Armstrong Simmonds Architects

John and the team have helped us work up plans to refurbish our Victorian terrace. They are a pleasure to work with and have provided a seamless service. Creative and competent team. Thank you!

John and Nick did a fantastic job firstly in drafting the plans for our basement conversion and side return, then also in helping us obtain planning permission within the restraints of a conservation area. Nick was very pleasant to deal with, very proactive and responsive, and went the extra mile to get the critical aspects of the design through planning.

Armstrong Simmonds Architects fully understood our brief when we were redesigning our property. They quickly understood what we were looking for and fully met the brief. We were delighted with the result and can’t recommend them highly enough for their professionalism, creativity and attention to detail.

John and Nick from Armstrong Simmonds did a great job stretching some plans we brought them and helping us navigate the tricky planning process to deliver our best project yet. They were extremely user friendly, reliable and efficient. Johns integrity when we realised we'd initially selected the wrong builder really stood out and enabled us to partner up with an exceptional builder who we would highly recommend to anyone else. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Armstrong Simmonds again.

We received excellent advice when refurbishing a four bed house, including carrying out a wrap around extension to the kitchen area, proposing some very attractive and clear ideas. As a company they were very good with communication throughout the whole planning and building process.Overall, very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone

I cannot recommend Armstrong and Simmonds architects highly enough. Within minutes of John meeting us at our home he had understood our brief and was sharing a vision that ticked all of our boxes.We had met with other architects who did not inspire us and told us the shape we wanted for our extension would not be possible. John had excellent knowledge of the local planning rules, researched planning submissions in the immediate area and was confident that he would get our application through - and he did!During the detailed design process John and his team listened closely to how we wanted to use the space. He came up with many design features and solutions to save costs and keep our dream design within our budget.Throughout the process they delivered an innovative plan that felt personal to us in a professional and timely manner.We found John and his team to be responsive, helpful and caring. They went above and beyond to get our project over the line and I have no hesitation in recommending the firm to anyone looking at home extension/improvement. We would not look anywhere else for any future builds!

As a small developer I felt that Armstrong Simmonds filled the brief extremely well. I appointed Armstrong Simmonds in 2012 after vetting several other similar architectural firms. What struck me at the time was the range of expertise within the firm, but also their ability to negotiate the often difficult passage of the planning process, but also some very useful contacts to the table. They have worked on several plans for me and are capable of bringing to fruition not only the plans, but also careful attention to details, architectural features, along with much needed sage advice. Their costings are reasonable and transparent. They are always ready to communicate both over the phone and in person and if the architect that you want to speak to is unavailable, they do call you back the following day. I cannot recommend them enough.

Having worked with Armstrong Simmonds Architects on various residential projects I can highly recommend them. Their team understands the client’s needs and ensures that the project runs smoothly. It is extremely beneficial working with technically competent architect that leads the desgin process and delivers well thought final product

Excellent work - very professional and willing and able to think outside the box. Easy to get along with and followed our instructions well, making suggestions and improvements where necessary. Would highly recommend!

We appointed Armstrong Simmonds Architects following a competitive tender to remodel and extend a Victorian terraced house in Southfields. We worked closely with John Armstrong on the initial designs and the planning considerations. Surveying of the existing property was swiftly conducted and the team were very proactive in the management of our planning applications which were granted with no amendments. Although we only specified a basic drawings package our builders and those that tendered for the project were complimentary on the detail and thoroughness of the plans. John also made himself available to discuss issues during the build which has been extremely helpful.I would recommend asking to see practical examples of what is included at each price point to ensure expectations are clear on what is included.In addition we have appointed Armstrong Simmonds Architects to produce drawings and manage the planning application for garden gym building and will likely work on additional projects with John and the team.
