Green Building in Winkfield.

“We worked with John at Stanza Design to build our ensuite bathroom, which involved some structural work too. Would thoroughly recommend, its my favourite room! The balance between choice in design and being guided by someone who knows what they are doing was perfect, the builders appointment were excellent too. Would definitely use again.”

“Martins Camisuli designed and project managed a new kitchen project in my home. I wanted something individual and crafted. It involved complete remodelling of the space, removal of walls and the design and manufacture of bespoke kitchen units. They were responsive to my ideas, creative and enthusiastic. I found it very easy to communicate with them and the works were completed on time and on budget. I think the choice of materials and overall design are warm simple and enduring. I would be very happy to have the opportunity use them again.”

“Paul of Ambo Architects was recommended to me by my builder who praised his detailed construction drawings and problem solving skills. He said architects often provided only outline plans with very little thought on how the design should be practically achieved and that Paul was very different. The builder was right. Paul proved to be a delight to deal with, a very good listener with an open collaborative approach to the early stages of design. He has a great understanding of regulations both planning and building and produced a final design to a very high standard that sailed through all regulatory processes. The drawings provided for construction were extensively detailed with nothing left to chance, when any issues did arise Paul was on hand to help resolve the problems. The project was for a ground floor side return extension with a small first floor extension above. The realised design absolutely maximises both the available space and light in what is a small, and previously dark mid-Victorian house. The contemporary design, with modernist influence, is achieved in traditional materials and sits well with the rest of the victorian architecture. I would recommend Ambo to anyone.”

“He will manipulate a space in such a unique way in order to provide clever functional living spaces. Many can produce beautiful architecture but David achieves this and so much more. If you are ever asked the question "do I need an Architect ?" what David will provide for you, is the reason why you need an Architect. He is also the most pleasant man we work with too?”

“Charles Barclays and his team are simply outstanding and we would recommend them any day. We bought a house that required a complete renovation. CBA made a "bold plan" proposal which we loved at first sight. They tailored it successfully to our needs (children zones, continental taste, etc.). They led the full project from beginning to end, starting from securing planning, tenders and managing a contractor and all third party professionals. At the same time we felt very involved and understood. We feel that the end result reflects exactly what we had dreamt, only in better. With CBA there are no problems, only solutions. Charles Barclays and his team (and particularly Alessandro Pena with whom we worked) are as top notch and professional as it gets. His team is passionate and extremely talented. The team is very resourceful and knowledgeable and could always advise us to keep the project going. For every question they always proposed concrete solutions at reasonable prices without ever compromising on quality. Charles has an impressive mastery of space, light and structures, and offers options that certainly gives a "wow" effect hoped for with an architect. For example, in our project CBA proposed to create double height ceilings surrounded by impressive windows and a rooftop light. That way, CBA managed to transform a dark garage into a majestic and very bright living space. Another example was to switch the parking space with the garden, and so creating a continuous flow between the house, the garden and the patio. The team is very dedicated and passionate and helped us through the whole process (email progress updates with key decision points, detailed timetables etc), from sourcing the floors to choosing the bathroom knobs. They have a strong list of quality/upscale suppliers. The close collaboration between CBA and the builders led to a finalised project that was on time, on budget and with absolutely no headache at all.”

“I have hired Anderson Orr ("AO") for 3 different renovation and house build projects since 2013. All of these projects are substantial but I have not felt overwhelmed due to the excellent level of service and care I have received from AO. Their key strengths lie not only in the quality of their architectural ideas and drawings but, most importantly, in their ability to listen to the client and manage complicated planning applications.”

“Whether your Extending, Renovating or in my case building A New Build Passive House you will be bowled over by the flair creativity and attention that Richard RDAs Owner applies to your project. I ended up with A light Bright Award winning House so far beyond my expectations . All planing issues were resolved without losing the essence of the project and I'm thrilled to Recommend such a great practice.”

“Paul & his team are fantastic. They are patient and really responsive!!!they follow up and are fast. The guys have help obtained planning permission for 2 flats which got accepted first time with the council!!they did all the plans, made numerous changes for us and delivered our brief with some amazing ideas that we thought were not possible. We look forward to working further with you now to help us project manage the build, source the right builders, help us with tendering contracts and protecting our backs with the great advice you given so far!! i can go on and on but i leave it there. Thanks a million. Chetan & Hemat”

“We worked with Sam Cooper and his team recently on a large new build project for which he prepared the full plans and engineering package as well as undertaking the role of contract administrator. We found the entire team at E2 to be both very helpful and professional along with being extremely easy to work with. It was refreshing to receive prompt and accommodating advice and assistance throughout this difficult and demanding project.”

“we asked for the complete refurbishment and extension of our townhouse, including complete removal of ground floor walls and re-build to new layout and extension, new staircases, and amended front elevation. Warren @ DDWH helped us re-design the house completely to our spec and showed us some new ideas in how to optimize what we needed. Improving concepts and ideas such as large master en-suite, new stairway and storage space. He and his team also helped with suggestions for fittings and finishes. We had their help during construction too. Many issues and problems were solved or avoided by their suggestions and discussions with us and the builders.”
