Architectural Drawings in Ivybridge, Devon

“Woodford Architects provided excellent guidance on the overall concept and architectural detail. There liaison and interaction with the other consultants and the local planning authority was very good. We found them easy and approachable, though also strong enough to ensure the original design principal was maintained, even under pressure from the client.”

“Architecture and building works was something we had not done before and we found Van Ellen and Sheryn easy to work with and very professional, going beyond what was required to make the whole thing straight forward and trouble free. I wanted to convert an old conservatory into a usable space for all year round use. Van Ellen gave very good initial advice about what options were available to us with regards to the architectural work and costs. Then once we had agreed on a plan were excellent at giving us ideas based on what we thought, but added numerous options of theirs. They then gave us clear drawings of the different options and a smooth transition through the planning permission. They gave us numerous recommended contractors, material ideas, and even helped afterwards when the contractors had more technical questions at no extra cost.”

“As a garden designer working mainly in East Devon I was delighted to be involved from the onset of this project to deliver this exacting client a garden concept that totally complimented In Ex's cutting edge design for a large new extension. Masterfully designed to fully integrate into the back of a small Victorian town house, the extension makes the most of an overlooked and awkward shaped plot, to provide a light modern family room and first floor bedroom accommodation of generous proportions. It makes no apologies in its modernity yet, through clever use of materials, sits well next to its Victorian neighbours. Both house and garden are to be a South West show room for this client's high end Audio Visual business that will allow him to refocus his mainly London based work and enjoy both living and working in Devon. It was imperative that the designs for the extension and garden accommodated and complimented the state of the art technology that would allow the client to demonstrate to prospective customers its huge lifestyle enhancing benefits. I have been impressed by this architectural practice's vision, high quality of presentation and level of communication during the project so far and I look forward to helping deliver with them a contemporary building and garden that both In Ex Design & Lookout Landscapes can be very proud of.”

“Some twenty years ago, Hugh became our architect for our new build house. It was a conventional ground floor three bedroom and garage with a green oak timber framed upper floor for living, kitchen, mezzanine etc. From the start, it was easy and pleasant to cooperate with Hugh, and he was most helpful in every respect, talking through our ideas and always giving good and useful advice; what he designed has since proved wonderful to live in! Hugh not only assisted us, but liaised with our builders, plumbers and electricians in an exemplary manner. As we were the project managers of the build, Hugh, with his expertise, made the whole project a much better experience.Over the years since the initial build, Hugh has always responded positively, and with his usual good humour, to our requests when we have felt his advice was necessary. We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone contemplating any architectural assistance.”

“1st class service, fast, efficient and professional. Drawings for planning application were excellent value and exactly as required.”

“We have worked with Woco on a regular basis for the past 4 years, on several projects ranging from bespoke furniture-making to much bigger architectural projects. The guys are a pleasure to collaborate with - extremely sharp, fast, excellent at finding out of the box solutions, and always working with the greatest attention to detail. We really appreciate their design + build ethos, which helps them to bring beautiful fully-fledged creations to life. If we need to commission work, and the Woco team can do it, then we will do our utmost to work with them. ---- Attached a photo of a bespoke basin stand made in 2015 by Woco for one of our project.”

“We had a great experience with Simon from Lignum. As well as being a lovely guy to work with, he was able to help us turn around high quality drawings to visualise what we wanted for a project within a rather tight deadline! He’s helped us think through any challenges and been so helpful and patient with any questions we’ve thrown at him along the way. Highly recommended - thank you Simon! :)”

“Full architecture design service related to extension of detached property and conversion of garage, including drawings and designs. Good consulting service and flexible drawings based on revised plans.”

“We were looking for an architect with a proven record of working with the local planning department, who understood and appreciated the vernacular of the wider area as well as the immediate surroundings. We had no hesitation in engaging TOA after seeing the quality of previous work and discussing our brief during the initial consultation. TOA's collaborative style made them easy to work with across all phases of the project from the evolution of the design until final completion. From the very beginning the knowledge, experience and architectural flair was obvious. Consequently we enjoyed the project experience. Tasked with our brief of opening up our lovely but small barn conversion to provide more light, space and a better relationship with the garden, TOA hit the brief bang on. The hugely detailed building pack made it easy for the building contractor to convert the design into reality. We are delighted with the end result that mixes modern design and materials with the existing.”

“I have used Clayton's service and expertise for over 20 years now and you will not find better, his drawings and construction notes are outstanding!”
