Martin offered us simple and pragmatic advice in a timely manner. Even after reviewing the first drawings there was plenty of scope to adapt and amend to better suit our needs. The whole family are very pleased with the finished space

BD Brighton

Without Martin we would never have been able to negotiate the pitfalls of Planning and the complexities of Building Control. He was always happy to fit in with our irregular availability and made the whole process very straightforward

CP Montpelier Street, Brighton

We have worked with Martin for over three years. Our collaboration began in 2008 when we asked him to design an extension to our kitchen. The final plans involved extending the kitchen as well as moving the existing garage and utility room. Martin assisted us in choosing a builder and at every turn we found his help invaluable. The work has received plaudits from friends and professionals alike. He has always been most generous with his advice and the persons he recommended have all been excellent
