Mike at Home Architecture went the extra mile to understand our unique extension requirements. His ideas were innovative and his designs modern and the finished product exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Home Architecture.
A wonderful, friendly and sharing process as we work towards our dream extension. Michael is always understanding, approachable and honest in his thoughts, he is totally flexible to our preferences whilst suggesting suitable alternatives.
Michael did our plans for a 2 storey extension to add a new kitchen and bedroom on to our 200 year old house.
We were very pleased with the overall result, which came in on budget and has improved our living space immensely.
I needed, a two story side extension, single story extension to the rear of property, Loft conversion and a single story Garden Room.
Quite a lot of work and a tricky project to complete but from the drawings, through planning and guiding the builders Mike steered it all through hassle free, great to deal with, very professional and just a really good guy.
I would thoroughly recommend. Look no further than Home Architecture,
We approach Michael at Home Arcitecture after having spent a significant amount of time trying to find solutions ourselves to the issues we had at home (poor layout, significant unused space, a dark dinging room, lack of storage space) without coming up with a solution that seemed satisfactory. Michael listened to our brief and general ideas, but eventually submitted a project that was different from anything we had considered before but seemed to resolve our problems well.
The process from the moment we settled on a general design to getting the final technical drawings took about a year, but this included the lockdown period between March and June 2020, and felt reasonable. Michael recomm...
Highly professional service. We wanted an extension to or kitchen to meet the needs of our growing family. We are very pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
Micheal and his team helped us to create our forever home with their foresight. We had a vague idea of what we required and his team created it. Taking our project from a vision to a reality.
Thanks Michael
Working with Michael was an absolute pleasure. He listened to our brief in detail and created something way beyond our expectations and within our budget!
I would recommend anyone who is considering a project to contact Michael to explore possibilities.
We decided to award Home Architecture the design contract for a large rear extension we had planned for our 1930s house. The designed drawing by Mike had some design options that at the time we had not considered. With this open advice and forward thinking vision we approved modification for the final drawing sign off. Its now some eight years since we had the extension done and still very much appreciated the input we had from the architects. The rear extension in brief consisted of a approx 6m x 4m single story extension, with
tiled roof , velux windows and Bi-fold doors across the rear to open up onto hard wood decking. I would recommend Home Architecture if you are considering build...
