Geoffrey Wallace Limited
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Bridget Beckermet.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars18 September 2017
“I worked with Geoff back in 2014 when he designed a pair of semi detached houses for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough; he listened to what I wanted and no adjustment however small was ever any trouble. I truly believe Geoffs expertise resulted in the best possible houses I could have hoped for on the site. His many years of experience shon through and he provided me with invaluable advise throughout my build.. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.”
Red Raven Design Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Bridget Beckermet.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2016
“Red Raven Design designed a whole house refurbishment including first floor extension. It has transformed the house into a much pleasanter and more efficient living space. Darren Ward skillfully created a contemporary design that was sympathetic to the Victorian architecture, using modern design, methods and materials.”
Hubbard Architecture Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Bridget Beckermet.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 September 2020
“This was a large extension to a 1930's house built in the Arts & Crafts style. The brief was to maximise the potential of the site and location whilst complementing the character of the existing building. The outcome was very successful with Phil contributing key ideas for the design beyond the client's initial thoughts. He was also effective in working with our local contractor, being both sympathetic to their way of working whilst being very clear about what was required. He was very constructive during the build as either issues needed to be overcome or new opportunities presented themselves, suggesting options and providing opinions. Good to work with.”
WK Design Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Bridget Beckermet.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 November 2014
“We have engaged WK Design to assist us in the design of our new house; this is a very exciting but also stressful process! We found WK Design to be reassuring partners giving us confidence and choice at a time when so many crucial decisions need to be taken. They are able to listen and reflect upon our design choices as well as appreciate our wider needs and respond with a range of creative alternatives which stay true to 'the brief'. They have detailed expert knowledge but are able to communicate it with simple clarity. In terms of liaison with other professionals they enjoy good working relationships with Local Authorities and other agencies and are able to quickly anticipate and resolve potential difficulties.”

How do I find the best Saint Bridget Beckermet, Cumbria, UK architect for my home design or renovation project?

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.
