DEER ARCHITECTS REVIEWS

I emailed Ling at Deer Architects for some work experience as an undergraduate architecture student. She was so inviting in bringing me into her firm! I was able to assist and learn first hand in practice, gaining invaluable experience. Ling allowed me to work to my strengths: exploring proposals through hand models and sketches, unlike exclusively CAD in many larger firms. I have been able to be a part of each step of the design process: from initial concept meetings to developing and presenting personalised design solutions tailored to each clients needs. It has been a pleasure working for Ling and I hope to keep in contact for the future.

Ling combines a passion for great living spaces with a pragmatic and practical sense of what is possible. She inspired us with her ideas and drawings and also helped us to think through a range of options to suit our budget. She has communicated really well through the whole process and we are delighted with her professionalism and can-do approach. Highly recommended.

We met with Ling for a consultation on a kitchen/diner project. Ling was knowledgeable, insightful, and supportive throughout the entire consultation. She is clearly very passionate about what she does, and we really liked her attention to detail on how to make our project both unique and personal to us. Ling gave us every confidence that she can carry out this project and we're really excited to get started on it with her. Thanks again.

FRANKS AND TOMS ARCHITECTS LTD REVIEWS

Stephen and his team are amazing! We’ve loved working on them with potential designs and Stephen himself lifted so much pressure off us by dealing with all of the planning questions and modifications. We know that he ‘gets’ us and he’s worked on our behalf to help us take the next steps in our project. We couldn’t recommend him more highly - he’s also got great chat and an incredible dog.

We used Franks and Tom Architects for our kitchen extension. We went in without strong ideas of what we wanted or what was possible. Their experience in bringing the space to life was invaluable. Steve was also brilliant at dealing with the planning officer, taking all the hassle out of the process. We have ended up with a lovely space, full of light, that has completely changed the way we live in the house.

Excellent service from Stephen-we were really impressed with the drawings which opened up the possibilities of our home. The final results have delighted us and turned our house into the home of our dreams.

PRICHARD BARNES ARCHITECTS REVIEWS

We chose Shaun Prichard as our architect as he was recommended by our neighbours after he designed their extension. He has now designed our kitchen extension and supported us to get planning approval. I highly recommend him as an architect for his design skills that considered our house layout wisely. He also had infinite patience for my many questions throughout the process. Highly recommended service.

I Have worked at Prichard Barnes Architects as an architecture assistant, and have learned a lot from Shaun and James by observing the way they approach each project. By listening to the client and understanding their needs, then design something that not just meet the expectation, but also exceed it. I have boosted my technical skills thanks to their 'attention to detail' attitude. Best of luck Shaun and James.

I have worked with Shaun on and off for the past few years and he has always been amazing to work with. He is very professional in his approach and listens to what the client wants/needs. I am very pleased with the results of his efforts and would highly recommend him and his company.
