Patrick + Rosie

This wasnt your usual brief given we had bought a mid century ex council house with a cone shaped garden. It became obvious to us pretty instantly that Patrick's design ethic and ideas completely chimed with what we wanted. This meant that we knew when Patrick suggested something we could trust it to be right. We have a lovely 'new' sympathetic to the era home. Thank you, Patrick

We met with a lot of architects before choosing to work with Patrick. He was very creative at the planning stage whilst also ensuring we stuck to our budget and the local planning regs. I would highly recommend Patrick and wouldn’t hesitate to use him for another project.

Patrick designed and managed our very complex build and we could not be happier with the end results. From the very start Patrick provided ideas for our complex basement and first floor redevelopment advising on what was feasible and also dealing with our many changes that we needed to incorporate. Patrick managed all the submissions with Hounslow council and acted as contract administrator taking care of all the administrative activities that would otherwise have been impossible for us to manage. We now have an amazing living space for us all to enjoy and this would not have been the case without the diligent attention to detail from Patrick and his persistence in seeing all the design, approval and building activities If you use Patrick + Rosie for you end to end design together with the tradesmen that they know you will not regret this decision

We loved working with Patrick on our renovation. He understood our brief and we hardly had to change his initial suggestions as he’d incorporated all the elements we’d asked for and more! He also introduced us to our builders and had very helpful suggestions on suppliers etc. He took the stress out of a very large project and the end result is stunning

This was the first time that we have needed the services of an architect and Patrick was recommended to us and we can say that it was an excellent recommendation! Patrick understood the brief and came up with a design that we are very happy with, along with a smooth process - including organising the planning permission, sending tenders out to various builders and talking us through the various quotes, recommending suppliers etc. We asked lots of questions and Patrick was always very helpful, we felt that we got the best advice throughout the build. If you need an architect - call Patrick!

I have worked with Patrick for some 2 years now on a home extension project, from the initial design work through to technical QA support and advice through the build phase. Patrick is very personable, professional and supportive, always happy to help and provide an independent perspective, backed-up by what is clearly a very strong technical background. I would certainly recommend Patrick to another client and would be very happy to act as a reference.

Patrick is a responsive, creative and flexible architect with a great sense of design. He listens carefully, has a quiet way and suggests multiple options. His taste is excellent and he is quick and responsive. He structures his compensation so that he is paid in milestones based upon completion and is fair in interpreting when a fee is due - so you feel you have a partner in building focused on completion and a success fee, not in milking a client. I had him redesign a 1050 square foot flat (essentially 95 square meters) entirely; it was entirely gutted. We moved load-bearing walls, carved out a chimney stack, moved bathrooms and kitchens and essentially redesigned the whole place sympathetically - creating a modern flat in a 1920s block located on the grounds of the old Royal Palace off Richmond Green. In addition, Patrick has redeisnged a large patio and a nanny flat for me, adding a second floor sympathetically onto an 1883 house, and doing it within strict Council guidelines. Finally, should you need them, Patrick has good contacts with an excellent builder (ask for Stevens Builders) and with good kitchen design options, structural engineers, etc. and he makes no commissions on these, but passes you his referral commission if applicable (15% on appliances, etc.) He's an honest guy, and if you don't have your own, he deals with hard-working, preferred, battle-tested tradesmen and is not naive about them - you won't land in the soup.

Patrick + Rosie produce well designed architectural schemes. They have a professional and thorough approach and are a pleasure to work with.

Patrick is a really nice guy and very professional, which makes him great to work with. He did the drawings for our refurb project for a 2-bedroom garden flat in North London. He came with ideas and layout suggestions and was also good at listening to our requirements and able to adapt to our specific needs. Definitely using him again for our next property development project!

We have worked alongside Patrick and his team supporting them with structural services on two of their recent extension and refurbishment projects. Patrick possess a keen eye for detail which translates through into a high standard of drawing information for the construction team. We have found Patrick to be a great communicator with a proactive work ethic. We welcome the opportunity to work together again soon.

Was and absolute pleasure working with Patrick on this beautiful looking project. Immensely helpful and extremely affable chap who's quality of work stood up to the intense gaze my cameras!

Architectural Services We employed Patrick to design and create the builder's specifications for a large (5m x 7m) extension which involved combining three irregular rooms into one and extending out from the back of the house. We enjoyed working with him and found him to be positively creative in the solutions he developed for the extension. Once we had met a couple of time and discussed our likes and dislikes, he seemed to understand what would and would not be acceptable and we were pleased that we didn't have to reject unacceptable options. He came up with innovative solutions (for example in how to hide a large piece of steel) which was great. He was also very professional and precise in developing the specifications for builders - which made getting quotes so much easier and he was more than happy to explain the implications of our decisions. We would wholeheartedly recommend him.

