(click on their name above to view their full profile and shortlist them for your project)
‘I run an architectural practice near London and live in Kent. I have just built my second house for our family. We have also worked on a number of private houses – new-builds, extensions and refurbishments – and we have completed a new house in Tunbridge Wells, one near Sevenoaks and another one on the Wentworth Estate.
My latest house for our family has borehole heating, a well, solar electric and solar hot water panels and many other energy-saving systems. I have a lot of experience with gaining planning consents, especially for tricky sites. Most of all I aim for my houses to provide a feeling of serenity and to let in lots of light.‘
Maria – Interior architecture, East Sussex
(click on their name above to view their full profile and shortlist them for your project)
‘Hi there! I’m Maria, an interior architect based in East Sussex. I love what I do, from meeting new clients, establishing the brief, finding solutions, being on a building site, meeting trades, even negotiating my way through a challenge. I’ve always said a good designer is a primarily a problem solver and after 16 years of being a designer that is something I have come to do very well. During this time I have worked on projects ranging from large scale residential re designs to individual room designs.
My design journey all those years ago started with bathroom and kitchen design. However these days most projects I take on are more than one room, as one room typically speaks to another so I feel it important to see that area as a whole.
My interest isn’t just to create a pretty space but an organised, cohesive home that is balanced and calm. My focus is never on a particular style, I let you, the end user dictate that, my general approach is to create a timeless space that evokes warmth and comfort through great craftsmanship, well curated furnishings and art work that compliment the space.‘
