piqu

When looking for our designer, we stumbled across Piqu amongst the mass of options. We looked at the portfolio and immediately decided that we couldn’t afford it (obviously guessing on price). We continued the search, but kept coming to Piqu. Eventually we thought that an initial consultation couldn’t hurt and at least it would give us some additional ideas. From the moment we met Adrian (over a Zoom call), we found his deep expertise, coupled with a real desire to understand our needs a breath of fresh air amongst his peers. Adrian was very quickly able to internalise our vision and carefully (but resolutely) guide us towards a detailed kitchen design that was almost perfect from the first draft. His knowledge of the products that he works with (in this case a Ballerina kitchen), was exceptional - coming up with extremely clever solutions to challenges with our specific situation. In the period following the creation of the detailed design but before installation, we experienced a large number of hiccups. Our builders experienced delays, the steels ended up in a slightly different place from the original design and the glazing suppliers threw in a few curveballs too. In each instance, Adrian was able to juggle and manage these external dependencies with his trademark calm and understanding approach. The fitting of the kitchen was an exciting culmination of all the hard work. Due to various factors, the house was still very much a building site but Adrian’s installation team (who were extremely skilful, knowledgable and friendly) worked around the mess and were able to put in the kitchen in a beautiful way. Their craftsmanship shone through as they integrated the “standard” elements of the kitchen to fit around the mechanical and electrical elements. After installation, Adrian was incredibly proactive on fixing snagging, including helping with elements that were actually nothing to do with him, but nonetheless needed to be corrected for us to enjoy the space. The finished product speaks for itself. The pictures really don’t do it justice and we are so happy with the finished product. It has proven durability and quality in the first 5months of usage and we always feel that Adrian is there if we need anything. The layout is frankly perfect and all of Adrian’s wisdom shines through each day when we use the spaces. We have already recommended Piqu to several friends, with one of them starting works imminently. We will continue to do so and recommend everyone here to reach out to him and schedule an initial chat. Thanks to Adrian, Karen and all the team at Piqu for their hard work in getting us our dream kitchens (until the next house ;-) )

Our experience with Piqu was fantastic from start to finish. Adrian was so friendly and helpful, he is an expert in kitchen design and he was so patient with us all the way through the process. All the tradesman that came to our house were such friendly and respectful people and extremely good workers! The personal approach that we got from Adrian and his team was exactly what we was looking for. Our new kitchen is everything we wished for and more, we cannot thank you enough!

Adrian has been a pleasure to work with. I'm an Architect and he has completed 2 kitchens for projects that we have work on - one modern and one traditional. His design knowledge helped create the perfect layout and his studio has a wide selection of materials to choose from - this is great to take clients to so they can see and feel the materials they are choosing. As with many projects there were a few issues to resolve on site but Adrian was very prompt to deal with these quickly and efficiently. I'd certainly work with Adrian again with my future clients.

Thank you, Adrian and Piqu for helping us create our dream kitchen in our forever home. You helped us shape our initial and rather vague ideas into something truly beautiful. Adrian’s eye for design and the little details are unbelievably good. He helps you see and then realise the art of the impossible and you won’t be able to stop yourself falling in love with what he creates. The team who installed the kitchen are also someone of the best craftspeople we have worked with after many years of house renovations. They were the nicest people to have in our home during lockdown and were so considerate, friendly and thoughtful. Their attention to detail is extraordinary, measuring in millimetres to ensure absolutely everything was perfect and just as it should be. We really can’t recommend @piqu enough if you are considering designing your dream kitchen. Adrian really does make dreams come true! Thank you!

We were looking for a kitchen in a space that hadn't been built so couldn't be measured and spent a long time speaking to kitchen designers. Then we met Adrian and the team at Piqu who made what we wanted rather than what we were told was possible. Throughout Adrian and the team were fantastic, coming up with great new ideas, adapting to the changes we needed to make and ensuring our kitchen is the centerpiece if our house. We couldn't recommend highly enough! And a extra thank you to Lee who fitted it for us. He had an incredible attention to detail and ensured everything was perfect!.

I can highly recommend Adrian at Piqu. I went to him with a firm idea of what I wanted but not a huge budget, prob the worst combination! He was amazing - went through every single tiny detail, advised on lighting, answered my endless questions, and made sure I was spending the money where I needed to and reducing costs where it didn't matter so much. He came up with so many original ideas even going as far as recreating one idea we had out of cardboard on one visit to the showroom. He was great fun to work with too which made the whole thing so much more enjoyable. When it came to the build, even though my builders were installing the kitchen, Adrian turned up on the day of delivery and helped sort out all the boxes. He discussed every detail with my builder to make sure he knew where to find everything and as a result there were absolutely no issues. I now have a fabulous kitchen and I am so delighted with it. Thank you so much!

We looked at a number of alternatives before deciding to use Piqu to design and instal our new kitchen. We were having major building work carried out on our house which resulted in a slightly awkward L-shape room for our kitchen and we were struggling with how best to design the layout. Adrian came up with a number of fresh ideas including an imaginative angular hob area (which helped to separate the cooking and eating areas in the kitchen) and a clever use of tall units to help mask the load-bearing pillars in the room. Adrian was patience personified when it came to the minutiae of the design and the choosing of the various appliances and we are extremely happy with the quality (of the workmanship, the units and the appliances) and the overall look of the end product. In fact we are so pleased that we are seeking Piqu's services for some further work.

Adrian was really responsive and attentive during the design phase and extremely patient whilst we changed our minds over fundamental principles. Following that, he and the team have been brilliant in the delivery and fitting and even after-sales care has been great. We are really happy with the end result, both from a design and usability perspective.

Adrian and his team were absolutely brilliant. We had a basic schematic idea of what we wanted in our kitchen and dining room and Adrian helped us turn our ideas into an amazingly practical and beautiful set of rooms, helping us choose materials and finishes and sourcing the appliances we wanted.. His workers were easy to get on with, very skilled with a really good eye for detail and always cleaned up after themselves each day. Best of all, the eight week project came in on time and on budget. Thanks

I can not recommend Piqu highly enough! From the very beginning they went the extra mile, their inspirational ideas, the professionalism, and the support during the whole process could not have gone any better. This was a challenging design and the just got it, understood exactly what we were trying to achieve and delivered above and beyond expectations! They made a difficult time smoother and I am so happy with the results, it’s breathtaking! Thank you especially to Adrian and Louis for their never ending patience and support.

If you are looking for an extremely professional team to take care of your every need for your Kitchen Project then Piqu is the company for you!! Right from the absolute start of planning Adrian was so knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to take our initial ideas and add so much more that we hadn’t even thought of. As soon as the plans were finalised his communication with us was faultless keeping us updated of delivery times. Due to the complexity of our build we had a couple of delays, this was no trouble to Adrian and his team. He was able to rearrange delivery and instillation ensuring that we still had a working kitchen for Christmas celebrations. Tim the project manager was amazing! Again nothing was too much trouble, so polite, so helpful and kept in contact at all times. I would not hesitate in recommending Piqu to anyone that is looking for a kitchen that has the WOW factor.

We were delighted with the products and service Adrian provided. He was proactive, professional, focused on providing the best service and experience possible and a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend Piqu.
