Sustainable Design Professionals in Birchington-on-Sea, Kent

“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.”

“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.”

“Would highly recommend CEA Architects. Very professional and experienced company.”

“Great vision and initial design work that Michael then follows up with diligent and accurate technical drawings and attention to detail. He has a good understanding and empathy for his clients' needs and their realistic budget. Our project is nearing the end and will totally transform our property.”

“I had the ideas but needed Chris's expertise and experience to make it work and also improve. Planning can be a difficult process but with Chris's guidance and advice we got what we wanted. Lastly you need flexibility when working full time and progressing a project - so thanks for the late night calls Chris.”

“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.”

“Could not be more helpful and came up with great ideas all used in the construction. I was particularly impressed with the layout suggestions when I had drawn a blank. In all very approachable and professional service received.”

“William has a great understanding of design and perfectly managed to put our thoughts and preferences into action. We are extremely pleased with the result. He took time to adapt the designs to our feedback, was patient and understanding. We highly recommend!”

“We found Prince & Gisbey through a recommendation; we were looking for a young, local architectural practice to guide us through a proposed re-modelling and extension to our recently-purchased 60's bungalow. Matt Gisbey came and visited, talked through in depth our ideas and wishes, and returned a week or two later with his thoughts on paper. We immediately liked some aspects of his design, and realised the value of bringing in a professional. Not everything suggested was to our taste, but between us in the intervening weeks, we honed the plans to achieve a balance between the practical and the aesthetic that would enhance our home and our enjoyment of it, whilst preserving and adding to the character of the property. Due to the coronavirus lockdown, some meetings have been conducted online, with Matt showing us very effective 3D computer generated images that really help to make the project come alive. We are very relaxed with the result, and plans have been submitted for local authority approval. Matt has moved on to the next stage, of detailing all the services, finishes, specifications, etc and to agreeing with us the locating and appointing of suitable building regs consultant and structural engineers. It is reassuring to have his guidance in these matters. As this review is written, no building work has commenced, so I cannot comment on the final outcome yet. However, we have enjoyed the process to date, Matt has followed a logical sequence to get to this point, and has always listened to our ideas, even if he has had to gently point out the practical difficulties of achieving them! We generally have found a good compromise and moved on. Matt himself is personable and good company, and has taken a close interest in our project. We expect to work with him through to the completion, and would recommend his calm, friendly but professional approach to anyone considering using an architect for similar work.”

“We have used Peter Jackson Architects for many years on many developments from small extensions to thirty plus unit developments, they have gained many favourable and imaginative planning permissions for us and we would recommend them. Their work is of high quality, displays good knowledge and professionalism.”
