What Our Clients Say

Cherie

I couldn’t recommended JLArchitecture enough! I embarked on this renovation journey knowing absolutely nothing and James really should get a medal for putting up with my indecision and incessant phone-calls! He is innovative, well connected and supremely patient.

Lorna Constable

We highly recommend James! He is a fantastic architect who has a great vision and ability to turn our ideas into a home that we are truly proud of and has gained a lot of external appreciation. James listened to our needs and ideas closely and was able to create a proposal that was original and not your typical design, whilst still creating a comfortable family home.

Rob Kleinman

James is a fantastic architect - extremely creative but efficient with excellent ideas to utilise the maximum amount of space. He listens to the client's requirements and caters for everything, making sure the basics are covered but also throws some quirky designs in to challenge (!) but inspire you. James works closely with the planners and builders making sure that every detail is covered. His planning knowledge is brilliant too.

James is extremely easy to get along with and makes what is normally a stressful process, enjoyable! I would highly recommend James and look forward to working with him again.

Tom Camber

I have been hugely impressed by my dealings with James so far on our project. He was very clear at the outset as to the scope of the work and the costs involved so nothing was unexpected. In addition, he has been very creative with his plans for our works and am looking forward to seeing the finished loft conversion. I would definitely recommend him.

Carly Davies

James was fantastic to work with and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending his services. He is professional, friendly and extremely responsive to texts/ emails. Most importantly, his designs for our extension and loft conversion are still receiving numerous compliments from neighbours, friends and complete strangers who walk by! We found ourselves on a tight schedule and James was hugely accommodating with his quick turn-around times, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend JLArchitecture .

Stephanie

James was absolutely brilliant. We brought him in after we had a bad experience with another architect and he immediately added value re-ordering our design and maximising our space. He is super-responsive, has contacts in every corner of the industry and was on hand when needed through the build. His interaction with the planning team at the council was great and was able to enter into a positive dialogue with them. And through all, he's a very nice person to deal with!
