“Martin Ralph were recommended to us to assist in structural calculations and design drawings for a large home renovation. Due to challenging planning issues Martin Ralph really proved their worth in assisting us with new designs to accommodate the planning restrictions. As with all Design and Build projects things are ever changing and Martin Ralph acted promptly updating changes as and when needed. They offered advice and solutions throughout but have always been good at listening to our exact needs (something we've found challenging with other architects in the past). Both Jason and Olaf have acted professionally throughout our relationship with them and are a pleasure to work with. We have already recommended them and will continue to use their expertise in the future.”

“These architects are second-to-none. I am so grateful to Michael for all his hard work on our extensive two storey side and rear extension, with formation of front porch and rear box dormer in association with a loft conversion in Headington, Oxford. He was tasked with doing the building regulations plans following planning permission approval secured by another local architect firm. I found Michael to be extremely knowledgeable, experienced and diligent, and, strikingly, he has a formidable manner with clients - he is kind and has a characteristically unhurried attitude - nothing was too much bother for him and he strives for perfection and client satisfaction above anything else. Whenever I have called him, he has been generous with his time and always available. When he was on annual leave for one week, his colleague, Luis, covered so there was no standstill with the work. The work he did was of a very high standard, on time, and at a competitive rate. He worked well in the team with the structural engineer and builder. Many thanks for all your help with our project. We look forward to sending you photos of the finished building in due course! Michael and Luis also submitted plans for a 'build-over' agreement with Thames Water (TW) as stipulated by TW and buildings control. As a result of Vesta Architects' submitted drawings, TW wrote back that no agreement was actually required and TW refunded the application fee in full, which was a pleasant surprise. Brilliant work, Michael and Luis - thanks so much. These architects are second-to-none and work hard for their clients to achieve the optimal result. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without any reservations.”

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Matt at Fraiserline Architecture he was thoroughly professional in everything that he produced for us over a two year period”

“In designing our new kitchen there were two major hurdles – a narrow L shaped room opening into an about to be built orangery; and a husband who wanted high gloss white and handless units. We invested considerable hours in kitchen design shops but felt that what we were getting would look like a laboratory or a dental practitioner. We decided that the designs were too linear and we needed some curves and a friend recommended Johnny Grey. We met with Johnny Grey and suddenly we could see some light at the end of the kitchen design tunnel. He listened to our needs and wishes and produced a set of designs which unquestionably surpassed anything else we had previously come up with or had envisaged. He recommended a series of zones for our kitchen – reception/home office ; high tech prep area; cooking /informal dining. He combined different English woods with concrete; marble with corian and stainless steel ; and they work superbly together . We love our new kitchen / informal dining area and it continues to bring us pleasure after 18 months. It unquestionably has the WOW factor and is admired by all our friends. It also has fantastic storage capacity and all the modern gadgets. We were very involved at all stages and it was a pleasure to work with Johnny and his team. We visited the company making the units and were very impressed with the standard of craftsmanship. All of his team are first class artisans”
