Studio COeSA
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 November 2023
“Our experience with the Coesa team was incredible. They helped bring the refurbishment of our property to completion. They took time to listen to our desires and expectations and were able to bring the best out of our preferences balanced by their own creative input and knowledge of the different aspects involved in a project (your discussions about sustainability and lighting were really insightful!). They were friendly and professional, keeping us in the loop of every decision. They delivered a design and a home that made me and my husband really happy. I cannot recommend them enough, thank you for your work!”

“Great service from Mark, i would highly recommend anyone considering getting professional drawings for your house extensions to use Marlin Designs, not only did they delivered on time but on budget, Mark was always on the other end of the telephone to answer any queries you may have. I found Mark to be very professional and easy to work with throughout the process, I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.”

Edward Parsley Associates Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 May 2019
“I've worked with Edward Parsley Assocoaites Ltd for many years and have always found them totally professional, great at listening and responding to client briefs with creative and practical advice on a range of building challenges. The value of having multiple professional disciplines (architecture, design and structural engineering) in house can be a real advantage for more complex projects.”
Kasawoo
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 August 2020
“Kasawoo helped us to transform a plain commercial building unit into a multipurpose private office and entertainment space. Through the design of the 1.5 floor layout and inclusion of clever storage partitions, we were enabled to fully utilize the modest floor space. All sections of the unit remain bright and airy, as the overall layout respects the natural lightning from the original windows.. Needless to say, service was friendly and professional!”
DS Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 January 2022
“Danny at DS Designs was absolutely excellent throughout the project. They helped us transform our semi detached home with a rear extension. Throughout the project Danny was extremely attentive, always available to discuss and would always take time with us. His eye for detail and fantastic talent were the reasons we chose DS Designs and we were so thankful we did. Throughout the project they were extremely practical and made sure every decision was for our benefit. They were amazing at helping us with the project and highlight things that would be important for us as a family. We cannot recommended DS Design highly enough. Danny has subsequently completed a number of other projects for our family and friends.”
Raydan Watkins Architects Cambridgeshire
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 September 2019
“We used Raydan Watkins to update a small flat attached to our house. They went carefully through our preferences and wishes, redesigned the kitchen space and living area and brought the electrics, heating and other services up to date. One key requirement was to maintain the ambience of the original, which they did - while modernising the elements that needed it. They were easy to work with, professional in approach - and remain friends, which is not always the case!”
JW Bespoke Architecture and Interior Design
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 December 2017
“We approached JW Design with our brief and an extremely tight deadline which they were able to deliver against. Joe was personable in approach and made sure the design created was based on our needs. He added a lot of value by offering alternative designs and ways of thinking about using the space which we feel would not have been the case with other architects which we approached. This progressive nature and eye for detail went beyond just the plan designs throughout the build as Joe wanted to be involved throughout the project. The return visits and time spent with our builder meant that nothing was missed (and no shortcuts achieved!). We highly recommend, might be more than expensive than your average but the value is there.”
Emma Adams Architect Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 April 2017
“Emma Adams is one of the most thorough, professional and detailed architects we have worked with. Weekly site meetings and same-day information issue ensured that the project ran smoothly and that any queries were dealt with almost immediately. The level of communication which Emma maintained between architect/client/contractor meant that any potential delays on site were kept to a minimum. Carrying out the build was a great pleasure and we will happily tender for any future contracts with Emma and look forward to working with her again. We are very pleased and proud of the finished result. Mark Turner - Benchmark Building & Roofing Ltd”
Dennis Sharp Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Cambridge.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 February 2016
“Yasmin Shariff designed and oversaw the contract for renovation of an old Methodist Chapel in Lincolnshire. The original conversion had divided the chapel into four units. I procured Yasmin's professional help to join two of the units together, making a six-bedroom dwelling with spacious open plan ground floor living. Yasmin listened to my aspirations for the building then produced and modified designs that were contemporary whilst being sympathetic to the heritage of the chapel. She has made the most of natural elements such as light and ventilation. Eye to detail and timescales, coupled with her wide experience, resulted in Yasmin drawing up a stunning design that pushed the boundaries of what I thought was possible. Equally, the project was manageable within budget and now provides a quality of lifestyle and comfort. The thoroughness of her work meant that the build phase of the project went without hitch. I am truly delighted with the finished outcome.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee.
