Andrew Long + Architects

We moved back into our house at the end of October 2017 after a wonderful experience of having, to us, undertaken a major building project that began with Andrew Long Architects. At our first meeting with the Architect we discussed the primary objectives that we wanted to achieve in the project and looked at other jobs that needed doing building wise in the house and grounds. We rolled everything into the one project. Following on from that first meeting the Architect then came back with his initial ideas which we found very exciting. The site of our house is challenging because it is on a hill and slopes top to bottom and side to side. There are some mature trees on the boundary. These two factors present challenges that were resolved through the structural engineer that the Architect brought in. The site is not rectangular but has some interesting angles on it which the architect related to in his design with the result that the new extension and rebuilt terrace work in harmony with the shape of the site. From our first meeting we were helped and guided every step of the way. At no time did we feel we were being told what we had to have and suggestions were given with regard to different products to consider when deciding on what finishes we would like. This enabled us to go and see the products for ourselves which really helped in the decision process. One of these is a big feature window which is spectacular. During a course of meetings when the design was honed we felt we got to know the Architect and were confident in putting our complete trust in him and the team at Andrew Long Architects to forward the project through planning, finding a contractor to do the work and project manage the build. All of which were done excellently. We are delighted with the results and have no hesitation in recommending Andrew Long Architects.
