Mulholland Architecture specialise in bespoke residential design. We design unique spaces with distinct quality and character, carefully responding to your brief and refining it to create bespoke spaces for better living, tailored to your needs and budget.
We begin with your brief and tailor the design around your lifestyle and how you want to use the space. We'll test layouts and consider the use of natural light, high quality, well-crafted materials, and views into and through the scheme. These are based on your needs and design aspirations and unique to your project. I use drawings, digital 3D models, renders and walkthroughs so you can clearly visualise the proposals I present to you.
I can take your project from conception to completion - producing a bespoke design from the aspirations you have now, getting it through the planning and the building regulation/technical design stages, and if required, project management throughout the constuction.
I'm passionate about working closely with clients to help them get their dream home!

"Chris' approach worked really well for us. He spent time with us in our home and sharing ideas online, finding out about how we lived and worked, and what we wanted. It's been easy working with him and we feel he 'gets' us, our interests and what we're looking for. He produced a range of great concepts for the house, each of which was a really imaginative solution. He has great vision and an eye for detail, creating some really beautiful features in the drawings we have gone with. He negotiated the planning process successfully first time, which was a bit more complicated because we live in a conservation area and were making changes to all sides of the house. He's kept to deadlines throughout and responds to questions without delay."

"I contacted Chris when I was in the house viewing stages to get advice on a potential project I had in mind, as his style and ethic was in line with my own. He was very helpful and attended a viewing with me so we could fully discuss my ideas before I committed to the purchase. Since then he created designs that were exactly what I had and mind and more, as well as pushing my chosen design through planning quickly. He was on hand throughout the whole build and kept in touch regularly with myself and the builders.
Nearly two years later I am still repeatedly getting compliments on my extension. As a first time buyer and renovator Chris explained the process to me every step of the way and was a pleasure to work with. I would fully recommend Chris to anyone."

We contacted a number of architects before choosing to go with Chris to design our house renovation - including loft extension and kitchen extension / reconfiguration.
We already loved the designs we'd seen in Chris' portfolio, but what stood out compared to others was that he came to meet us in our home, taking time to get to know us, how we live and what our 'style' is.
This was reflected in the designs and use of space that Chris produced for us. He produced a number of options initially, which we then narrowed down before selecting materials and producing more detailed designs.
We specifically asked Chris to push us outside our comfort zone a bit with the design, materials and colours - as we wanted something a bit different. He did exactly that, and we love the results.
We'd definitely recommend Chris. He's a great architect and a really nice guy!

I had a number of conversations with Chris where he explained the processes in great detail, including a visit and a detailed response to my requirements. Very personable and professional – looking forward to working through my project with him
