Andy Paterson Architects

I Have worked for Andy Paterson,for many years, on several projects,from small furniture items to complete house builds.All projects receiving his great attention to detail.I would highly recommend this architect.

Working with Andy was a pleasure. We have a 70s town house which needed total refurbishment. His plan included gutting the building, a new staircase, moving the kitchen and bathrooms and installing a roof light to give us maximum light. We had weekly meetings with Andy before the re-building and he responded immediately to our ideas and budget by providing us with revised plans. He supervised the building works and his attention to detail was outstanding. 15 years on we are still delighted with our house and highly recommend him.

I am a director of a large construction firm and have engaged Andy Patterson several times to work both for your firm's projects and on your own houses, Andy has great ability & a good understanding of complex and unusual challenges. He very much 'gets' construction as well as being a creative and committed designer & he always adds an enjoyable & constructive approach to design meetings.

We engaged Ben Tanner of Andy Paterson Architects for extensive refurbishment and extension works at our Edwardian house in the countryside just outside Oxford, 2013 - 2014. We interviewed several architects and Ben impressed us with his immediate understanding of, and sympathy for, the brief we gave him, which was to update the house whilst preserving its 'arts & crafts' character. We found Ben very easy and pleasant to work with, and his stunning design for our extension has been widely admired. Ben's thoroughness and attention to detail in drawing up the Schedule of Works for the building tender proved invaluable, and he was very flexible in responding to and accommodating us towards the end of the building project when we ran into problems with the builder. We would very happily use Ben again.

Andy designed our new build home about 10 years ago, taking many iterations through the long and difficult planning process, with the house being in a conservation area and on a site with many access challenges. Andy's commitment to the project has been outstanding throughout, despite difficult contractors. His attention to detail was second to none, both in design and budget. He researched and proposed many of the fittings, including lighting, which take the house to a whole new level of excellence, as commented upon by all who have seen it. Andy was always at the other end of the phone, even when he was on holiday! We can't praise him highly enough in every respect and very much hope to avail ourselves of his services in the future.

Andy is working on my renovation of a cottage and barn in North Wales. Fabulous architect full of imagination, innovative ideas and deeply practical and knowledgeable with it. And has great patience with numerous changes of plan and scope and budget.
