Site Planning Professionals in Emsworth, Hampshire

“Exceptional Architect - Thoughtful, Creative and a Joy to Work With We had the absolute pleasure of working with Adam on two major projects for our property: First, a renovation of the existing home, and later, following a financial review, a complete new build for a forever home. In both cases, Adam exceeded our expectations - not just as an architect, but as a collaborator, creative partner, and steady hand through the many stages of design and planning. From the beginning, Adam impressed us with his ability to really listen. He took the time to understand how we live as a family, what was important to us functionally and what we were hoping to feel in the finished spaces. He asked thoughtful questions that helped us clarify our vision and was able to guide us through the entire planning process. What sets Adam apart is not just his talent for design (which is exceptional), but his calm demeanor, clear communication, and genuine passion for what he does. He was responsive, organised, and always willing to go the extra mile - whether it was refining a detail, liaising with builders and consultants, or helping us navigate decisions when we felt overwhelmed. Thanks to Adam, both projects were not only successful through the planning process but deeply rewarding experiences. We felt supported and inspired throughout the process and we are incredibly grateful for the home he helped us create. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an architect who brings creativity, integrity and heart to their work.”

“The professionalism from HD was and remains of the highest quality. Tom Davies provides innovative design advice combined with an understanding of the planning process and, as importantly, the costs of construction. Combined these are highly unusual in my experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tom on future residential projects.”

“Having lost our house in a fire, we had neither expected nor desired to build a house. We did some research and spoke to architects before meeting with three to discuss our options. We chose Alex because he listened really carefully to our ideas and asked thoughtful questions that we would need to consider. He then produced a range of creative suggestions, all of which met the brief and were beyond what we could have hoped for. We wanted a house that would be energy efficient to run and maintain, with ASHP and solar panels whilst fitting into an AONB, yet not be a stereotypical house of the area. As the design progressed, it really felt that his terrific vision and eye for details and style were giving us the chance to build something that really suited the location and would be wonderful to live in. Alex and Jacob were always on hand to discuss and develop ideas and adaptions. Their service and commitment were beyond reasonable expectations and were a key factor in keeping to the build schedule. Alex and Jacob led us through the planning process, which was a minefield all of its own, yet they knew how to resolve planning issues and what was required at each step. Not easy when the planning officers contradict each other! Alex introduced us to a building company (Coleman Building Company) that he worked seamlessly with so that we never had any issues between builder and architect. He also introduced us to unusual materials such as iron sinewave roofing and zinc raised seam roofing with flexible solar panels attached. Alex and Jacob worked extraordinarily hard to keep within our budget and offered solutions and alternatives to keep costs under control. We have moved in now and the house is an absolute joy to live in as the layout works so well. We have also had many unsolicited compliments about the design and how well it suits the location and for its originality. We would unreservedly recommend Alex and Jacob. We lost a very precious home and they have helped us create a home that we can love and cherish again.”
