Basement Conversion Professionals in Leysdown-on-Sea, Kent

“I commissioned Ben to work on my ambitious extension project based on a very positive referral from a friend who had previously commissioned him. Ben immediately added value by identifying opportunities and enhancing the ambition and design of what I had in mind, whilst being responsible with the budget. Ben is a consummate professional, highly creative with a very thorough approach to the project that inspires confidence. Would highly recommend for any project size and complexity.”

“After a frustrating couple of years having several planning applications rejected we sought advice from the person who lived in a contemporary house we had often admired. It turned out that this was Matthew Wintersgill of W & M Architects. He went on to analyse the reasons why our applications had failed and we immediately felt he understood our requirements and how to have the design accepted by the local planning authorities. We therefore asked Matthew to design our house and he fortunately agreed. On completion we immediately won the Civic Society award and we remain delighted with the light, airy, low energy spaces that Matthew has created and considerate ourselves very fortunate to live in such a beautiful house.”

“Imaginative, constructive and professional all the way from initial consultation through drawings and dealing with the council to gaining planning permission. A pleasure do business with.”

“Having been refused planning twice, I have referred to Bruno of BMac Studio who was able to gain planning permission with the assistance of a pre-application which was not advise or deem necessary by the previous architect. I went on to use Bruno on my rental property and would highly recommend his services.”

“Extremely pleased with the service we received from James at New World Designers Ltd. He couldn't have been more helpful, visiting us on numerous occasions to discuss what we wanted, offering ideas and suggestions and saying what was or wasn't possible. He also kept in regular contact throughout the whole process to keep us informed of what was happening. We will definitely be using them again and can't recommend them highly enough.”

“Anthro Architecture designed and project managed our new build family home to the highest of standards. John was easy to work with and implemented our requirements effectively while keeping the design refined and contemporary. The end result was a magnificent bright home with plenty of subtle architectural detailing that would not have been achieved without John's advice. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend this firm.”

“Having decided to extend our cottage, which has a Grade 2 listing attached, we knew we would need to get an experienced architect who had the knowledge and expertise in dealing with the local English Heritage Planning Department. Cheryl Appleby from Appleby Blanco designed our project and without her expertise and excellent communications, as well as working alongside with a Listed Planning Consultant, our project may never have got off the ground. It’s transformed our home and has given us the extra rooms we never thought possible. Thank you”

“On behalf of Space Invaders Loft Conversions Ltd. Scott provides a very professional service and has had a great working relationship with the business for many years now giving us a platform to operate efficiently both in the preparation and on site construction phases of our projects. Essan-K are the only company we would recommend for any design services required.”

“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.”

“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.”
