Pardon Chambers Architects

Pardon Chambers have done an outstanding job transforming our tired offices into a beautiful environment for hybrid working. Acteon is lucky to be based in a large, attractive Georgian house in central Cambridge, but the interiors were dated and not practical for our new flexible working arrangements. Nicola from Pardon Chambers saw the potential of the building and matched that with the practical requirements of our brief to create lovely new spaces for working and relaxing.We were impressed with Pardon Chambers from our first meeting. They took the trouble to really understand us and what we needed, produced ideas that combined creativity with practicality, and guided us through every aspect of the project. The way they worked with the contractors and their attention to detail helped ensure the project was delivered on time, and even slightly under budget!The project has been a huge success for Acteon. Colleagues love working in the new spaces, and they are empowering our new working model. We’re delighted that we chose to work with Pardon Chambers.Owen RoseManaging Partner, Acteon

Pardon Chambers were initially recommended to us by our estate agent after we had recently moved into our new home that we wanted to extend and modernise. After meeting with Nicola we explained our brief, discussed budgets and smoothly progressed through the design phase. Our planning application was accepted with a few conditions which Nicola efficiently dealt with. Much of our dealings have been with Roman who produced our technical drawings and held our hand through the design process, coming up with some excellent concepts, incorporating our “good” suggestions whilst politely and directly explaining why some of our other ideas were not practical.Roman has been ever present throughout the build, easily contactable, working with our builders and helping us navigate the process of a full house renovation.The end result has exceeded our expectations and we’d highly recommend both Roman and Nicola.
