3 Best Architects in Calderdale, UK

We used Hawdon Russell on our garden room extension which was constructed last winter. We used the full service of design, planning application, tendering and project management which was led by Rob. We received a professional, responsive service which created a superb design, and a well managed value for money scheme. The contractor that HR recommended to us has been excellent and the working relationship between the architect and contractor worked well.Ultimately we wanted an architects service with someone we had confidence in and could could trust.This is what happened, so much so, that we were happy to go on holiday in Antigua (those were the days!)and leave the security of our property with Rob and the Contractor. We have just made the final retention payment with no significant problems emerging. Hence the review. Keith Wright

We asked Hawdon Russell for a bungalow that would be both unique and practical, we had a tight budget and a small plot of land and it seemed everything we wanted would be beyond our reach - we were surprised. The building way surpassed our expectations and everyone who sees the house loves the design, even neighbours passing by watching it being built said they would love to live in a house like this. We needed outside space to relax when the weather was good but a conservatory was out of the picture, Hawdon Russell came up with an even better idea. We now have a lovely glass roofed terrace which we access directly from the lounge, if we open the large tri-fold doors the terrace actually becomes part of the lounge. Care was taken when planning the build to ensure we got the best of the weather and amazing views as windows were placed to make the most of our rural setting, therefore creating a picture that changes with the seasons when we look outside. Well done and a big thank you to Hawdon Russell Architects.

Even though we have been back living in our house for the last 8 months, we are still getting great pleasure in rediscovering it. When we first met with Hawdon Russell we gave them a rather disparate list of needs and mild building based grumbles. Despite us having a fairly fixed view on what we needed, Hawdon Russell came back with a much more exciting vision and solutions to everything we had identified. The way we live in our house is now quite different from before; probably a good thing because living on a single sofa, eating our tea off our laps while watching telly wasn't the best look. We have expanded outwards to use more of the space, more of the time. Obviously the "box" is a particular highlight, but we also love the big space downstairs (with a special mention for the skylight) and the porch, which is very functional. We never knew we needed two bathrooms before, but clearly we did ... Feedback has been consistently positive, especially of the outside Thank you to Hawdon Russell for their calm reassurance and high standards - we would have panicked and/or let things go. We've already forgotten most of the saga of the metal works and now look back on the whole process as a really positive experience. Thinking about the logistics is probably the main thing that put us off doing the work for many years - in the end, for us at least, they didn't seem that difficult after all.
