but rundown Victorian home just by the Brighton sea front. It was in desperate need of repairs and was also our first home. Sam and his team are very accommodating to our wants and needs for the home which will double as both a family home and workspace as well 2 holiday lets. It's been a very long and large-scale project and we are very satisfied. Would recommend.”

“A great partner from the beginning to the end of a project. Imaginative design, intelligent use of available space. Know what is feasible and collaborate well with contractors. Great ideas about sourcing materials, appliances, tiles, etc.”

“Iacopo is everything you want in an Architect. Talented, thoughtful, precise, punctual and fantastic value for money. He listened carefully to our specification, guided us when we were lacking in knowledge and responded incredibly well when we changed our minds. He took our ground floor extension from a pipe dream to a design in weeks, his skill set enabled the design to go through local planning at the first time of asking. He held ours hands whilst we chose the building company to complete the work. We literally could not be happier with Iacopo - brilliant!”

“Adam from designed and project managed my kitchen redesign which involved extensive rebuilding and steel support work as well as full kitchen design. He employed the builders. He was always a pleasure to deal with, efficient and responsive. His team of builders were tidy and respectful. Overall, it was a job very well done and I would have no hesitation in using Adam Fahey Design again.”

“We would highly recommend Stewart. We are delighted with our new home extension. He was totally committed to our project and worked hard to ensure we were happy at every stage of the design process. He listened to all our needs and the end result was better than we dreamed. His attention to detail was superb, he kept us fully informed throughout and was a pleasure to work with - on budget - on time.”

“We appointed HAS studio to design a complete re-model of the rear of our house. The scheme involved removing and replacing an out of date and badly laid out existing kitchen extension and conservatory as well opening up the whole of the rear of the house by removing a central supporting wall. We instructed HAAS studio through all RIBA stages from 0 to 5, including submission of planing, fully supporting the tender process assisting in selecting a suitable contractor and closing monitoring the build process. As such they supported us right through the process from developing a range of potential concept options at the outset, right through to providing close support to us in managing the build process and ensuring that the contractors followed the plans to the letter. The support of HAS studio during the construction process was invaluable and meant that every unexpected issue was dealt with swiftly and ensured the original vision was faithfully constructed without deviation. We certainly wouldn’t have got the incredible finish on our build without their dedicated assistance during this period. HAS studio are extremely talented architects with brilliant design ideas, but what really sets them apart from other firms is their extensive real world knowledge of the the build process. This meant that the translation from original design to the final built project was seamless. We could not recommend them highly enough.”

“Thank heavens for Julie Bliss! I was wondering where on earth to start with the complete refurb of my new (to me) 1950s bungalow and making a horrible but huge garage into a fabulous studio. Julie came to my rescue, worked out what to put where and came up with lots of marvellous ideas for the whole project. She was unstintingly helpful throughout, saw everything through planning and was always on hand for advice and guidance throughout the project. I would not have the marvellous home and studio that I now have were it not for her. We had a laugh as well. I really really recommend her.”
