Fox-Groves Architecture

Michael designed an art deco style downstairs extension and loft conversion with zinc dormer for us we are delighted with the plans, which now have planning approval. Michael was professional and communicative throughout the process and we would certainly use him on future projects and highly recommend him.

We approached Michael at Fox-Grove Architects to help us re-configure our ground floor, which had been a project we had been wanting to progress for a number of years. We needed the space to work better for us as a growing family, and whilst we were not extending the footprint there were several options for how we could progress. Michael was fantastic from our first visit to the sign off on the plans. He suggested clever solves for problems we didn't even realise we had. But also he went above and beyond, making recommendations for suppliers and contractors. He was able to come on site on a number of occasions to meet with our contractors and discuss the plans in details and then make the necessary changes. I wouldn't hesitatein recommending Michael.

Michael guided us through the initial phases of a rear, single-story extension to our property. Having never done this before, we had no idea what to expect, what questions to ask, what *not* to ask, and generally what to do. Michael put us at ease straight away. Instead of diving straight into solutions, he listened to what we had to say. What were our problems, what did we want to achieve with the new space we wanted? At the end of a few more calls and meetings with him, Michael presented some brilliant options for an extension. Some were quite standard, others challenged our perception of what was possible with the space - interior and exterior. Exactly what we needed. We ran with the process until the point of getting planning permission at which point we decided to pause for a year or two. Overall, we really appreciated Michaels friendly, approachable and down-to-earth handling of our project.

Can highly recommend Michael. He is very approachable, thorough and full of ideas and gets things to you in a timely manner/when he says he will. He is also incredibly helpful with the bessert planning process. We asked him to design an extension replacing the garage, shed and conservatory all to be integrated with the house which he did along with options on a smaller scale. His drawings were great, easy to understand and come with a full explanation/presentation of his thinking. I felt we were in good hands

Michael designed a rear extension and improved the layout of our ground floor. He helped us with our plans enormously. We found it easy to talk to him about what we wanted, and he came up with great design suggestions, which were far better than our ideas, making better use of the space and how it flows. We absolutely love cooking for and entertaining our friends in our new kitchen-diner, its the kind of space we always dreamed of having! We would highly recommend Michael.
