Testimonial
“You don’t instruct an architect every day – well at least I don’t. I needed to extend my kitchen and dipping my toe in the water was, well, shall we say not the best experience, people with all the qualifications but fixed ideas. I don’t remember how I found Camilla but it was such a lucky find for a rookie like me. She understood what I wanted and had imaginative solutions to all the problems I was trying to solve. The design she developed, in close consultation, was everything I asked for and more. Obtaining planning permission was a breeze, even when I changed my mind over a detail later…….. And then came lockdown. And I didn’t want to delay for a whole year so the building got started. Although she wasn’t able to visit during that period she was at the end of a phone or messenger if I wanted clarification over quotes I obtained and from then on throughout the build she was unfailingly helpful and supportive. She had a great knowledge of the technical issues, established a really good working relationship with the builder and helped ensure my build was prioritised by applying gentle but persistent pressure. I can thoroughly recommend Architecture Ventures, whether your project is large or small – you won’t be disappointed.”
