Hi there! After many years working for several award-winning practices, I decided to follow my dream and set up my own architectural practice. Obviously, the scale of projects has changed but its, without doubt, the best life decision that I have ever made. My only regret is that I did not make the leap earlier. I love my job and wouldn't change it for the world! Any of my clients will happily tell you that I am a passionate and dedicated architect, who will successfully guide you through, what can be a stressful process. Thanks for reading!

It was a real pleasure working with Gareth and loved the design for the rear extension right from the first meeting/drawing.
Gareth took care of all the planning and also had back drawings, in case the Corten extension was refused, the design sailed through planning and Gareth's detail drawings were exceptional, we love the extension and it really works for us as a family.
Gareth was always contactable, arrived on time for scheduled site visits and also when he was needed to come to site to discuss the design build, arrived on site the following day. He worked well with other other contractors to bring the design to life.

I was put in contact with Gareth through a recommendation as we were planning on an attic conversion in our 2 bed Victorian terrace to make a double bedroom and en-suite. From the very start Gareth was extremely helpful - we had meetings at the house to discuss the options and he explained everything very clearly.
Gareth has pretty much managed the whole process. We both work full time and don't know the first thing about building so having somebody reliable that we can trust has been a huge weight off our shoulders.
We are planning on doing further work to our house in the future and would not hesitate in asking Gareth to help us with that also.
Sarah Capes: Loft Conversion & Extension in Radlett
We had a kitchen that was long and dark, with the functional areas 1.5 metres from the main source of light (French windows leading to a conservatory) because of the door that led to an adjoining utility space that was an unwelcoming, cold and narrow lean to. We wanted to move the functional areas of the kitchen towards the light and creating a new utility area. Gazey Architects was recommended to us by a surveyor friend. At the options stage. Gazey Architects produced a number of options, including one that approached the project in a different perspective than we had imagined, reconfiguring most of the downstairs or our house, and which really caught our imagination. He suggested demolishing our much loved conservatory as well as the utility area and replacing them with a wrap around extension including lots of windows, also losing three of the walls to the kitchen, including that between our lounge and kitchen and moving our downstairs WC to create the space for a new utility space. We were really excited by this plan and eventually, after much discussion with Gareth Gazey, decided to go ahead with it. Gazey Architects were invaluable for this vison, and for their assistance in finding contractors and then managing the project and contractor. The result is a space that is something we would never have thought of but does everything we asked for and so, so much more. It continually delights us, and wows everyone who visits. We couldn't be more delighted and cannot praise Gazey Architects enough. We thoroughly recommend them.
