Testimonial

We found ourselves outgrowing our home in Derby and began the search for an architect to guide us through design possibilities. That’s when we discovered Stuart, and his brilliance quickly made us realise that our initial idea of adding a dining room just didn’t work. Subsequently, he redirected our focus towards a much better concept—a living kitchen.

Stuart, with his architect wizardry, skilfully developed two entirely different design options. These options showcased varying house extension sizes and furniture layouts. Design Option 1 presented a cost-effective, small extension within permitted development, while Design Option 2 offered a larger floor area requiring planning permission. This thoughtful approach allowed us to clearly discern what worked best for our needs. The 3D visualisations brought these designs to life, enabling us to visualise and ultimately realise our dream extension.

Several years into living in our renovated house, we continue to be thrilled with the results. Stuart, we express our deepest gratitude for all your hard work and dedication. Many thanks for helping us turn our vision into a reality!
