studio m architects

I built a beautiful cookery school in 2007 and Trish from Studio M was my architect. Trish has extraordinary vision, has so many thought provoking ideas and such an eye for detail that it is an absolute pleasure to work with her. You feel secure in the knowledge that you are in the hands of a professional - a professional with years of experience. You feel inspired by her ideas and you often feel that you are in the hands of a genius as you watch her ideas evolve. Seeing a project to completion is a very stressful task but with Trish's guidance, most of the stress is removed. She managed the whole project with such sensitivity and strength, ensuring that the builders were doing everything according to the specifications and not accepting anything that was sub standard. Everyone that walks into the cookery school gasps at the beauty of the space - it's slick and modern with lovely clean lines and all these years later, it still takes my breath away when I walk through the door. It was an utter priviledge to work with Trish.

We worked with Patricia to design a large modern extension to our Edwardian (1895) house. Our house is a protected structure. Patricia listened carefully to our ideas, requirements and brief. She came up with a stunning design that exceeded our expectations. She managed the planning process and it passed without a hitch. Patricia ran the selection process and selected a good builder and team. Patricia managed the builder and the entire team to ensure we got high quality, and delivered on time and within budget. Patricia has great attention to detail and nothing escapes her. We have ended up with a stunning kitchen/living room and a series of other spaces including utility, wine room, dressing room and study. The new additions are a joy to live in - the design is stunning and energy efficient. We would not change anything. We have very high standards and we recommend Patricia and Studio M highly. We have no hesitation in recommending Studio M.

Trish did a fantastic job completely remodelling our home to maximise the space in the most effective way for our needs, and to make the most of our sea views. The house has been completely reinvented top to bottom and elevated to a different level. Her ability to visualise perspectives and sight lines from concept was crucial in delivering a home which has been transformed. Her attention to detail in finishes, surfaces and choices of materials is exemplary.

We have worked with Trish and the team for many years . She always puts the client first , initially identifying the needs , maximising the budgets and ensuring that the concepts and finishes not only emphasise the architecture but also connects with the occupants. As a designer and architect she always impresses me with here 3D sketches . When you see the space lift out of nothing on the page to being in the room , and when the room is built it looks like the sketch.

I have recently completed a house refurbishment project with Patrica Mangan of Studio M Architects. Thanks to Patricia's organisational skills this project went very smoothly with the design and finish I was looking for and all delivered on budget (or as close as you could reasonably expect). I found Patricia's flair for design and attention to detail to be both inspiring and refreshing and I would have no hesitation in recommending Patricia and Studio M Architects for any project in the future.

Studio M architects were great to work with. Patricia and her team were extremely professional, they listened to our wish list and created our dream home within budget. Every query was met with a welcoming acknowledgement and willingness to come up with a solution. I would highly recommend them and would use them again.

Patricia turned a very ordinary two bed-roomed bungalow into the Tardis. Working within a tight space she maximised every inch and provided ingenious storage. She has a remarkable capacity to capture light. Her innovative design reflects her ability to listen to her client and incorporate their wishes in the final drawings.

There are not enough words to say how absolutely incredible Patricia was in the re design and extension of our house. From concept, drawings, contractors and construction to the final completion she was with us all the way. She listened to us, had patience with us, listened to us again and delivered what is now a home of our dreams. We would like to thank her for her amazing talent, guidance, professionalism and her ability to manage all the challenges and changes along the way. The result is a home that far exceeds our expectations. We truly cannot recommend her high enough.

Patricia was an excellent partner in this project to turn a very tired semi with something wonderful. We went from one tiny bathroom and a kitchen scullery into a luminous space with 3 shower/bath rooms and a huge kitchen diner without loosing the 4 bedrooms. We added =/- 50 sm and opened up to the garden. Patricia worked the magic, she is very creative yet practical and gathered a great team of builders, quantity surveyor and engineer. We were delighted with the final design.

We hired Patricia Mangan of studio m architects for a renovation and extension of our period house. Patricia was at all times a pleasure to work with. She was professional in her approach to meetings, always punctual, well prepared and thorough, always following up with minutes and action points. She was a great listener and responded to our initial description of our vision for the house with a number of plans from which we then chose our preferred option. Thanks to her experience in conservation work and planning applications, we succeeded in acquiring planning permission on our listed building on our first application, so avoiding costly delays that can occur at this stage. She also recommended proven builders to us in order to assist us at the tender process. Once we had chosen a builder for our project, Patricia was vigilant in overseeing the project at every stage, ensuring that it was completed to a high standard and pro-actively dealing with any issues as they arose. She was available to us at all times on any queries we had throughout the project and was always responsive to us when we contacted her. Thanks to Patricia's excellent and clever design and her attention to detail, we now have a beautiful and functional home that we love, and that was completed on budget. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking a thorough, hard-working and diligent architect with a really great eye for design and a no-nonsense approach to budgets and deadlines.

Studio M redesigned our house and project managed what was effectively a new build. We are delighted with the result. Patricia and her colleagues delivered our perfect family home. They listened carefully to our needs, and generated really excellent ideas at all stages of the project. They worked close with our builder and the project was delivered on time, and without any financial surprises. Studio M were easy to work with and always responsive, and they kept us informed at all stages of the development.

Can't recommend Patricia highly enough: she has super ideas and yet is still flexible. She has a vision for a project and works to an exemplary standard of professionalism. She was great to work with - consultative, creative, reliable - a real guiding partner in the project. When she made her site visits to meet the builder, it was clear that she knew her stuff and was 'the boss'! But, the highest compliment I can pay her is that just over two years later, the ideas she had - for places to store books; for cubbyholes and clever hacks are still a dream - thanks to her, ours is now a fantastic house in which to live...and Patricia helped make all we wanted possible! I would definitely recommend her without a second's hesitation - and that's how we heard about Patricia: a friend (of ours) gave her a similar rave review and she deserved it.

Patricia Mangan of Studio M has a remarkable ability to liase successfully between contractor and the client. Her architectural and design in put is top notch. We were extremely pleased with her work & recommended her to friends, who are also very happy with their extension.
