Working with Will on our renovation and extension was a pleasure.
He really understood what we wanted from our home, and designed a space that works both for us now with young kids, and the future, as our family grows up.
He is communicative, responsive and thorough, as well as calm and effective in the face of the inevitable hurdles that come with undertaking a building project.
I highly recommend working with him.

Client:
Will is an absolute delight to work with.
His fantastic creative ideas are married with practicality and professionalism, and an adaptability to my own thoughts and the needs of the project.
He has been scrupulous about putting forward plans that met the initial brief and scope of works, while growing and shaping them in a way that enhances the project while keeping it in reasonable bounds.
At a very practical level he is scrupulous about completing stages on time and has been clear about costs and budget.
He is a fabulous listener, communicator, and I immediately grew to trust him at a personal level with a project that I would otherwise have found very challenging.

I’m very happy to recommend Will.
He did everything he said he would. Came up with some brilliant initial concept designs, then fleshed out an innovative, exciting and high quality worked up scheme.
He’s flexible and not precious, which many architects can be. He listens and reacts.
So yes. We had a great experience with him.
