Orange Design Studio

Me and my husband started meeting builders, architects, designers and interior designers mid 2017 to discuss the extension of our home. Jake stood out from the crowd showing enthusiasm and passion for our project and his work at Orange Design Studio. We hired Orange Design Studio to carry out design works for the extension of our Grade II listed house. They created a number of fantastic schemes that addressed our brief, but also come up with another scheme that was something we hadn't even thought about. It enabled us to create something that was contemporary, open zone and light in a house that was segmented, dark and traditional. Jake advised us that planning may be a challenge due to the site been in a conservation area and with the property been listed. However, they submitted and oversaw the planning process, addressing the planners comments and conservation officer comments. We were really surprised and delighted when he called to say that planning had been approved and we could now move on to the next stage. Shortly after we then received a very thorough and extensive drawing package that covered every detail along with the schedule of works, specification and health and safety documentation. Essentially it was everything we needed to get the construction project going. Which for a couple like us two, who have no experience in building, was a great relief. It also put a lot of confidence in us for Jake and his team at Orange. We tell everyone we know considering extending, or building a new home to give Orange a call. Jake and his team were absolutely 10/10 and made the whole process enjoyable. We highly recommend! L & I

Jake and his team at Orange Design Studio have been an absolute pleasure to deal with on our project. After reading several positive reviews we organised to meet him at our property to discuss potential options and to learn a little bit about what Orange Design Studio could offer us. They were punctual with timings, efficient in their project costings and we felt like they controlled the project really well. They provided us with a number of fantastic options, all of which were truly original and we hadn't imagined been able to have something with such creativity integrated into our project. We worked with Jake to pull together what we liked to form our final scheme. After that Orange swiftly managed the planning and building control process with ease. They dealt with planners and neighbours questions without having any effect on our scheme which meant the planning process was completely stress-free! Jake and his team also have a number of contractors on board, all of whom seem very professional and take pride in their work. Again, as Orange looked after the costings and the project management aspects of the project, it meant we could sit back and relax whilst our project came together. In the end, we are completely over the moon with the design, finished space and the quality of the build. We are so very happy that we decided to work with Jake and the team at Orange Design Studio. They provided a fantastic vision, with the knowledge and experience to be able to implement the project in a very cost effective and efficient way. Andrew.

I highly recommend orange Design Studio. Jake and his team have been absolutely amazing with my new extension layout and drawings whilst ensuring it all went through planning and building regs smoothly. They are very professional and have produced well drawn plans for me. I am very pleased with their price and overall quality of service and they have proved themselves to be a highly capable business. A pleasure to do business with! Thank you Orange Design Studio - Architecture for all your hard work and help.

Orange Design Studio based in Mirfield have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Jake Hinchliffe, the director has worked tirelessly to produce thorough and comprehensive plans to redevelop and extend a converted detached cottage and barn. The property once had small dark rooms with small windows that blocked a view that can only be described as outstanding. It now presents open plan living with underfloor heating and bespoke architectural features. Two very impressive and sophisticated skylights allow natural light to flood across the space in conjunction with floor to ceiling, low profile sliding doors, that take full advantage of the views across the picturesque valley and the iconic landmark of Castle Hill. Not only is the result superb, Jake is very personable and so easy to communicate with; I highly recommend Orange Design Studio.

Jake took the time to get to know myself and my husband and then came up with a brilliant design . Jake not only designed our project, but also helped with finding materials, builders , etc which made the whole job so much easier. He is a calming influence when things don’t go to plan. We love our home and that’s down to Jake if you are wanting something modern with a bit of a twist we would highly recommend him. Make sure you have plenty of tea bags and flap jack in when he visits!!!

Jake is a fantastic architect who is highly creative and visionary and also very practical and technically minded. His scope of services were flexible and adaptable to suit our requirements and excellent value for money. He was always happy to help out with queries and offer advice, and is still continuing to do so now that we are starting on site. Would highly recommend Jake to anyone embarking on a project!

Orange Design Studio has designed a number of bespoke developments for us over the last couple of years. Their aspiration for fantastic design is at the forefront of their work. Pushing us to create something different in every scheme. They have always been very attentive with their construction drawing packages, but also extremely easy to work with on and off site. Our latest project was the Westfields Lodge conversion and extension. The scheme looks fantastic and also made the final to the northern design awards 2016! I would highly recommend Jake and his team at Orange Design Studio.

I have worked with Jake at Orange on many projects over the last few years. Working alongside Jake in a professional capacity, his work ethic, vision and attention to detail are second to none ensuring that all projects are completed on time, to a high standard and within budget.

From the way Orange Design first worked with us, understanding our needs, revising the drawings, making practical suggestions, obtaining all the necessary planning and building control permissions – through to the way they managed the tendering process on our behalf, approaching builders and then making frequent site visits during the build phase, it was all reassuring to know that we had a professional we could rely on and call on as the various needs arose.
