Eco Homes in Swansea

“Steven was excellent in every regard. Stevens designs and drawings for our extension build were extremely detailed and made best use of the space available. Steven guided us through the whole successful planning application process and was always on hand to dicuss the project with our team of tradesman. Absolute professional and so friendly as well. Highly recommend.”

“Noel, helped us with design & local council regs process for a kitched re-design. From the very first stage he was fully enagaged and sent serveral initial drawings to draw inspriation from and to base the build from. Thereafter he was in touch regularly, including two site visists. Noel has a very thorough knowledge of review and sign-off process which is undoubtably very valuable. I can highly recommend Noel for his experience, knowledge and overall enthusiasm for the job.”

“The architectural services provided by Hyde and Hyde took the project from initial concept, through planning approval, building regulations and construction drawings. The construction was managed on site by a separate team led by an experienced Project Manager engaged directly by the home owner. The building is of modest size of around 180 sm, over three storeys including a basement for storage and the significant mechanical and electrical services. Hyde and Hyde were able to take on board our outline and slightly “cutting edge” concepts for our home and in a very sensitive environmental area on the south Gower coast produce a design acceptable to strict planning constraints; which whilst unique at the time in the area, has become the accepted architectural style for several new builds since then. It is great to live in a home that complete strangers and neighbours regularly compliment us on and has won several Welsh and UK prestigious architectural awards and nominations including the 2015 RIBA National Award, one of 39 UK buildings listed including those subsequently nominated for the Stirling Prize for Architecture short list. This publicity has led to several requests to appear on primetime TV, although we have not always agreed to these for privacy considerations. Whilst the wider recognition of our house has been very welcome, albeit somewhat humbling in the context of other buildings with which we have been associated, this is to some extent insignificant compared with how the house works as a home. Now in our fifth year living here it is very clear that Hyde and Hyde have designed a home that goes well beyond our original expectations, creating an extremely efficient space which completely meets the requirements of our day to day lifestyle.”

“I was worried at first as my husband found the company online and we were going blind! We needed plans drawn up and steel calculations. I must say we are thrilled with the plans, service, timings and cost. We would highly recommend! Thank you,”

“Gave us clear advice and provided us with thought-out options that were innovative. Would recommend and will be using again on future projects”

“Spencer is a great Architect. I had him draw up Plans with numerous options for a potential building project - which I hope the planners will approve (one day ??!!!?? )He was very helpful to get the plans through to the planning portal .....giving attention to the smallest detail. I find him to be a friendly,honest and well mannered person who is highly articulate in nature and design. I would have no hesitation to give him my recommendation. I am a Carpenter/Builder by profession......40yrs experience...”
