“We were very pleased when Karenna Wilford Architects were recommended to us for our cottage extension and refurbishment. Karenna has been like a breath of fresh air to us. She is reliable, professional and very pleasant to work with. She worked closely with us to give us not only just what we wanted but also made valuable suggestions which proved to be a large benefit to the final scheme. KWA project managed all the building works as we had very specific requirements and wanted to use specialised contractors. They were very efficient and KWA kept us well informed of the impact some of the design decisions would have on our budget! We love our new home and can thoroughly recommend Karenna and her team.”

“What we first loved about Mark's designs was their imagination and vision. The extension he designed for us was on a very difficult site and he immediately came up with all kinds of adventurous solutions. In the end we simply could not afford the optimum version, but he was able to adapt the original design to be closer to our budget and the final result is a huge success, greatly admired by everyone who sees it.”

“Brilliant, really easy to work with, friendly, did exactly what was needed. We will definitely work with Phase zero in the near future.”

“I have recently completed my self-build: an eco-friendly building in the heart of Devon. I was keen to have a lot of input in the design of my new home, but to rely on the expertise and advice of professionals. Studio Werc were an excellent choice, allowing me freedom of expression but guiding me through the unfamiliar process from start to finish. I am indebted to their knowledge and delighted with the results.”

“Charles Barclays and his team are simply outstanding and we would recommend them any day. We bought a house that required a complete renovation. CBA made a "bold plan" proposal which we loved at first sight. They tailored it successfully to our needs (children zones, continental taste, etc.). They led the full project from beginning to end, starting from securing planning, tenders and managing a contractor and all third party professionals. At the same time we felt very involved and understood. We feel that the end result reflects exactly what we had dreamt, only in better. With CBA there are no problems, only solutions. Charles Barclays and his team (and particularly Alessandro Pena with whom we worked) are as top notch and professional as it gets. His team is passionate and extremely talented. The team is very resourceful and knowledgeable and could always advise us to keep the project going. For every question they always proposed concrete solutions at reasonable prices without ever compromising on quality. Charles has an impressive mastery of space, light and structures, and offers options that certainly gives a "wow" effect hoped for with an architect. For example, in our project CBA proposed to create double height ceilings surrounded by impressive windows and a rooftop light. That way, CBA managed to transform a dark garage into a majestic and very bright living space. Another example was to switch the parking space with the garden, and so creating a continuous flow between the house, the garden and the patio. The team is very dedicated and passionate and helped us through the whole process (email progress updates with key decision points, detailed timetables etc), from sourcing the floors to choosing the bathroom knobs. They have a strong list of quality/upscale suppliers. The close collaboration between CBA and the builders led to a finalised project that was on time, on budget and with absolutely no headache at all.”

“If you need design work on your property ask Iain. He did a great job for me on redesiging my kitchen/dining room extension - I now have lots of light and a lovely room to entertain friends and family.”

“We had the pleasure to work with Tim on one of his projects. Thanks to the excellent communication, professionalism and experience , together we have completed a project with success and satisfaction.”

“I have found Archilab7 a great architects to work with. I have found Amiina innovative imaginative and stylish; she has really excelled in paying attention to the details of my project and converting my rough ideas into a reality. I would highly recommend Achilab7 and I look forward to working again with them on my next project.”

“Barry Stott-Brookes of Architects Atelier ltd designed our extension and refurbishment, assisting us obtain planning permission and project managed what turned out to be a very difficult build to deliver the completed works which have exceeded our expectations. Throughout he was a source of calm, sensible professional advice, helping us to resolve difficult issues with the builder contracted to complete the work. We would have been unable to have completed the work on budget without his help and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

“Stephen has been enthusiastic and diligent in understanding our brief and proposing sharp, clutter-free designs. We have been very happy with the service and look forward to project completion.”
