Obespoke & Obbard Design & Development

Amazing people and service. So happy with the results Obbard have provided over the years. Always so friendly, helpful and dedicated. Couldn’t be happier. Obbard worked on the renovation of my flat in 2019, and I used them again in 2021 for renovating the balcony.

So helpful and friendly. They helped me find a house and then did work internally. Couldn't be more pleased.

We worked with Patti and her team on a delightful renovation project in South Kensington. I appreciated Patti’s sense of style and practicality when taking on board my Feng Shui guidance. The basement and ground floor were completely re-configured to provide a much more pleasant, light and airy space. The front garden also is a great improvement with a beautiful water feature and stunning statue. Happy to recommend Patti & her firm.

I have worked with Patti and Obbard for several years and they are quite simply the best in the business! I always recommend them to clients who are looking for visionary design, excellent quality and expert guidance in developing their property.

The lovely Obbard team have now done two major refurbishment jobs in my house and I can’t recommend them enough. Lovely people, nice to have around and they do a great job, from the initial design concept right through to final execution. And fully transparent on fees.

Obbard's design service is definitely a premium service. The quality was excellent, the creative input was just what we wanted (we were appropriately guided towards decisions we were happy with), our hands were held throughout. (This is particularly important as we are based overseas - so all was done at a distance). This is not a cheap option. However it was low touch when we wanted it to be low touch, and I had great confidence throughout that all would turn out well - as indeed it has. Hassle kept to a minimum and I always find the Obbard team to be very responsive in this and other matters.

Have worked with Patti / Obbard on a few different projects. I have always been hugely impressed with how all aspects of the project, from client satisfaction through to implementation on site is managed. All projects have their own unique issues, and Patti is one of the best at finding solutions on time. Adept at all aspects of a project from space management, design, just in time management, customer satisfaction through to implementation , Patti can be trusted to find the best solutions.

Obbard manage a rental flat in Kensington, London for me. Which was getting very tired looking and definitely under-achieving on its rental potential. Obbard's design wing (Obespoke) put together a fantastic, well-costed redesign proposal for me that completely transformed the value of the total floor-space, turning a drab living room into a bright, stylish and spacious kitchen/living area, and what was previously a slightly dull two bed ground floor flat (with one shower-room en suite and a separate bathroom) into a sleek, bright, modern three bedder with one bathroom/basin/loo and one shower-room/basin/loo ensuite and another separate (albeit v compact, but still totally comfortable) 3rd shower-room/basin/loo as well. I think they must have modelled their lay-out skills on the build for the Tardis! They managed the whole thing seamlessly from start to finish, right the way through to new furniture, soft furnishings and even little artefacts for various shelves. And I was kept informed of the detailed progress against the budget all the way through the build and consulted as and when needed. As a testament to how good the finished product was (and still is - the refurb was done through 2016) it rented at our top target rental the day after it was shown to a couple of agents (and for c£17k pa higher than we were achieving previously). If you want a top quality, well-managed job done, with maximum friendliness and the absolute minimum of fuss, then you couldn't find better.

We found Obespoke & Obbard to be extremely professional . They kept to budget and finished on time. The builders turned up at agreed time every day and cleared up every evening when they left - unlike previous builders we have used! We changed our minds on a couple of fairy major decisions during the building process and they were brilliant. Both Patti and Adrian had the vision and ideas where we didn’t - and they were proved right! Very, very pleased with the results.

When i first time met Patti and shared my concerns about future work in my flat. She looked at me and said softly, trust me, you are going to be OK. Today i moved in my flat, all work done in the highest standards and beyond my expectations. Now i need some help to unpack all my boxes and get rid of rubbish. Patti, can you help me please?

Over the last 3 years I've worked extensively with Obbard on various high-end residential projects, providing soft-furnishings and window dressings. The Obbard design briefs are always clear, well thought-out and to the highest standards of contemporary, luxury design and functionality. I rate Obbard as one of my favorite, design-savvy clients. Budgets, scope of works and time scales are always clearly defined which makes the process much easier from the supply point of view. Invoicing, payment and admin are always prompt. It is always a pleasure to deal with Obbard and I would recommend them whole-heartedly.
