Client Testimonials.

  • “George and James Architects have created a light, open and sociable space – a new focal point for the house and our family, and exactly what we were looking for. Their management of the whole process, from initial designs, through to planning approval and then the build itself was seamless and efficient.”

    Aled & Francesca, Clissold Crescent

  • “Our architects have created a simple and comfortable extension which has transformed the house. We valued their ability to work within our limited budget without cutting corners or compromising the design. They were unfailingly helpful and responsive to our needs and we are very happy with the results.”

    Arlington Avenue, James and Effric

  • “We wanted to express such deep thanks and gratitude to all those at George and James that have made our ‘summer auction purchase’ the most spectacular set of buildings and most importantly a place to bring up our children – a home beyond anything we imagined when we bought our burnt down site in 2020. We have also thoroughly appreciated how George and James have pulled it all together, from dealing with the planners, the design team and the contractor, all the hard inches that can easily be forgotten when it’s all complete and incredible. You are such a fantastic team with a wonderful set of values and work ethic.”

    Homeowner

  • “I am an architect myself with a lifetime’s experience and George and James is the firm I picked to work with to support me in every aspect of a significant personal project. I picked them because they understand what it takes to make a really good building. They understand their business, they are up to date and they do what they say they will do. They are, in my experience, completely reliable. They have an exact knowledge of the project and always seem to anticipate issues before they become a problem as well as instantly recall exactly how something should be done. They are attentive to budget and programme, thorough in providing and coordinating information, and inventive and sensible about how detail is both developed and carefully integrated into an architectural composition. As a client, I have found them to be calm and consistent, positive and patient and a pleasure to work with.”
