Duncan Foster Architects

Duncan is the architect of our newly redeveloped house. He showed great creativity, tireless and speedy follow up. His attention to detail was second to none. We were demanding clients and he always responded in a constructive and positive way. He found solutions to most problems and went out of his way to help us and the building contractor. We liked the way he listened to our ideas and at the same time he convinced us when there was a better solution or idea. We are very pleased with the final building and would use Duncan's services again.

Great ability to translate our ideas into a visual reality and in addition add concepts that we had not thought of. The house has really been positively transformed a consequence of Duncans design. Very clever use of space has created the illusion of a bigger living area even though the footprint of the property has not changed. Duncan has been a pleasure to work with and we have no hesitation in recommending Duncan to others.

Duncan designed, led and project managed a large extension project for us a few years ago. The clarity of his design, his attention to detail and the overall passion and commitment he gave to the project were refreshing. His overall project management and attention to detail on costings were also commendable. I'd thoroughly recommend him.

We highly recommend Duncan Foster - from our first meeting it was clear that Duncan understood what we were trying to create in remodelling and extending our home. He was able to interpret our thoughts and create something for us that exceeded our aspirations and feels very special. We were able to build a great working relationship with Duncan who supported through the challenge of living on site during the build which we completed in two phases as our budget allowed.

My wife and I have worked with Duncan on 2 different projects. One was the rebuilding of the ground floor of a London house to open out the kitchen/ dining and living space. The other was the complete renovation of a 1930s house, again to open up living space and build a 2-storey extension that serves as a living room opening to the garden. Both projects were tackled and executed with real imagination and flair and the work converted two old buildings to provide spacious, light, stylish yet extremely functional family space. The new configurations and new extensions work exactly as envisaged at the design stage and both properties have been transformed into elegant contemporary dwellings. Duncan is receptive to budgetary concerns and transparent about costs. Also working with a quantity surveyor he acted as an effective supervisor of contractors.
