Eco Homes in Bradford, West Yorkshire

““In the construction industry, it is not often that you can recommend people without reservation but Niche Design is without doubt the most responsive and talented architectural firm we have ever used. “As a developer, Fountainhead Ventures needs an architect that can not only deliver an interesting and clever design but a clear and pragmatic one taking account of cost, sales, marketing and build ability. Niche delivers on all of these to the highest level. “In our role as project manager for private clients, Niche Design has won all our commissions. “Chris and Cathy Hunt of Niche Design are the epitome of professionalism as well as good, honest people full of integrity.””

“After extensive research we appointed Wighton Architects for our renovation and extension of a 4 bed Victorian house. From the very start of the process, Stuart impressed us with his eye for detail and aesthetic consideration. He presented multiple concepts, all of which were well considered and met the needs of our family and 'wish list'. Once we decided on the design, he worked very well with the planning department in Waverley despite being based in Leeds and smoothly gained permission. He played a key role in appointing the building contractor and then as project manager throughout in collaboration with the builder. His approach meant that the timetable was kept on track and any issues with the building firm swiftly and amicably resolved. He brought the project in on budget which was impressive given the scale of work. I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and Wighton Architects.”

“I used Vamp interior design to redesign the layout of my sitting room. I had a rough idea of features I wanted, having gained much inspiration from this website, however I had no idea of how to bring these together. Anna took all my ideas on board and created a design plan which incorporated everything I wanted: feature fireplace with wall mounted tv, built in alcove with shelving & storage and seating meeting all my growing family's requirements. I then received a list of recommended workmen and suppliers, which met my budget. I found her knowledge & service excellent and would highly recommend Vamp Interior Design!”

“We wanted a split level extension to our house, to be built on sloping ground. we had drawn a rough idea on the back of an envelope and John turned that into a fully formed official plan. We would fully recommend John to anyone. He was extremely helpful and explained things very clearly so that we understood the process. He turned up when he said he would, and submitted all documents on time. When we asked for a change to a plan he complied fully. We found ourselves a builder who followed his plans to the letter. Our work is now completed and we are absolutely delighted with it.”

“Northwood Home has completed 3 major design projects which have transformed our home over the last 5 years, each brilliantly conceived and realised with artistic flair, attention to detail and ecological integrity. The first was a major renovation of our kitchen, breakfast and family rooms with the addition of a large deck and a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. They brought fresh and exciting ideas to maximise light, living space, utility and integration with our garden. The second was the design of a small apartment over some old stables, where again their design ideas resulted in a superb, self contained and energy efficient space appearing much larger and airier than seemed possible. The final project was the redesign of our formal sitting room / art gallery which was transformed into a warm, relaxing and inviting space with beautiful colours to complement the artwork. Their communication, patience and friendliness made them a delightful company to work with.”

“Debs is a pleasure to work with and has such a great style. Her design are thought out and practical but also fun. Importantly she really understands what her clients need but gives them that with something extra too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services!”

“Jane helped me reconfigure some areas of my home to accommodate both my business and everyday life. Made the whole build process much less stressful and delivered on every level.”

“Architecture Unknown had the vision to guide us through a full conversion of a grade II listed building. The result is an inspirational combination of traditional Georgian features in the listed front part of the house with a modern light filled kitchen extension at the back involving a bespoke glass roof and window seat. The back elevation is a particularly impressive mix of traditional brick with modern glass and anthracite. The project was immense including full loft and cellar conversions, AU held our hands through complex relations with a myriad of professionals including party wall surveyors, conservation officers and building contractors. Much of the construction phase took place during the COVID pandemic which added an additional layer of complexity. AU were flexible and agile in an ever-changing situation and ensured safe working at all times. Their presence was calm, reassuring and professional. We would not hesitate to recommend them.”

“We undertook a massive extension and renovation project of a 1911 arts and crafts house. We were keen to incorporate eco-design elements and we were referred to Chris Rogers and GTA by our environmental consultant. From our first meeting to completion of the project Chris went above and beyond. Always coming up with good ideas that fitted our specifications. Always quick to suggest sensible solutions to problems as they arose. Always available and an invaluable point of contact between us and the contractors on site. He took us through design and planning permission, tendering, refining the scope of the works and finalising the contract with the main contractor, the build itself, snagging...everything! Our build was between July 2016 and April 2017 and I don't think we would have managed it without Chris on the team. We have no hesitation at all in recommending Chris for projects big and small (and in fact have already recommended him to friends embarking on their own projects).”

“It is always a pleasure to photograph a property designed by Transform Architects. I know from experience that the property will be stylish and extremely well constructed. Conversations with home-owners, before and during photo shoots, invariably gravitate towards how Martin and the team at Transform Architects, listened, advised and provided solutions that were both practical and creative. For those families who are relying on Martin’s expertise in disability accessible homes, this is of paramount importance.”
