“Alessandra supported us with our kitchen renovation. She spent with us half day at Magnet to design our kitchen, select the materials and the colours. She was very careful and detailed oriented to make sure the kitchen we were getting was exactly what we needed/wished for. Important to note that Alessandra is open find solution for what you need/wish for (different from other architects who wants to put their mark and leave their “stamp” in their designs). She did delivered not a kitchen, but what we called a master piece of art - her careful selection of colour and materials + solutions to corners and panels at the top/at the bottom to hide electrics paid off having her in that work. Everyone who comes to our house or lastly who sees our kitchen from Zoom/Skype or Team spots how beautiful it is (not only beautiful, but for us who uses the kitchen it is entirely functional, easy to clean and all sorted). Thank you Alessandra - you made us very happy and ensured lockdown could be easily managed with our new lovely and super functional (easy to clean) kitchen! Before Alessandra - red kitchen. After Alessandra - the modern, atemporal grey/blue kitchen (please see pictures).”

“We employed Christine Peever to provide us with architectural services to renovate a 4 storey property dating back to 1912. The property was in a very poor state and we had no experience of such a project. Christine was an excellent listener to our needs and I felt she understood our strengths and weaknesses as her clients and adapted herself to us both as individuals to create our vision. Her note taking was faultless and she carried out all changes with exactness and efficiency, of which there were many! We also have to thank her for her endless patience during the decision making processes. She pushed us hard to make as many decisions as possible before going out to tender and this has inevitably assisted us with keeping our budget under control. We look forward to welcoming her back to the property shortly so that she can see what she helped us to create.”

“Our conservatory included a kitchen, dining room/lounge with no doors & a plastic roof so we were very cold in the winter. We contacted Building Tectonics who transformed our uncomfortable space into a very light garden room by taking the walls down between the kitchen & dining room/lounge & adding a proper roof. We now enjoy cooking, eating & relaxing in a great open space”

“I hired Detailed-Planning to produce plans for an extension involving creating a kitchen diner and a larger bedroom. From the beginning they were very professional and had very good ideas to compliment my own ideas. They took care of all the legalities and recommended builders etc. I was taken to see a previous project which is very unusual but extremely helpful. They have been exemplary in answering any questions and even met with my neighbours addressing their concerns and allaying any fears they had. The company have visited on a number of occasions to check on progress and took photographs on a regular basis. I have recommended them to others as I found their attitude to be very professional but also very human!”

“Yihyi has helped our family on a couple of occasions, and both have gone so well that we intend to get her involved in a third project. We can't recommend her highly enough. She helped my brother turn a two bed one bath flat into a three bed two bath flat, creating a great family home from a small space, with flair and care - but without a huge budget. A couple of years later, she has helped me update my loft space and create a living and sleeping space that we absolutely love, and also reworked my bathroom, shower room and small toilet - all of which I love. If you get the chance to hire her - do it!”

“Darren & team were very professional & friendly. They ran the project till completion & couldn't have been more helpful! Will recommend... thank you very much Darren & Team.”

“Claudia and Kerem from A2 Studio were the interior and architectural designers for a complete overhaul of a Victorian terraced house in Harringay. Scope of works included a side return extension, opening up of the ground floor layout, new kitchen, new bathroom, addition of a new understairs toilet and a loft dormer. A2 Studio were involved in the project from start to finish, even assisting us in finding the right property to suit our requirements for a home that would feel spacious and light, yet also provide cosy and intimate areas. As a result, our renovated house offers a great space for entertaining guests downstairs, a place for kids to sleep and play on the first floor, and a large and light-filled bedroom 'away from it all' at the top of the house. New aluminium framed glazing at the back of the house was a particular focus of the rebuild, and A2 Studio provided us with great suggestions for making sure we bring in as much light as possible into every part of the house. More specifically, a large skylight in the side return extension was important in achieving this, and the ground floor feels light and open during all seasons, even on dark and gloomy winter afternoons. From the outset Claudia showed great patience and fingerspitzengefuehl to ensure all our wishes were met. She was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process and helped us with design ideas ranging from issues such as kitchen work flow to a suitable lamp for our hallway. Kerem proved to be the detail and design-oriented architect we needed to fulfill our vision. He was happy to come to our work site to supervise progress and discussed all steps of the works carried out with our builders at great length, making sure we would get the end result we wished for. We found both Claudia and Kerem to be very professional, while also being extremely approachable and pleasant to work with. They always found the time to discuss ideas with us – even if that meant adding to or overhauling our initial design scope. We would highly recommend Claudia and Kerem as interior and architectural designers, whether it is for a complete rebuild of your home or a ground floor kitchen extension.”

“Our request handled professionally and in a timely manner even with the current situation. Highly recommended for their architectural and consultation services. Will definitely use them again for any such project.”

“Our professional relationship has grown into a friendship. When our project ran into a problem, Frank resolved it with the Council with intelligence, creativity, and urgency, which is the basis upon awarding him 5 stars. Visitors to our home are struck by how thoughtful the architecture has resolved old and new, and how the quality of space created is expansive. The whole has been crafted to retain the integrity of the original building cloaked in a refreshed result which underpins our enjoyment of our home, and gives us confidence that the investment is truly valuable.”

“During a recent project of theirs CCASA Architects came to us in search of a vintage modular shelving solution which we were able to source for them quickly and within their budget. They were a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them!”
