Thomas de Cruz Architects & Designers

We have been delighted with the results of our house project - designed and managed by Thomas De Cruz. We had a slightly crumbling 1930s house but Peter was able to see the potential for innovative design and from the concept design phase through to completion we have been really impressed by the whole TDC team. We were also novice house refurbishers and felt very supported through the whole process. They were also excellent at advising on the planning process as we extended on 3 floors. They advised that we were unlikely to get our plans through Hounslow's planning department at the first hurdle (they were right), but they helped us through the anticipated appeal process and ultimately we were able to proceed with all of the features of the design we wanted. Attention to detail was fantastic, we were guided very expertly through the many decisions and choices that needed to be made, and were also very pleased with all the recommendations for other advisers and contractors along the way. We would highly recommend Thomas De Cruz for any project where you are looking for something special, bespoke and beyond the usual extension, and were very happy with the premium service we chose and the support we had for every aspect of the project. Costs were clearly explained in advance and didn't deviate. We think they have been exceptional throughout. Having now lived in our "new" house for 8 months or so we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

We trusted Thomas De Cruz Architects to transform our house from the worst in the Close to the best and they didn't disappoint! Both inside and out our house now has a wow factor and we found Thomas to Cruz to be meticulous, innovative and their experience invaluable!

Peter Thomas de Cruz are the most imaginative and hardworking architects I have ever commissioned. Peter has an intuitive understanding of light and space, a talent for creating harmony between interior and exterior and an eye for the details that can make a design endlessly satisfying to live with. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his team.

We were early clients of Peter Thomas de Cruz in 2002/03. Then he carried out the revolutionary process of taking out all the interior walls at the rear of 19 Hartswood Road. This created a wonderful high-ceilinged open plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Near-neighbours of ours at number 13 followed suit, as did friends in Gordon Road,Ealing. His design has been much-copied since. For our new house in Gainsborough Road we conducted an extensive review of top-flight local architects and designers who could not only address the Planning constraints of the Bedford Park conservation area, but innovate within them. Suffice it to say that Thomas de Cruz Architects & Designers won our job and we're delighted with what he and his team achieved for us in 2014/16. When you boil it right down, Peter has a genius for realising and releasing space to create the 'wow factor'. This makes everyday living a pleasure and adds value to a property.
