As a young family looking for a single storey extension with no previous experience of building work, Steve proved the ideal architect in introducing us to the process and guiding us through some of the major decisions we had to make.

Steve Mitchell came to us highly recommended by friends and he fully met our expectations. His highly professional yet warm manner made it very easy to discuss all possibilities for the work we were considering. He understood what mattered to us and made great suggestions as to how these particulars could be accommodated, explaining why options would/wouldn't work. His efficiency and clear communication at each stage made us feel really 'safe' with him. I couldn't imagine working with a better architect!

Steve is an excellent person to work with, both friendly and professional. The thing Steve brought to the project that we appreciated the most was the ability to break the process down into manageable steps, which is invaluable when you have so many decisions to make along the way. Steve very effectively helped us start to settle on our preferred design from an early stage, despite us being fairly indecisive at times, by exploring our ideas and the available options with us and lending the benefit of his experience of what would and wouldn't work. Steve and the structural engineer he recommended were both pragmatic about the interplay of cost and design, suggesting changes along the way t...

Having read Steve’s reviews we felt he would be able to bring interesting design ideas for our side return extension, and he did not disappoint. Steve exceeded our expectations and listened patiently to our changing brief and recognised our budget for the project. He responded swiftly to all communications with us and was happy to meet our neighbour to allay there concerns. We have nothing but positives to say about the work that he completed for us and have already recommended him to friends.

Steve developed the the plans for us to seek permitted development from Planning for a conversion. He explained everything clearly, took our requirements into consideration, was very flexible and made the process easy for us.

When looking for an architect we were looking for an experienced and creative architect who could take our relatively well-formed ideas and take them from concept into reality. Steve did this, and then some. The vision he formed enhanced our original designs significantly and we found ourselves coming up with “new ideas” throughout the process only to find that Steve had suggested them earlier. He takes the time to understand the brief, and then enhances it in a way that will deliver an improved outcome. Steve designed a double-storey side return, loft conversion and single storey rear extension with a triangular gable over glass sliding doors. The design of the rear extension in particula...

Steve helped us design a rear/side extension to our small end terrace. He was knowledgeable and thorough on our consultation and gave us concept ideas quickly which he developed plans for planning permission. He followed up with planning and answered questions they had so we happily received planning permission and will hopefully soon be getting building work underway. Definitely recommend. Thanks

Steve is highly creative and has some great ideas and vision. He was also able to emphasise with our family issues that drive some of the challenges of the project from our perspective. We have already recommended Steve to friends of the family.

Siva Pillay

We have been really happy with the service Steve provided, he listened to our ideas and combined with his own designed a great new living/dining space for us and proceeded to get us through planning with no problems. He took on board our budget and worked with us to design a space that reflected this. His professionalism and quality of work is good. Steve sent through his ideas on time when promised with no delays. Steve has also been good at recommending people to help with other areas of our project.

Excellent service. Very quick turn around and incorporated any changes required easily. We have used Mitchell Architecture Studios for two projects now and would definitely use them again. Highly recommended.
