Western Design Architects

We are currently midway through a significant renovation and extension project to our cob cottage which was designed by WDA. Their support and judgment has been first class all the way, especially in guiding us through planning. They are there when we need snippets of advice during the build (in progress) without overwhelming us or the project in anyway. It's been a really positive process so far, and we are hugely excited to see the end result later in the year.

Excellent company to work with!! Very professional and responsive to our needs. Welldone !

Managed the refurbishment and small extension to a grade 2 listed cottage including drawing plans, extensive negotiations to gain listed building consent within inflexible interpretation of guidelines from the local Council and project management of the build.This was a lengthy process and costly project but we are thrilled with the result and could not have achieved it without Jonathan and his team. Thank you.

Fantastic company to deal with in every way . I wouldnt go anywhere else

Our experience with Western Design Architects (WDA) in one word is Fantastic thus for the second project(currently under process) choosing an architect was easy, go with WDA. If one has challenging ideas/projects then WDA and Matt will make it happen.We have approached many architects for our first project, which was to demolish the existing house and building 2 detached houses which were complex as what I wanted was not understood and the possibility to achieve is not seen with the number of square feet of built-up area achievable. Matt had understood very clearly. Matt came in to see the site (90 miles) to provide a quote. The quote was the longest and £ terms on the higher side (not highest) among the quotes I had received. I was assured that as long as I do not keep changing the design spec quotes. WDA had been thorough and professional all through the design phase, pre-planning application and representing at the planning committee. I can say every £ is worthwhile. For the first project, I thank Lucy too for going the extra mile to support Vaastu. Lucy researched to incorporate some aspects of design.Reason for recommending: 1. Design - Out of box thinking 2. Right advice with thorough knowledge 3. Very professional approach 4. Client care- Approachable, sensitive to client needs 5. Goes extra length to support.

We have recently worked with WDA on two small projects at our home and they are the architectural practice responsible for the original design of our house, which was completed in 2017.They are approachable, professional and easy people to work with. Having now “lived” with the original design for our home we appreciate the thought and care that went into the design. The company has a good feel for working on contemporary properties or those with interesting features even when located in rural locations.Highly recommended.

From the first contact, to the visit from one of the senior architects to our house and each step from there, working with Western Design has been a pleasure. The design Matt and Rebecca produced for our Yoga Studio was stunning and the pre planning meeting with Dorset council went amazingly well thanks to the great work they had done. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Great company!
