Custom Build Home Professionals in Romsey, Hampshire

“We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation of our home and couldn't be happier with the result. Rachel and Paul are a brilliant team who worked so well together, delivering a project that exceeded our expectations. Entrusting someone with a project of this scale (changing every room in our house) is naturally nerve-wracking, but we felt supported from the very beginning. Rachel has a brilliant eye for detail; she introduced clever touches and thoughtful ideas that make the house function so much better for our daily lives. She even took the time to listen to our children to ensure the design worked for the entire family. Paul was equally indispensable. He is incredibly friendly, detail-oriented, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We felt completely at ease giving him access to our home—he even went above and beyond by looking after our cat when the house was inaccessible! Paul manages a team of highly skilled, professional and friendly tradespeople, who were very careful to make sure the site was always safe for our young children. Throughout the year, it was clear that Rachel and Paul were working as equal partners with us to ensure every finish was perfect, regardless of the extra effort required. They have transformed our home into a space that looks amazing and works perfectly for us. We cannot recommend this duo highly enough.”

“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.”

“Anthony at Dwell Design really impressed us. As well as producing a contemporary design that perfectly met our needs, he supported us throughout the build providing valuable technical advice and cost control when required. We were confident that he always acted with integrity with our best interests in mind.”
