Ralph Kent / architect

Ralph Kent is a creative and professional architect with much enthusiasm and excellent communication. Ralphs detailed plans were submitted with our Planning permission and Listed buildings consent applications, which were granted with conditions. His forethought has resulted in a carefully considered, well designed high end extension, which totally maximises the potential of our Grade II listed property. Cant thank Ralph enough for his continued dedication to what has been a long and drawn-out project. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Ralphs studio or use his professional services again for future projects.

Ralph did a fantastic job for us when we hired him to reconfigure our 2-bed Victorian semi-detached house into a 3 bedroom semi. He created a third bedroom in the loft space and reconfigured the downstairs layout to enable us to make more use of the space we had, by moving the stairs to the first floor and changing an internal wall. Now the house is much lighter inside, and we have the extra space we were hoping for. Ralph listened to what we wanted to get out of the project and added ideas we hadn't thought of e.g. shelf storage on the stairs. He considered the practicalities of the planned changes (loss of loft storage space for example) and helped us work out how to fit these alongside family life. Ralph was professional, considered, and creative in his approach. He was open and gave us honest feedback when reflecting on our design and our budget. We highly recommend his services.

We have worked with Ralph on our house refurbishment since before we actually bought the house! Ralph was good enough to come around when we were looking for a suitable house to refurbish in Lymington and provide advice and guidance on what would work and what wouldnt. In fact on his advice we decided not to proceed on certain properties. When we found the house we wanted, it was an easy choice then to engage Ralph to help us with the refurbishment. Throughout he was very professional, pushing, coaxing and explaining to us features he felt we should implement but where we were unsure, and in all cases his experience proved to be correct. Equally, he was also very respectful of our wishes too and made changes to suit our requests and change the design accordingly. As such it was a very fruitful working relationship, where we challenged each other for the best solutions, and this continued throughout the build process and resulted in a stunning house which has everything that we wanted. We would highly recommend working with Ralph, and would not hesitate to use him again on any future projects.

Ralph comes highly recommended by us! Our tastes and preferences are probably different to the majority. Ralph listened to our requirements, then provided a full range of options and suggestions. The designs that Ralph created make maximum use of all available space. It was very helpful to see how different styles / designs / materials varied the expected cost. Ralphs communication is very clear and helpful. All drawings, plans and models are always well presented. His knowledge of regulations is excellent. We are happy that planning permission was granted after the submission of Ralphs application. If we have future projects, we will certainly be enlisting Ralph again. Michelle Junction Road - Croydon
