Brooks Architects Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Ipswich.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 May 2020
“Tim Hannon visited me to discuss plans for my new house, having explained what I wanted Tim came back with a plan, there were a few tweeks to satisfy my requirements, but other wise the design was perfect. Tim kept in touch through the whole process, offering advice when I needed it (I project managed the site) the result was a property that is frequently admired by passers by and a very comfortable home to live in.”
Method Studio
Architects & Building Designers in Ipswich.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 September 2017
“We had a great experience working with Isaak and the team at Method Studio. They were very keen to understand our thought process and what we wanted to achieve, and were creative with the design, coming up with many great ideas. In addition, Isaak was very helpful from a technical and operational perspective – providing sound advice and guiding us through the planning, building regs and tendering process. A great result that we are very happy with!”
Tony Ryder Design
Architects & Building Designers in Ipswich.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 January 2024
“Tony was both creative and pragmatic on our massive rennon project on this 1978 link detached house that had been neglected and unloved since the previous owner was taken ill, some time back. His use of space and introduction of light and curves into areas of the house have been elemental in creating more space for us and we are delighted with the thoughtful choice of materials. Always will to help and be pro-active in a "soft-way" and working well with the building team made the project and enjoyable and rewarding experience.”
Edward Parsley Associates Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Ipswich.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 May 2019
“I've worked with Edward Parsley Assocoaites Ltd for many years and have always found them totally professional, great at listening and responding to client briefs with creative and practical advice on a range of building challenges. The value of having multiple professional disciplines (architecture, design and structural engineering) in house can be a real advantage for more complex projects.”
Nicholas Vanburgh Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Ipswich.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 April 2019
“We gave Nicholas the impossible task of turning a large but totally architecturally challenged farmhouse into a beautiful home. he and his team excelled at this and there attention to detail is exceptional. We asked for a design only service, this is what we got along with more than agreed detailed drawings of every possible element of the rebuild. The job was so impressive that our neighbours employed Nicholas to do their farmhouse and it too have turned out to be an exquisite end result. I would recommend NV ltd again and again.”
Raydan Watkins Architects Cambridgeshire
Architects & Building Designers in Ipswich.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 September 2019
“We used Raydan Watkins to update a small flat attached to our house. They went carefully through our preferences and wishes, redesigned the kitchen space and living area and brought the electrics, heating and other services up to date. One key requirement was to maintain the ambience of the original, which they did - while modernising the elements that needed it. They were easy to work with, professional in approach - and remain friends, which is not always the case!”

“Great service from Mark, i would highly recommend anyone considering getting professional drawings for your house extensions to use Marlin Designs, not only did they delivered on time but on budget, Mark was always on the other end of the telephone to answer any queries you may have. I found Mark to be very professional and easy to work with throughout the process, I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.”
Kasawoo
Architects & Building Designers in Ipswich.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 August 2020
“Kasawoo helped us to transform a plain commercial building unit into a multipurpose private office and entertainment space. Through the design of the 1.5 floor layout and inclusion of clever storage partitions, we were enabled to fully utilize the modest floor space. All sections of the unit remain bright and airy, as the overall layout respects the natural lightning from the original windows.. Needless to say, service was friendly and professional!”

Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Ipswich, Suffolk, UK general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.
