Atkinson Architects

Richard's vision and energy were invaluable in gaining our planning permission and driving through our building project in East Portlemouth. He is particularly good at blending the old and new with original architectural features and a natural feeling for light and space.Richard cares about his clients and delivers a highly personalised service with great attention to detail - the result is we have a house which is a pure joy to live in - we would highly recommend his services.

We have worked with Richard and his team, on several occasions.The firm are both professional and innovative.They listen closely to clients requests, and come up with designs incorporating the clients ideas.Happy to tweak and adjust plans, when necessary.Very professional with the authorities on behalf of the client.Top Company to deal with, and would thoroughly recommend.

Atkinson Architects were instrumental in assisting with achieving our Class Q planning consent with the plans we needed to support the application. Upon reciept of the consent Richard and David have both advised us with further information to allow us to progress to the next stage of the project. We have been delighted with the advise we have received to date. Atkinson Arcitects have been an integral and valuable part of the design team and we look forward to working with them during the build phase of our project.

Richard and his team helped deliver our dream cottage on a very challenging site. The cottage is in a conservation area and the development was high profile. We were very pleased with Richard’s design ideas and his support in helping to get planning approved and overseeing the renovation and extension. We highly recommend Atkinson Architects.

We are in the process of finalising the plans for our extension. Atkinson Architects have used their extensive knowledge and experience in extending old properties in our area to develop a fantastic scheme for us. We are excited to get the build underway and cannot wait for the final product! We have already recommended Atkinson Architects to friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Richard!

I bought a Victorian house with a tiny kitchen that had no outside windows, a cold uPVC utility room and a falling-down garage. I had my own development plans but Richard encouraged me to be daring and suggested that I knock the back section out and start again. I now have a magnificent kitchen area with light flooding in from the full length sliding doors that give me a full view of the garden. It’s perfect. The small damp room above is now a large bedroom with its own en-suite and it’s never cold :-)Throughout the project, Richard was on hand to discuss the plans with the builders, structural engineer and offer advice to me when I wanted a few changes.I recommend Richard and David - Atkinson Architects Ltd.

We have worked with Atkinson Architects on numerous projects over the years.We would recommend them for their professionalism and attention to detail.It is always a pleasure working with Richard.

Our project involved two extensions on a very restricted site with time and access constraints. Additional complications relating to drainage and the interface with the existing structure became apparent as the design progressed. Atkinson Architects created an imaginative layout and we found them them easy to work with, very responsive and highly professional.

We have provided planning tree consultancy advice for Atkinson Architects and their clients on a number of projects. They are highly professional and a pleasure to work with.

We approached Richard for our new build and are so pleased we did. Complete novices in this exciting but slightly challenging endeavour due to our total lack of knowledge about it, Richard has been a calm and reassuring guide with his comprehensive expertise, approachability and care.
