Tony Holt Design

Choosing Tony and his team as our designers was critical to the success of the Beechfield project and we remain delighted clients. The house is spectacular. We had commissioned another architect prior to Tony, who threw planning and design blockers in the way of what we were seeking to achieve whereas Tony’s approach was to design our dream home and then manage the planning, which went through without a hitch. Tony was able to immediately visualise how we could take advantage of the south facing opportunity enabling us to enjoy solar gain in the winter and shade in the summer which has been a huge energy saving bonus. He was sensitive to our budget and adjusted the initial design to ensure that we never felt that we were compromising. We’ve been living in the house now for three years and there is nothing that we have, in retrospect, wish we had done differently. We love it and engaging with Tony was the key to this outcome

Tony has supported us on two designs , the second of which we are living in. We chose Tony Holt Design as we just loved the houses he proposed and was responsive to our thoughts and plans. He also helped us get planning permission on both properties and steered through the approvals with authorities that had a reputation for being difficult. During the build process Tony and Chris assisted our Project Manager with any queries. Tony Holt Design have a good reputation of providing well engineered designs that builders and project management can easily work with. Richard & Pauline Andrews

Met Tony and Chris at Grand Designs London about 5 years ago, we had just purchased our 2 acre plot in Dorset on the top of a hill with 360 degree views. Planning was a long 2 1/2 year fight with countless plans, meetings, emails and phone calls. We started our build in May 2018 and hope to move in before Christmas next year 2019. The house over 400sqm, upside down has large open plan areas with over 90 sq m of balcony's facing south just as we asked for. I am project managing this complicated build myself, I have no previous building experience so I do need help, lots of it ! Tony Holt Designs have designed exactly what was asked for, within our budget and have managed this project through planning and construction design to date. They spent months working on construction drawings and designing out expensive problems with the cantilevers and large glass openings. We have 5 sets of Italian triple glazed lift and slide doors on the upper floor each weighing over 700 kg so lots of steel. I have called them hundreds of times over the last year or so and always talk with Tony or Chris, any problems I have are dealt with straight away, plans or detail queries are emailed as we speak. They have helped us with design consultants, materials and suppliers and are now designing our ceilings ready for our lighting scheme. They will site visit just to see if things are OK and if I need any help. In short, I could not have got to this stage with out Tony Holt Design and both Tony and Chris have become good friends of ours. For the service we have had and are still getting they are worth far more than I have paid. If I was to self build again I would not hesitate to use Tony and Chris, you would be hard pushed to get a better service. Gary & Susan Hughes

We engaged with the team back in 2016 to remodel and enlarge the 1940's house we had just purchased. Tony and Chris visited the property and after a few weeks came back to us with an amazing design. Apart from a small number of tweaks the first draft is what we ended up with. They understood our brief perfectly and we are complimented by everybody that visits the house on how incredible it is.

We purchased a 1970's property in early 2019 and approached Tony Holt design with reference a renovation but we soon decided on a complete new rebuild. Despite us being in the North of England hundreds of miles from Tony Holt design they have been on hand and very proactive with the design of the build. As well as listening to our dreams they have had input from a professional point of view. Once we received the final designs we fell in love. We are looking forward to building this dream home and couldn't have done it without the assistance of Tony Holt design. Thanks Danny & Emily
