Architects in Park Lane, Wrexham

“Have recently used House Gecko for a building project, we found them to be very helpful, reliable, friendly and a pleasure to deal with!”

“When we moved into our" tired" 1920s cottage we could see it had potential, needed updating and the current layout didn`t flow however we really didn`t know where to start. James had done an excellent job for me designing an extension on a previous property( Wychwood Cottage, Oakhill) so without hesitation we knew he was the right person to help us with this project too. He listened to what we wanted from our home and on visiting immediately saw the solutions. He split the work into 3 phases and advised us of the order to do. As we are living in the property this provided the benefit of concentrating on one area at time, thereby allowing better control of our budget and securing the finish of one phase before moving one to the next and enabling a break between phases to restore our sanity rather than having to live on a building site for months on end and the risk of going over budget and unable to complete any areas. The first 2 phases were reconfiguring the current cottage to make full use of the space available. The 3 rd phase is an optional extra : the addition of an orangery which would increase space and enhance the current cottage and wonderful views it affords. We have now completed phase 1 which has most definitely provided the Cottage with the "Wow " factor achieved by knocking the existing back room and kitchen into a light airy kitchen/ diner with a working area flexible dining area and retaining the log burner and chilling out area with sofas. Altering the position of the door to the previously messy utility room has enabled a shower room with toilet to be put in whilst till retaining laundry facility, storage and space for the dogs. A stable door through optimises light and views but provides the option that any mess can be hidden if necessary! It really is a lovely space and so flexible now - all our visitors are amazed at the difference and love the light and airy homely feel. W are about to embark on phase 2 which involves swapping a bedroom and family bathroom. The bathroom will then be above the utility room which also houses the boiler with the outcome of a larger 3rd bedroom and all the unsightly pipework at the back of the house will disappear as all water and waste will be on one side of the building. Thank you James your are a true inspiration!”

“Steve at form: form architects gave us a first class, professional service from start to finish. We wanted innovative designs for the extension and refurbishment of our home.

“Excellent service, Zoe had great ideas and enabled me to design the house, to make the most of the space which I had. Kitchen design outstanding! Was able to add on suite, and main bathroom, and a toilet downstairs, (terrace house) very attentive, and was able to communicate with her , when needed. I would highly recommend this service! Thank you very much!!? Client Macclesfield”

“Bill at SBS helped us design and build a large kitchen diner extension onto our early Victorian home, He understood our requirements quickly and drafted our ideas into design drawings with ease. Bill led us through a very frustrating planning process with CWAC and his experience and patience kept us sane for the 12 months it took to gain permission (without any changes to design!). Bill then prepared and co ordinated the tender process with selected builders and we were happy to appoint the builders feeling confident we had selected builders that SBS have worked with many times previously. The design progression during the build was well controlled and Bill contributed significantly to overcome some hurdles that appeared and help make some further improvements to the design including some excellent detailing on the interior and garden. Overall we are very grateful to Bill for his excellent work in helping us extend our dream home surpassing our expectations”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Osian and the team on several projects and have a collaborative approach to performance and design that brings the very best outcome.”

“I have used Ochre Building Design many times since it started to build residential properties, a block of 84 apartments and a 38 bed nursing home. I would have no hesitation it recommending Ochre and Graham Burns to anyone. Always honest and professional.”

“Great design ideas with efficient turn around on amendments. What more could you ask for.”

“Excellent communication and constantly goes that extra mile. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Alex again!”
