Sustainable Design Professionals in Bolsover, Derbyshire

“We used LSO architects approximately 3 years ago after we bought a 3 Bed Semi and wanted to significantly develop it. Debbie Hoare at LSO took my domestic ideas and developed them in a way a could never have imagined. I found her to be very professional and excellent at offering practical and workable solutions. We loved our home and are using LSO again on our next project. Highly recommended.”

“We desperately needed advice about planning and I called Sue, who was absolutely amazing with professional advice and support. She listed criteria and how and who to approach about our cornerns. Highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely use and recommend Ecclesall Designs to friends and family in the future.”

“Brightman Clarke have provided professional services for us on a number of traditional and contemporary design projects, ranging from new build housing developments to individual contemporary extensions and refurbishments. When dealing with Brightman Clarke we have always received a friendly, customer focused approach with a genuine desire to understand the complex needs of our project taking account of our budget and timescale.”

“We used this company to help us remodel a tired 1930's house with lots of small dark rooms into a stunning bright and airy modern home. Their vision was fantastic adding a full height front extension to bring the stairs out of the central footprint, creating extra space and bringing light to the previously dark front spaces. This created a full height entrance hall and helped give us two extra rooms in a previously small attic space. Internally they tied all the spaces together with clever design features giving us a house where every space is used and the house is quite literally a joy to live in! They persuaded us to invest in making the external envelope as air tight and well insulated as possible and fit an MVHR system. Initially we were very sceptical but are now delighted with the thermal performance of the house both in summer and winter. They were thoroughly professional throughout dealing positively and practically with the inevitable challenges along the way. Our contractor had never done anything like this before and they supported him technically when necessary. Their clever design and attention to detail added significantly to the value of the finished property and we could never have achieved this on our own.”

“Marcus was the first person we called after purchasing our land. He was recommended to us from a friend and he didn’t disappoint. He spent many hours listening to our brief and what we would like to achieve. After a rough ride with planning he stuck with us throughout and the end design was amazing. He helped us adapt the design to please the planners as well as retaining our vision which was no mean task. The construction design was pretty much spot on which allowed our builder to do a pretty dam good job. The project isn’t quite finished yet. We are weather tight and now working on the inside. I have no hesitation in recommending Marcus!”

“JLK Architectural Design was recommended by friends who spoke very highly of Julia and her team. We invited Julia to quote for us to design a side extension and obtain all the planning permissions etc. Upon meeting her, my wife and I both felt that she was the right architect for our project. Very friendly, professional and full of great ideas. She was patient with us as we deliberated over various aspects of the design and gave invaluable advice and support in arriving at our final plan. We have no hesitation in recommending Julia and feel she went above and beyond our expectations. Thanks again.”

“Andy is thoughtful, helpful, and thorough, a true professional. He helped us build a glulam timber frame extension together with various renovations. Budget circa 80,000. Very happy with the result.”

“Nathan listened and sought to understand our wishes from the initial meeting and then worked with us to produce a design that fully realised our goals. Our final plans incorporated many of Nathan's innovative eco-friendly suggestions and 3D images which enhanced our original vision. His preparation was very thorough and he produced highly detailed drawings, enabling us to go to builders with confidence. We would highly recommend Ikonografik Design.”

“I’ve worked with this company a few times now and have been thrilled with all aspects of our dealings. We have had both basement conversion plans done (with building regs all sorted for us etc) and have had a ground floor extension planned, built and supported by the team. We’ve been so happy with the results of our extension and the space really has maximised our space and transformed our home. We found Spencer brilliant to work with. He’s always gotten to know exactly what we are looking to achieve and has listened to my crazy ideas, but then always come up with a way to achieve them (or he’s often come up with far better alternatives!) We’ve also had support from the company in the form of party wall representation when there was building work next to our house and this was a great comfort to know there was someone who took time to get to know our house so well and was there to ensure we remained protected throughout the experience. I really would highly recommend to anyone.”

“They provide a very personal service. Very keen on the detail and excellent knowledge of the planning application process and how to obtain the best results. My applications for an extension and new build were successful thanks to their expertise despite many local objections. Overall an excellent result. Very satisfied.”
