ArchitectureLIVE

My wife and I bought a house in Haslemere in 2010, a perfectly charming period house with three small but adequate bedrooms but a small and unloved ground floor. We always had dreams to one day extending it. Having searched around she found ArchitectureLIVE and was immediately excited by their projects and approach. Jonathan patiently sat with us finding more about ourselves and our tastes and, over a couple of months, returned with some exciting ideas. As sometimes happens it took a number of years to be able to mobilise ourselves (both practically and financially) to finally be able to create the space. During that time Jonathan maintained contact and as the project approached its start date we were able to modify and revisit the designs. It is hard to describe how much the resulting extension has changed our lives, indeed the word ‘extension’ doesn’t quite capture what we now live in. ArchitectureLIVE has created a totally unique space that reflects us as a family and provided a brand new living space. It is testament to the design that it has been shortlisted for the Waverley Architectural Awards 2019 (announcement of the award is in March 2019). We are incredibly proud of the extension and so very grateful to ArchitectureLIVE for what they have given to us as a family.

As a main contractor, it is very exciting when you are involved with complex, different and sometimes difficult projects. It is also very refreshing when the architects of these projects are a joy to work with. Architecture Live are approachable, precise and and above all sympathetic towards clients, the building and contractors in equal measures.

ArchitectureLIVE have designed a single storey extension for our 1960s property in West Sussex. They listened carefully to our requirements and took into consideration our budget constraints and came up with a clever, fresh and exciting design like no other, which will revolutionise our way of life. The design maximises the use of small spaces and will bring open-plan living to our dated property. We very much look forward to completing our project with ArchitectureLIVE supporting us in what is our first construction project and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Architecture Live planned and designed the complete extension and renovation of our 1960's house in West Sussex. At every stage they listened to our needs and requirements as a family and took those on board - while always adding new ideas and the flair to lift our project out of the ordinary. Their advice on energy efficiency and no-nonsense approach to eco initiatives was also refreshing and extremely valuable. Three years on we still absolutely love living in our house - which is both perfectly functional and extremely beautiful. We have an on-going relationship with the team as we are still completely further phases of our project, and find that their ideas and energy continue to impress. Highly recommend.
