It is a fundamental ethos of the practice, that the process of building should always be an explorative, progressive and enriching experience for BOTH the designer and the client, taking inspiration directly from context rather than 'fashion', that then gives birth to a solution beyond the confines of the building itself. The emphasis of each and every scheme is to develop a unique, contemporary design solution with the client, exacerbating all options until a collective and extraordinary proposal is reached. Beautiful design should be achievable as a solution to all project challenges. By listening to clients specific requirements and aspirations and thoroughly exploring each potential simple or radical avenue, our practice strives to deliver a sense of place for the inhabitants that exceeds all expectations.

Ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection). - Agree how they charge before any work starts (a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate) and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later. - Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded (the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site), and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07711 383313 - Website: http://www.glenthomasarchitecture.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/glen-thomas-architecture Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
