Emily

I worked with Emily through a two year process of refurbishing a Grade II Listed house in Westminster. The process involved drawing up detailed plans, costings, obtaining planning permission, meticulous design and material selection of all the various details, selecting a contractor and, finally, project managing the works. Little did I know when a... ll this started how much work, how many drawings, decisions and time, all this would take. I was lucky to have had Emily as my architect. The skills required are too many to count, but Emily seemed to know all the answers and combined this with a flair for original design, technical skills and an incredible patience and forbearance towards me as client. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I have no doubt she can rise to any challenge. Emilys projects stitch together restoration and classic modern design. Her confidence and her playful nature allows our house to be fun, simple and most importantly a place you would want to be. She designed a 4 bedroom house within the footprint of our previously tiny-feeling mews house which manages to feel spacious, light and airy. She knows the importance of the quality of small things; the right amount of space to walk past in the galley kitchen, the right handle on a door or a switch on a wall. The parts of an interior that we touch every day are the parts that let us know how pleasant it is to live in her designs. It shows her attention to detail, a love of what she does and a wish for the client to continue to love their home for a long time to come.Read More
