Accessible Design Professionals in Darlington, County Durham

“Stu Kent was the lead architect on our Whistler Vacation Home project. He worked closely with us to make changes to an initial concept design, including increasing the scale of the project by nearly 50%. We found Stu a great listener, taking full account of what we were looking to achieve with the design and not forcing us into decisions we were not yet comfortable with. This was very important given this was our first experience with building a home. Stu also made significant valuable recommendation with respect to the interior layout and design of the finished spaces, working very effectively, and in a coordinated manner, with the interior designer, builder and project manager. In fact, all those related to the project commented how much he added to the project, above and beyond what other architects may contribute and that their interactions with Stu were very positive, well coordinated and significantly beneficial to the overall project. With respect to cost management, we believe Stu particularly excelled in identifying opportunities to achieve cost efficiencies while remaining true to our desired final design. Throughout the project, he would work closely with the builder and other stakeholders to identify potential cost savings or design enhancements. He pro-actively communicates with all stakeholders, including, importantly, the owners. We have no hesitation in recommending Stu for any projects or roles that he may have an opportunity to work on in the future.””

“Wow what an amazing team, the design these guys came up with for our barn conversion took our breaths away. Anthony really listened to us and what we wanted, he spent a lot of time talking to us and getting a feel for the type of people we were and I will say he got it spot on. We are over the moon and would highly recommend.”

“Siobhan of Emerald Architects provided a first class service from design, drawings to Project Managing the build. Siobhan took the time to understand our needs and provided a design which has transformed the internal and external space in our home. Having the complete project managed resulted in a stress free build which I would highly recommend.”
