About
Based in central London and The Cotswolds, our small core team, headed by Stephen Fletcher and backed-up by the broad-based skills of the consultants we work with, offers a highly personalised service. We are always happy to meet potential clients to discuss their ideas and offer out thoughts on how best to make their project a reality. Whilst we have a number of repeat clients, we realise that many of our first-time clients are not used to the building process which can seem overwhelmingly daunting and complex at times. With our friendly hands-on approach, we not only guide our clients through the various stages, but also endeavour to make the whole experience as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterOnly someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK. 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.
