Architect/Designer recommendations

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Am looking to refurb my flat in stages due to budget and living with a little toddler. We have 3 bedrooms and want to convert a loft space. Looking to tackle kitchen and bathroom on the first floor. However, would like to have the whole flat/space reviewed on a holistic level to see if we can try to obtain a better configuration/layout.


Would like to hear of recommendations of architects/designers who are looking for some private work, or interested to add to their portfolio not giving the standard "what is your budget and therefore we can only provide traditional/standard drawings/feasibility study before even coming around to have a chat" attitude.


I have approached some firms mentioned on this forum already and some have left me not feeling like I should even bother when in the first correspondence they already want to submit a fee proposal before even chatting through our requirements.


I do not have an extensive background of what services Architects provide and I know you get what you pay for. But would have thought surely there are some who would consider tailored, individual projects?


Any other advice much appreciated too.

Thanks

Hi,

I can highly recommend a young Architect we used called Charles Browne-Cole (www.context-architecture.co.uk). We found him from a previous recommendation on East Dulwich Forum. He really has gone further than what we expected for our extension. We found some architects to be a little pushy but Charles really understood what we wanted and he was more competitive than other proposals we received. He tailored our project and requirements to our needs. Highly recommend!

    • Very happy to recommend Paul of Knight & Sons! I had a fitted kitchen installed recently, and he removed all the pieces of the old one. Not an especially easy job, as all the MDF had been sitting in my back garden and was getting waterlogged and crumbly. Plus the narrow access through my house added an extra burden! On top of all that his van had broken down, but he still came through with a vehicle and his mate Steve. Between them they completed the job in less than one hour, and even swept up the MDF debris off the street when they'd finished. I would add that he replied instantly to my initial call, gave me a fair quote based on a couple of photos, and fixed a collection date within two days. No nonsense. Try getting a response like that from your local Council waste management team!
    • Big up for the SE23 Massive!  Good discussion on their local forum (which has become a bit more interesting after being in the doldrums for a decade): https://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14870 The Times article is a bit (trying to think of an inoffensive word) but they and the Standard have to fill their property pages with something
    • What the Overground has done is transformed the demographics of FH.  Plenty more young families and couples.  I love the green of Forest Hill, this time of year Forest Hill is lovely - it is exploding with green everywhere. One of the other reasons we moved here is we didn't want a conversion flat and places like Penge, Forest Hill, Sydenham and Beckenham have a better range of mid century purpose built private blocks of flats - which was what we wanted for preference. Well obviously for preference we wanted a house,  but not everyone has the OPs budget 😄
    • The point I am making is that rich people will always be able to afford better things in life.  The industrialists who took over from gentleman farmers, particularly on the arrival of the railways, hardly made Dulwich into Welwyn Garden City, Saltaire or Bourneville.  Although you could argue the Dulwich Estate did something like this in parts of the village and West Dulwich in the 60s and 70s. Clean air is a relative term, cleaner air would be better.  From my understanding Clean Air Dulwich are promoting active travel and less car journeys.  Clean air for all, and One Dulwich, are principally against restrictions on drivers.  You cannot get cleaner air without some restrictions on drivers. It's fair to ask who is behind all the groups, although I sense and agenda on this thread.
