“I'm absolutely delighted with the house, and I much enjoy seeing the reaction of first time visitors”

“Thank you so much for your brilliant work on transforming this house and your meticulous (and always prompt) care in tracking all the mass of detail right up to this culminating point. I'm absolutely delighted with the house, and I much enjoy seeing the reaction of first time visitors as they move through into the luminous space you've created at the back. Universal gasps/praise! And now with pictures at last going up, visitors staying, and the garden planted, it's all coming together, which is very satisfying.”

“Liz went above and beyond in ensuring the project met our needs as a family, while also being sympathetic to the house's history and original design.”

“Throughout the complex renovation of our listed home, Liz went above and beyond in ensuring the project met our needs as a family, while also being sympathetic to the house's history and original design. Her high level of technical expertise in building energy use was invaluable to us, as we sought to do a full upgrade of heating and insulation. She guided us at all stages of the project through each decision, no matter how large or small. She was always prompt and responsive to our numerous communications and worked well with our builder to push for timely and full completion. We can't recommend her highly enough.”

[Liz] looks at what we have sketched out and at the very least makes it work, but far more often, makes it much better while totally capturing the essence of what we were thinking.

“We’ve worked with Liz on 2 major renovations now, and what we especially love is how open she is to our ideas. She looks at what we have sketched out, and at the very least makes it work, but far more often makes it much better while totally capturing the essence of what we were thinking.”

Liz can work with everyone, with tangible professionalism, evident knowledge and quiet assurance, building trust with the planners, the builder, the clients.

“From the outset, Liz showed an empathy with us as clients, intuitively identifying what we wanted and an empathy with our turn of the 19th century cottage. She knew what we were thinking before we expressed it. Liz can work with everyone, with tangible professionalism, evident knowledge and quiet assurance, building trust with the planners, the builder, the clients. Always available for telephone calls, zoom conference to both client and builder, she managed the long distance relationship as if she was here all the time.”

“Liz was an invaluable guide, navigating us through complex discussions with suppliers and contractors.”

We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found Liz. Having lived in our home for twenty years while raising a family, the property had begun to feel somewhat tired and was in need of a comprehensive update. Liz has truly transformed the space.

Beyond the aesthetic improvements, she has significantly enhanced the building’s performance; the house is now far better insulated, which has led to a substantial reduction in our heating bills. Furthermore, she has turned our kitchen and bathroom into absolute gems. We find genuine pleasure in these spaces every day. Throughout the process, Liz was an invaluable guide, navigating us through complex discussions with suppliers and contractors. She was always attentive to our requirements, ensuring she listened to our concerns and took the time to respond thoroughly to our questions. We highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a dedicated and thoughtful architect.

“Liz was brilliant to work with”

“Liz was brilliant to work with. She quickly got to grips with a complex listed building project, wasn’t afraid to tell us when we were wrong, and dealt with heritage and planning stakeholders firmly and effectively. Great drawings, great judgement, and someone I’ll definitely work with again.”
