Ciarcelluti Mathers Architecture

We had some very optimistic hopes at the start. I remember the very early costings and thinking, I didn't know the individual items could cost that much, but CMA's budget management was one of the things that worked out very well. It came through almost exactly on the nose. The updates and spreadsheets sent helped keep my non-mathematical brain on top of all that detail. It was indispensable. If CMA hadn't been there, managing it and just feeding back to us, with their attention to detail, we wouldn't have been able to execute such a complex project. After completing the top flat, I suddenly felt incredibly envious of whoever would live there. It does look really lovely.

I am Christian Rauchegger from JCR Projects constructions which was appointed as the main contractor for a complex rear extension in South London. Ciarcelluti Mathers Architecture acted as the Architect and Contract Administrators of the JCT Minor Works Contract. I have carried out many projects over the last two decades so I can say that CMA are very professional and knowledgeable and very effective at contract administration. The project overrun time wise due to the outbreak of the Covid 19 Pandemic. The difficulties and challenges which arose from it were managed very effectively by CMA. The project went according to plan with no cost overruns. I really enjoyed working with CMA and would definitely like to work with them in the future.

"I wanted a unique format for my property and had concerns to achieve exceptional energy standards and acoustic insulation. CMA gave me an excellent solution for the design. It has resulted in comfortable and practical space for living and working."

Ciarcelluti Mathers Architecture came up with a scheme that dealt with neighbourhoods’ concerns and received planning permission with ease. Greg and Daniela resolved a complex spatial puzzle very effectively. The design connected the front and rear rooms while added a new WC and utility space. They managed to extend into a sloping garden and provide level access, a sun-filled patio, and a garden bed that is flush with our large kitchen window. The design considered practicality and spatiality in detail so that the floors were flat throughout the house. As a client, these are the sorts of things that you would not think about looking at a drawing but make a big difference living in the space. The house is much more comfortable now, it is open plan, and the rooms connect nicely. The new openings make it more of a family space. We have a nice fireplace that we now use in the winter. The house has metamorphosised into a much more enjoyable place. Every time I enter, it is a pleasure for the eye to see how everything comes together. It really could not be better. It's perfection. We think it is inspired architecture. And it's not just us. People come here and say "wow"!".