Patrick and Ryan managed our project from planning to completion of building. We are delighted with the result and can’t recommend them highly enough. On time and on budget; what more can I say!

Having lived in my Victorian house for thirty five years and loving it as well as the area, I decided to retire in Clapham. I had always dreamt of redesigning my very dark kitchen by extending it to the side alley and making it a hub of the house for entertaining and socialising. A key benefit of the side return would be to restore my double reception rooms to a proper living room. After searching for an architect for a long time, I was very lucky to be recommended Patrick who straight away understood what I wanted despite my rather vague specification with a long list of requirements such as a bright room with natural light, minimalist but not clinical, practical with plenty of storage while bringing open space, incorporate the patio garden in the design while keeping its current size and a link to the reception rooms. I also wanted to use marble as I love this natural stone and wanted to match my Carrera marble cafe table bought on a whim 30 years ago and to have soft grey cabinets to match the veins of the marble. Patrick's design represented exactly what I had in mind incorporating the link with the patio and bringing more light in the sitting room. He found neat solutions to move the washing machine and dryer in a laundry cupboard under the stairs hidden away behind the original wooden panels giving a very clean line in the hallway as we cannot see the door. He also recessed the fridge, freezer and large larder on the side wall and at the same time hiding the supporting column. Further more Patrick was able to negotiate planning permission for two key features in the design that would usually be very difficult to obtain. Full credit there as we would have lost maximising the natural light and the feeling of open space as well as a secluded green garden. This initially daunting project turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable thanks to Patrick's guidance throughout the process as he encouraged me to persevere searching for the right key products such as the virtually frameless sliding doors optimising natural light, the perfect marble slabs for the splash back and island, the soft grey cabinets that change shade according to the light and the darker grey stone floor that soften the feel of the room and matches the veins of the Carrera. Using the same stones for the patio garden gives a great sense of space and harmony. Patrick taught me to look for details as key to minimalist design and colour matching in different lights. I grew quietly confident that it would be a success and became a little bolder in my choices such as selecting the Louis Poulsen pendants. Patrick allowed me to create the kitchen extension of my dreams that I still keep enjoying living in it everyday after a few years as well as entertaining a lot.

Patrick + Ryan was recommended to us to help with a fairly major house renovation, including extending and remodelling the kitchen space and adding a loft. Having never used an architect before, we weren't necessarily sure what to expect, so feel extremely lucky we found Patrick + Ryan and had a really high level of consistent expertise, professionalism, knowledge and creativity the whole way through the project. Patrick listened to what we wanted, design-wise, and looked at how we used or would be using the spaces to come up with extremely clever design ideas -- including fitting a fantastic bathroom in the loft bedroom space and making downstairs open-plan -- which completely enhanced our thinking. The design of our house is fairly unique in our area, plus we live in a conservation area so this meant limitations to what we could and couldn't do. We were definitely in safe hands -- Patrick handled the planning process beautifully and seamlessly. In fact, the whole process from drawing up the plans, making adjustments along the way and the build were seamless. We couldn't be happier with the end result, almost a year on, we still open the front door and can't quite believe how fantastic every element has turned out to be. We can't recommend Patrick + Ryan highly enough.

We worked closely with Patrick on a full build and interior design project in Chiswick. Patrick was great to work with, a great communicator and with a flair for design. His architectural tastes worked seamlessly with our interior design for the space and we ended up with a very happy mutual client. We look forward to working together again soon!

The guys made our first renovation project a stress free and enjoyable experience. They’re totally reliable, bring creative and practical solutions to the table and are a pleasure to work with. We’re delighted with the work, and would highly recommend Patrick and Ryan!

Great guys to work with. They have a great style and are always on the look out for new and exciting things to inspire them. The finish and detail are great and their service seems to go beyond what you would expect. Definite recommendation.

Patrick and Ryan make an excellent team with a good mix of creative and practical project input. Their professional, can do and upbeat approach made the whole business of building an extension fun and as painless as possible. A great team and I look forward to working with them on the next project!

We were delighted to find Patrick & Ryan. They managed the full project for us, from design to completion. Their expertise helped us to create a functional and beatifully designed kitchen / living space, with a final finish that we would not have been able to achieve if left to our own devices. Their team are amazing! Even our neighbours commented on their workmanship, professionalism and courtesy. We would highly recommend.

Patrick and Ryan bring much needed expertise and experience to a project. They are professional, yet personable and I could not have chosen a better team to manage my conversion.
