“SDA Architecture provided us with an excellent service. Simon, Heather & Katie were available for advice throughout the renovation and helped us achieve a home that not only looks amazing, but is very practical as a living space. We would recommend SDA Architecture to anyone looking to renovate/design their home.”

“Architect came on time and listened to all my thoughts and concerns and delivered several excellent drawings one of which we subsequently used to build from and now live in. First class service and very reasonable invoice.”

“Grant and the team at Grant Erskine Architects helped us with the design of an extension to our home. We were really impressed with how Grant took us through the project step by step explaining everything and working with us to come up with a wonderful home.”

“We consulted Sara on the advice of another professional. From the start of the project (a self-build) Sara had a total appreciation of our aims. We knew there was a good house to be built on the site of a dull 1920's bungalow but Sara translated this into a first-class design and exceeded our hopes. She saw us through a difficult planning stage with such diplomacy and skill that the Planners were singing her praises as an architect they really enjoyed working with! Is this a first? Although Sara consulted with us at every stage the truth is that her original ideas were so close to what we dreamed of that very few alterations were needed. We responded to Sara's technique of asking searching questions about us and our life-style and then talking us through the implications of this for the design process and the resultant, final submission was everything we asked for. Sara helped with all stages, working well with our builder and other tradespeople and after her involvement was largely over she has stayed involved advising us on materials and fittings as the work devolved to us and not professionals. This aspect of Sara's involvement was particularly good since we knew that Sara was always available for support and advice. We have recommended her to others and we know that they have been equally delighted.”

“We hired Ian Whitworth of Progressive Architecture for the detailed architectural design of Woodcock House from planning approval through building regulations and the issue of construction and fabrication drawings. He made many significant improvements to the design and liaised with structural engineers and fabricators. He worked to a high professional standard in a timely manner. Ian was always helpful and courteous and was a pleasure to work with. He did an excellent job for us and we give him the highest recommendation.”

“Reid Architects was able to surpass our every expectation in the design of the new house. They were able to creatively adapt to an evolving brief as the nature of the existing house was uncovered and changes needed. They worked in a complex planning context (the house is in green belt) to create a stunning house mixing contemporary and traditional design. OWNER - WILLOW HOUSE”

“Excellent architect. Has an extraordinary point of view perspective, very creative, emphasizes simplicity and modernism hand in hand. Great professional and experienced. A family man, and a good father. Last but not least, his empathy makes every client unique.”

“We worked with Jeremy Poulter on a house renovation and have since engaged him again on a new house project. He is a fantastic person to work with, always considerate and sensitive to our ideas while bringing lots of design concepts to the projects. He took us through every stage of the previous project from initial designs to planning to tender and completion and we were delighted with his work at every point.”

“Greg is enthusiastic and professional and has been easy to work with on several projects. I have been happy to recommend his services to other people requiring an architect/planning advice and they have been very appreciative of his commitment to their individual projects. Greg is passionate about what he does, but most of all has the experience and attention to detail/design that makes him a great credit to anyone thinking of undertaking their own project.”

“I contacted Jane when we wanted to extend our house to add a new room and replace an existing (but dilapidated) utility room. Jane offered a knowledgeable and insightful perspective on the project, and suggested we converted our garage rather than extend, as it could save us money. This we did. From the start of the project, Jane provided a professional and practical service, allowing us to choose from a 'shopping basket' of services she could provide for us. We chose for Jane to provide a light-touch project management role, which involved drawing and submitting the plans, dealing with building control, structural engineer, and quantity surveyor, dealing with the tenders for the job and dealing with the builders during the build. This worked out really well for us, it being our first project and having busy day-jobs. We were kept informed at each step, and consulted when appropriate. Jane had to contend with an unusually shaped roof, which was replaced, raised and extended, together with sound-proofing designed into the construction. She also managed to make clever use of the space to include not only the required downstairs loo, but a shower room, which together with the new music room has effectively created a 'guest wing'. We are very pleased with the result - the new brickwork and roof sit alongside the existing house as though part of the original build, thanks to Jane's attention to detail”
