Irina & Patrick Bourdier, Victoria Rd, Horsham”

"Thank you, Paul, Once again for your fantastic design of our Victorian property. Only as the construction was coming along did I realise how practical you had made the space for modern living. You managed to fit into our design so many features such as a large kitchen, utility room and WC while still maintain the feeling of space. It's also dually noted that you showed sensitivity to the Victorian features of the property which we were keen to keep. I look forward to recommending you to others looking to improve their property's.In fact, I've just past on you details to my brother-in-law"

Ivan Killip - Spencer Rd, Horsham

“Paul made the design and planning process easy and fun for turning an ordinary outdated 1960's bungalow into a smart 21 Century single level living – No mean feat for a project which took almost a year from first meeting to completion of the build”

Helen R - Old Millmeads, Horsham

Our Philosophy - Space

When it comes to your home, size doesn't necessary matter if your home is large in sqm or more than it feels large. In fact quality of "Spaciousness Also Brings A Sense of Wellbeing & Happiness" is ranked as more important than the homes actual size. So whats the answer? Its all about rethinking the layout of the design and arranging your homes, cleverly. Simply - Architects can create a sense that you have more space, through clever designs - Our creative designs will exceed your expectations....

Planning guidance, supervise works on site, advise on contractors to deliver your "Dream Home" simply by using us as your local architects.

NATIONAL REFERRAL WEB SITE'S: Yes for simple services, not to "Design Your Home" they are paid for each referral - Would question the quality & may not even be qualified & advertise as providing "Architectural Services" who will not be "Qualified Architects" Architects Must Have "arb" Logo & Be Registered On Their Websites  (Architects Registration Board)

DORMER LOFT CONVERSIONS & EXTENSION: Under "Permitted Development" no planning required - loft conversion companies & contractors to construct any space with very little time spent on the final outcome or design. Without detailed design/construction/scheduled drawings, your building "Blind" & trusting the contractor judgement?  Want cramped low ceiling, small Juliette Balconies, single bedrooms, instead of double bedrooms, cheap building materials used, bad general construction work , felt roof instead of grp or single membrane, steel beams below ceilings & no flush ceilings...Without drawings, you have no idea....We can "Maximise & Design Your Dormer/Extension" Contact us first before you contact any contractor......We see such terrible dormer loft conversions & extensions, when its too late. We know how to squeeze as much space out of each dormer, extension, as architects, guide you &  ensure the contractor builds to "Maximise Your Design" not "Their Design!"

Glossy websites offering planning/building services with no address, no local dialing code, could be miles away, no design qualifications shown, low fixed fees, promoting 3D surveys - why? Their "Value of Service Will Be Limited/Restricted" Especially when your monies gone & the projects not completed. Websites that advertise as providing "Architectural Services", are not architects, their service in providing simple plans/elevations become worthless if they cant be upgraded to detailed construction/specification drawings. The word "Architect" is protected in law, so, others get round to promote "Architectural Services".
