Laura is very detailed and goes extra mile. Her consultation has been very helpful.
We had an excellent initial consultation with Laura who took us very clearly and carefully through the process. She provided quotes for the services which were very helpful and we were very pleased with the advice she provided.
Laura has given us some fantastic advice and we hope to take things further with her if we secure the property we were discussing. Well informed, with some great ideas. Thanks!
Contacted Laura for a potential full renovation of a 2-bed flat in London (re-designing interior layout, up to RIBA 4 stage, etc.).
Since our first exchange, Laura stood up from the crowd as being extremely competent, professional, dedicated, thorough/meticolous and very organised/structured.
I ended up not contracting out the work, but i will definitely re-contact Laura in the future for any new job.
Laura was super quick to get back to me, and explained her process thoroughly, providing a quote and advice within a day! I very much look forward to working with her on my project.
Laura has been helping us through the very initial stages of our project and I have to say she is extremely diligent and hard working, focussing on every detail and aspect of the project when so many things about our property purchase are up in the air. We are very grateful for all the work she has done in just the introductory sessions.
Laura was really helpful and very responsive. She took time to research our property and provided lots of initial ideas and sketches.
Even when we decided to go in a different direction, Laura still offered some guidance about things to look out for in our project going forward.
Laura was incredibly knowledgeable, personable and honest when it came to us discussing our full scale renovation project with her. What we particularly loved was Laura’s eye for intricate detail and wonderful uses of space within our property. Laura’s expertise not only left us with a much better idea of what to do with the most important aspects of our prospective home, but also gave us some unique ideas we had not seen before in terms of how to tactically hide guttering from eyesight, and how to add personal touches to otherwise unutilised space, such as including reading nooks within our property. Laura’s ability to communicate how she would act upon our brief, and ability to show us her ideas in real time, was a fantastic help to us and made for a very impressive initial discussion. Laura is clearly a consummate professional, which was evident throughout our discussions with her. Anyone considering an architect can take comfort from the knowledge that they are with a safe pair of hands with an expert eye for detail in Laura.
Rear extension
I was very impressed with Laura’s design skills and attention to detail. She provided aesthetically pleasing, functional, and efficient designs that met my needs.
I would definitely work with Laura again in the future and would highly recommend her to others!
Kitchen extension
Laura was knowledgeable, personable and really took the time to listen. She provided excellent advice, and effectively steered the conversation from my idea in my head to practical thinking about the extension. I really liked Laura and highly recommend having a consult with her.

Laura is an excellent architect who goes above and beyond expectations and delivers great service. She is creative, extremely diligent, friendly and she provided a variety of options for my double rear extension. From the beginning, she laid out all the steps required to get the project approved and liaised with all the required parties. When she came onsite, we went through the best options for us in terms of layout, budget and our requirements for the space.
