John Wood, Architect

5 Star
We are currently working with John on an extensive house remodel involving conversion of a large garage into a living space with small kitchen and bathroom, plus opening up the kitchen, dining room and conservatory, and updating much of the rest of the house. We have had very little experience working with an architect and the prospect of choosing one without a personal recommendation was daunting but we struck gold! We could not have wished for a better architect. John translated what we wanted to achieve and what our budget allowed into a comprehensive and creative set of plans. At the start of the process he presented us with a structured fee schedule which clearly set out his levels of involvement. This is very helpful as it has eliminated any uncertainty. He helped us find a great building contractor, made recommendations for suppliers that we have successfully followed up and has generally taken much of the stress out of the whole process of remodelling a home. Now that building works have started, he has been wonderfully quick in responding to any concerns, thoughtfully follows up on issues, has a good working relationship with the builders and has been proactive in many areas. John fully deserves his 5-star reviews and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

We would highly recommend John Wood for architectural services. John designed our extension and we found the whole experience really enjoyable. John's passion and enthusiasm was just what we were after and from the first time we met him he had lots of great ideas and suggestions for our new space. John's creative and considered approach ensured that our extension feels really special and unique and we felt that John gave our project a great deal of time and effort. His advice on planning and appointing a contractor was invaluable and helped the project run really smoothly.

John has been working on our extension project since 2017. He has taken our delays and plan alterations all in his stride. He has redesigned our upstairs space and his attention to detail is reflected in that work. We were delighted with the outcome. He is reliable, friendly and importantly brings fresh ideas to the table rather than just the bare minimum. We are excited for John to project manage the extension next year!

Worked with John on our Kitchen Extension. Very considered design and glad we employed an architect, as it kept the builders on track and became a constant point of reference for everyone involved. Johns approach took how we lived and how we wanted to live into consideration. Brought up lots of questions and problems that we hadn’t thought about and then found solutions to all of them. Johns collaborative way of working ensured the result is amazing. We now have everything we need in our house. John guided us through planning permission problems we had which ended up being quite complicated for a small build. He didn’t relent to their crazy ways and we ended up getting the design we wanted passed. Now the build is complete and we are living in it we couldn’t be happier. I very much appreciate Johns work on this as I understand that ideas must come first and then be realised second. Johns experience and creativity helped give us exactly what we wanted.

Highly recommend John, he turned up for our initial consultation on a single story extension, gave us a clear picture of what we can expect and left us with lots of ideas and way more than we initially thought would be possible. We're moving forward to the next stage of planning with John and we're really excited to see what he comes up with.
