Featured Reviews for Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK

Karen Parry Architect
Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 September 2015
“Without any knowledge of this company other than online information,I tasked Karen to look at development possibilities for my 200 year old cottage. I did not want to move house though the cottage was just too small for my extending family. The resultant design that was approved by the local authority exceeded my wildest dreams and I solely put this down to Karen and her team's design talent and total perseverance. We really are indebted to her for what she achieved. I cannot thank Karen enough. She is also highly professional, focussed and very disciplined in terms of timescales and meeting deadlines. Clearly, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.”
MAP Magnus Architect Practice
Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 November 2023
“Magnus proved himself excellent at making best use of space. He spotted that the original design we had for our granny annex put the bathroom in a prime position for living space. He produced an alternative design that moved the stairs and tricked a usable bathroom in underneath. As a result, we have a beautiful, good sized and sunny kitchen / dining space overlooking the garden and we observe that our guests spend a lot of time in this room as it is such good quality space. I am sure this has contributed to the financial success of our venture. Search the web for Glasgow Holiday Cottage to see images.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 April 2020
“We’re fantastic start to finish - really understanding and understood our somewhat scrambled brief straight away. Made themselves available to discuss the project with my contractors throughout and help make sure the project was successful. Easy decision to recommend and will be using again for my next project.”
Paterson Gordon Architecture
Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 April 2019
“paterson gordon architecture was recommended to us by friends who were part way through their own project. The plans for that inspired us hire Elaine for our own project. Looking back on the whole experience we just would not have been able to achieve the amazing results we have without Elaine's vision and support. Firstly, with regard to design Elaine did what I guess all very good architects do which is to give you both what you want alongside what you didn't know you wanted (or could achieve) in the first place. We fell in love with the design almost immediately. Secondly, the generation of the specification and tender meant we got the look and feel we wanted but within the budget available. Thirdly, the selection of a contractor was part of the process I wasn't looking forward to but Elaine handled this process very professionally, meeting builders with us and supporting the final decision. Finally, and by no means least, was the project management side of the business. Elaine was on site regularly and dealt with any of the inevitable delays and (thankfully minor) issues with calmness and professionalism, this was greatly appreciated by us and our contractor. I would wholeheartedly recommend paterson gordon architecture to anyone looking for a contemporary, beautiful and practical extension - we could not be happier with the end result.”
E Blair Architect & Interior Designer
Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 May 2017
“Emma was on the ball and organised right from the word go. She gave me lots of ideas for my kitchen/ diner and decking layout and was on hand to guide us through the building and planning application processes. Really excellent architect and excellent customer service. We are so happy with the finished result!”
Thomas Robinson Architects
Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 January 2017
“I hired Thomas Robinson Architects (TRA) to design and project-manage an accessible extension and internal alterations for a residential listed building. The initial design idea was what inspired me to engage them further - it respected the original building but was very much a design element in its own right, being modern and yet classical at the same time. We established a programme of regular meetings throughout the design, planning application and building warrant processes and my thoughts and ideas were worked in wherever possible. TRA oversaw the tender process and appointment of a contractor and established monthly site meetings throughout the contract. Careful minuting of the meetings allowed issues to be followed through from month to month. Any issues with the contractor were dealt with timeously and there was a detailed approach to final snagging to ensure good quality finishes. Importantly the budget was very well managed, with some items being altered or removed to ensure it wasn't exceeded and this was done without detriment to the overall project. I felt confident in TRA to protect my interests throughout the project which dissipated any potential stressful situations. The finished house extension and alterations have exceeded all of my expectations - the internal space and views out are equally as impressive as the exterior. As a very satisfied client, I would have no hesitation in recommending TRA as a talented, attentive and highly professional company and would use them again if the situation arose.”
KBA Design Studio Ltd.
Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 June 2020
“We used KBA Design Studio on several occasions when renovating different properties. Karim was extremely professional, polite and offered competitive pricing throughout the years and always completed projects on time. Karim helped us with many great ideas to improve design and also to add value to our properties. Some of the renovated properties we managed to rent out within 24 hours because they were so beautiful. We will continue using Karim's services in the future and are already working with him on the house extension. We can highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a modern architect who has a great respect for old features that offer lots of character especially in the Scottish homes.”
A-Cubed Design Ltd
Architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 October 2015
“Amanda has provided an above and beyond service right from the outset. Working tirelessly to ensure that our design requests were both compatible with regulations stipulated and yet achieving all we wanted from the build. Keeping a keen eye on the detail throughout the project left us feeling confident and she was incredibly responsive to any queries which were raised. Amanda provides a very friendly and hugely professional service, and is worth every penny of her highly competitive fees! We chose A-Cubed Design through recommendation and I have no concern with now recommending her to others!”

“Krebbel helped redesign the interior of my bungalow, opening up the kitchen and creating a new bathroom/wet room within the existing floorplan. Very pleased with both the design process and the finished result. I'm still admiring it nearly three years on!”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

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


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Rothesay locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, UK architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Argyll and Bute subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
