We used Zulufish for the design and planning stage of our house. Patrick and team were very thoughtful, responsive to even tiny tweaks and came up with a number of options for some of the more challenging design elements.
We look forward to using them for the construction phase.

Zulufish completed a large scale renovation for us in Chelsea. The project management team were great to work with, and their standard of workmanship is also very good.
We also worked with them on several items of joinery. Most of the pieces differed in style and requirements, yet I felt the team really understood what we wanted, and they offered some very helpful advice in achieving that. We are very happy with the finish and quality of our joinery installations

We have just competed our first project with HUX and have been delighted with service we received. The process was seamless and the results are beautiful. The team are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and the fitters could not have worked any harder. We are looking forward to the next project!

Hired Zulufish architect services to design the proposed extensive works to our Chiswick house on a recommendation from friends.
From the outset Zulufish were a total let down. Lost interest in the project as soon as the money was paid. They submitted incorrect and I sanctioned designs for planning which were then subsequently rejected because of their poor work and poor attention to detail. There quotes for the building phase we’re over 40% higher than the next highest quote we received so chose to bring our losses to an end and we’re forced to hire another architect to finish of the work Zulufish didn’t do for us even though payment had been made.
Every engineer, architect and builder that saw the work Zulufish had done remarked at how poor quality it was. Our mortified friends have apologised for the recommendation as they too experienced the same woeful service.
To sum up Zulufish are an expensive, unprofessional outfit that I would recommend everyone avoids.

Hi Arman, We wanted to reach out to you with our apologies. It has come as a surprise to hear that you felt this way. We would like to take the opportunity to find out more, so we can learn from your experience and put any necessary measures in place. If you don't mind we will follow up via email. All the best, Patrick

We came to Zulufish after an all-exhausting planning process with another design & build company, which spelled failure on every turn - 3 application and 2 appeals - all rejected. Over 3 years of waiting to start on an extension our growing family desperately needed. Zulufish took great care to understand our family's needs, designed an extension that makes sense for us and something they felt confident would go through the planning process - and it did, the first time around! We are now working with Zulufish builders on our basement, extension and renovation project and its going well. They listen and they deliver on their promise. If something goes unexpectedly off the rail, they will work tirelessly with us to figure out and plan for alternatives.

We selected Zulufish after meeting with a number of potential designers / architects. Zulufish were not only very professional but also balanced innovation in their design with what would actually work at the build stage, as they clearly have worked on many similar projects (and also in the local environment). They listened to our needs and came up with an innovative idea that we would never have come up with ourselves. Our designer / lead client manager, Patrick, and his supporting team member, Lerida, were always very supportive, and had seemingly endless patience with our various rounds of detailed updates.
Another key element for us (particularly that we are now in 2020!) was that they used 3D design and visualisation software, Sketchup, which enabled them to bring-to-life the designs and for us to see them from any angle, including what specific items of furniture and new kitchen would look like in the new space to exact scale. This was doubly helpful as our garden design also uses the same software, so was able to link the 3D garden design directly to the 3D home model from Zulufish. Finally, their knowledge of the supplier marketplace has enabled them to identify and source quotes from the best and most appropriate suppliers to match the quality of the original designs.
In summary, I would highly recommend Zulufish and would like to commend Patrick and Lerida in particular for their support throughout the initial concept and design phase.

Hi Michael, Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience. Both Lerida and I thoroughly enjoyed working with you to create a fabulous design for your home, we simply can not wait to see how it progresses on site and see the completed design. Best wishes, Patrick

We hired this company to plan a hip to gable roof extension for ourselves and our neighbours and were very disappointed in what they delivered or rather failed to deliver. They sent a very junior team round to measure up our existing top floor/loft three times before they could get the dimensions right and our planning consultant couldn't work off their plans as there were so many inaccuracies and errors. Would definitely not recommend.

Since we didn't want to move out of our house to carry out the renovation, we decided to do the renovation in stages. First the ground floor and then in the next stage the top floors. The work started in November 2018 and we moved back to our fully renovated Ground floor in May/June 19 and since then not a day goes by that we don't mention Zulufish and Caroline and how it would have absolutely been impossible to achieve this grand result without them. At first we were not fully certain that we needed their Interior’s design help, but once we started working with Caroline then we realised that it would have been almost impossible to do the project without her. We are so happy and feel so lucky that we found this amazing, professional and yet super accessible and friendly company to work with. We are extremely happy with the work done and the result is absolutely fantastic. We are looking forward to do our top floors with them next year.

We used Zulufish to refurbish our 4 bedroom family home and we are so thrilled with the result. We used their full design & build service as well as the interior design offering. The spec and level of finish throughout the house is incredible, our friends who visit all say that they haven’t seen this level of finish on a job before. Not to mention, they were great with communication as well, everything was very clear and we always felt up to date on how the project was progressing.

Zulufish has recently completed a full redesign and build of our 5 bedroom family house in Putney. The design was very imaginative and has really transformed how we live in the space. Throughout both the design and build process the communication was always excellent. The whole team have been a pleasure to work with, and we are very pleased with the finished quality. We also engaged Zulufish interiors to help us with finishes and furniture throughout the house. Caroline’s sense of colour and style has really helped to create such a warm and comforting home. Zulufish also provided our bespoke kitchen and all the joinery which is a great success. It worked very well having one company co-ordinate all the works and we can’t recommend them highly enough.
