Sophie Bates Architects

We never imagined that our light filled, beautifully designed garden room and adjoining lift lobby would give us such pleasure to live in. Sophie’s expert attention to detail, when listening to our requirements and subsequently delivering and managing such a successful scheme was outstanding and we would highly recommend her to competently design and complete any project presented to her.

We commissioned Sophie to work magic on our very rundown property. We had a few ideas of what we wanted but Sophie added so much more imagination, ideas and flair to our project. She was always punctual, got great quotes for all the work, and all round did an outstanding job. We will most definitely engage Sophie again the next time we have a renovation.

"Our favourite part of the project is the way light is considered and falls within our home. During the day, light falls with purpose and accentuates the right parts of the house. In the evening, again the way the lighting has been considered means that our home glows with warmth, comfort and purpose. We absolutely love our new space that Sophie helped us to create.

Sophie worked on a large loft extension and exterior refurb of our detached house. Sophie is creative with many ideas on interior and exterior. Creative in her use of materials and also has a very practical knowledge of what works. She is very thorough with detailed drawings and estimates which really helped with the builders. Listens well to her client's brief, reliable and always follows up on what she has agreed to. We had a few issues with richmond planners but sophie very patient and creative working these through with them. Highly recommended.

Sophie delivered a stylish design impeccably in line with all aspects of our brief. She was a delight to deal with: always smiley, available, prompt and great can do attitude. We felt in good hands as she is very knowledgeable and has a good attention to detail. She was also brilliant at advising on various options regarding materials, suppliers and other professionals, which saved us a lot of time. I would definitely use Sophie again.

Sophie understood the brief from the start. She delivered beautiful design ideas and solutions to create a modern family home. Working with Sophie was such a breeze, timescale was met and expectations were definitely achieved. I would recommend Sophie without hesitation. AH

Sophie worked with me to transform my dark Victorian kitchen into a beautiful, light filled family kitchen dining room. Sophie was professional and reliable at all times, I have no hesitation to recommend her as an architect, my project came in on time and on budget. Sophie managed the building team and kept me informed at every stage, she was a pleasure to work with.
