Space Planning Professionals in Southend-on-Sea, Essex

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Roc haus helped us from start to finish and we can't thank them enough. They designed our dream family home, liaising with our neighbour to get a large joint application granted, which enabled us to have the 4 bedrooms we required. They also helped me get the structural engineering package in place, completed the party wall process for us, recommended contractors and advised on the contract once we had selected our preferred contractor. It was so helpful and reassuring to have them behind us throughout the whole process to make it as easy as possible.”

“Excellent, reliable and kept me informed along the way. From start to finish Geoff was easy to contact and if he was unavailable then he got back to me with updates in a timely fashion”

“" Although we were happy with the location of our property in Southchurch which had already had a side and rear extension over 20 years ago; we had been thinking of moving as the house had become tired and dated. The layout badly needed bringing up to modern standards to make much better use of the space we had. We did think we had enough design knowledge ourselves to do this but in the end we decided to get the job done professionally and we are so pleased that we did call in Lindsey from Hedgehog Designs to help. She listened to our requirements and provided us with detailed and accurate plans of the existing house and several options for both the ground and first floor. Our new look downstairs will have the kitchen, dining room and 'garden room' opened up to become a super modern airy space. Lindsey's ideas for special windows in the flat roof and a large bi-fold will give much more light and a real wow factor. She has also come up with 3 options for an ensuite upstairs which was the other thing the house was lacking. We have opted to use one of the builders that Lindsey recommended and we know that the work will make such a difference when the project completes in spring next year. We would be happy to recommend Lindsey and Hedgehog Designs to family and friends." John & Tina Boswell”

“Great to see that architect does not just mean someone drawing up fancy designs, but rather someone that investigates heavily what is possible and where the restrictions are, and then thinks up nice designs based on it. I can very much recommend Littlewood Architecture.”

“The style is their name. Indeed they have professional style and taste. They are studding carefully every single place to give the best suitable fitting / fixing. They do worth their price whatever it is.”

“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”

“I am an owner of my own building company as well as someone who undertakes work at home. Paul will always be our first choice for any architectural work that we need as a business and as an individual/family. First class service”
