studio: MASS

I have come across Mass on a project that I was working on and I was impressed with the level of detail in his work, I’ve decided to use his services on a personal project and as expected I have received a brilliant service, It was so easy to work with him, he designed a beautiful project and his knowledge of planning rules meant that we had planning permission granted on the first try I will be more than happy to recommend his services

We are delighted with Rob’s work. He listened to us and has worked hard to change our old Victorian house into a dream. He’s helped us make big decisions and found the best use of space. Studio Mass are everything we hoped for. Plus they’ve done all the paperwork - much of which I would get totally lost in. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Highly recommended. My East London project (a total refurb in a conservation area) was done while I was away from the country. Robert helped me with all aspects of it and we achieved what we wanted. He was kind, helpful, creative, answered all my questions and communicated well with the builder. I am very happy with my house. Still have not met Robert and will work with him again. Thank you Robert.

Excellent Service.... Thats you call get it first time right. We are very happy that Rob managed the whole process smoothly, fluently and to a very positive outcome. We got the planning approved before the time. Highly recommended. Just thinking why I didnt find Rob before when had my first extension project done :)

Robert was transparent and professional from the start. He clearly set out the services and the value he could bring to our project (which is an extension and renovation of a Victorian terraced house in East London) and we've been so impressed by his breadth of knowledge and willingness to advise on all elements of a home renovation - from consent and planning to design and dealing with the contractors. We would definitely use Robert again in the future and would recommend Studio:MASS to anyone looking to undertake a similar project.

Robert has been brilliant, really listened to what we wanted to achieve from the project and worked really hard to bring our ideas and vision to life all while bringing great innovative ideas on space and layout. Thanks Robert for all your help.

It was a pleasure to work with Rob on the designs for our renovation project. This was our first time embarking on such works and he listened carefully to what we wanted, was patient as our ideas evolved over time and was communicative throughout. Our planning permission came through straightaway with no amendments required and he has helped us with the tender process. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

It’s my first time taking on a large project, such as a single storey rear and double storey side extension, therefore relied heavily on Robert’s expertises. He was very patient, accommodating and knowledgable. I would definitely work with him again and would recommend him to family and friends.

Studio Mass were fantastic with our loft conversion. They guided us through the options available in an awkward space, took care of the applications, and their knowledge of the planning and development processes were invaluable. They are a perfect mix of creativity and practicality.

Robert was a great partner to me while I was planning my rear extension and garden room. My flat is a 1 bed ground floor double fronted Victorian property from about 1880 and was a difficult project due to already limited lighting in the flat. He proposed an interior courtyard to get light into the second bedroom and a clever sunken tub in the bathroom to maximise the small space. He is very technical and drew up my many revisions quickly as we worked through the project. He also helped me with submitting all the planning permissions and working through my very tricky party wall agreements with my freeholder and an absentee neighbour. All of which he handled perfectly.

I have worked with Robert on a number of projects. He is very professional and knowledgeable approach with an easy and relaxed style which makes the overall experience enjoyable. Always on hand to offer creative suggestions and practical solutions. Robert provide a comprehensive presentation to the local council and was instrumental in securing planning permissions. I look forward to collaborating with him on my future projects. Living Projects Group Ltd.

Working with studio Mass was a positive experience. Being new to planning the process was clearly explained and the whole proceeded with some ease. We will be working with them as we move onto other related projects.

Robert at Studio:MASS has been excellent, guiding us through the whole process from the day we bought the property. We bought a house in a conservation area in London that needed major upgrades to the floorplan, including a side return extension and a loft conversion. Other Architects we spoke to said we would never get planning permission for what we wanted to achieve, but Robert put together a very compelling pack and our application got accepted. He was very receptive and patient with us as we kept changing our minds on minor issues relating to the floorplans, and he gave us very honest and useful advice throughout the process. Thanks to his creativity, he managed to get the two extra bedrooms we wanted without compromising other spaces and added a lot of natural light. When we first started this process we were very clueless, and Robert's guidance has been a blessing (and very transparent, which we appreciate). We will be recommending Studio:MASS to all friends and neighbours and will be using their services for our party wall agreement too.

We live in a conservation area and our application for loft conversion was rejected twice by the council in the past. Studio : MASS was recommended to us by a neighbour. Robert was very professional and thorough on his initial visit. I was very impressed by his drawings and I could sense that Robert was quietly confident of a successful outcome from the planning department. After trying for about 8 years with a few other architects, our planning application for loft conversion finally was approved by the council a few days before Christmas. Robert's first drawing was approved by the council without any modification. Robert kept in touch with us throughout the application process and was very patient in answering our every question. I would highly recommend Studio : MASS.

Robert at studio: MASS has been brilliant at helping me get planning permission for my new front door. I was having difficulties getting a new door for my Grade II listed flat in Tower Hamlets. Robert came round for an initial consultation and provided the architect drawings for the project as well as managing the application with the council. The application was approved without issue. Many thanks for a great job, would definitely recommend.

This is the second time I used Rob’s firm to design my home. I never got to build based on his rear extension drawings for my previous home but they were very useful when selling the house. The recent project was more comprehensive with a 3 storey extension addition to my house. Rob was great at listening and helping me realise my vision, and may I add extremely patient! I am particular about detail and we went through quite a few options to reach the final design. Throughout, he was reliable and really fast in coming back to me. He is knowledgeable and gave me sound advice with regards to options and choice of materials etc. He offered several 3D renditions to help me decide on the design. He also remained involved over the construction period which was extremely helpful. I would not hesitate to hire Rob again, have recommended him and will continue to do so

Worked a number of times with Rob and will continue to do so. Very professional, punctual, great attention to detail and knows his stuff. I highly rate his problem solving skills and his ability to find a solution that works. He takes the stress out of projects and is a pleasure to work with.

We hired Rob as our architect from a friend's recommendation to draw plans for a ground floor extension, first floor extension and loft conversion . Rob did a stellar job. His communication was excellent. He was highly approachable, knowledgeable and friendly . His drawings, 3D designs, statement design and entire application were of very high quality. We live in a conservation area which is is quite tough and he dealt with the pre-planning meeting and the entire process seamlessly. We were granted approval first time. In fact, the whole process has been faultless so far; Rob is now doing our technical drawings/building regulations and we confident he will deliver . I would not hesitate to highly recommend .

We instructed Rob to carry out the planning drawings and application for the refurb and extension of our detached cottage in Nottinghamshire and couldn’t of been more pleased with the results! Rob visited our property to measure up and get a full understanding of the brief and whilst he took on board everything that we were hoping to achieve, he also gave a lot of input into how we could do things differently and came up with a lot of ideas himself which we implemented into the design and we are very pleased with the results. Rob also produced some 3-D visualisations which really helped us gain an understanding of how the project would look when it was complete. We now have full planning granted with no conditions and we have instructed Rob to continue with the building regulations drawings. We are looking forward to working with him again as he assists the builders in the completion of the build. We would have no reservations in recommending Studio : Mass

Robert and I have worked together on a number of projects. The drawings and proposals are always clear and together we work to find the best structural engineering solution for the client & their project.

Starting from Pre application advice with council to successfully obtaining planning permission, Robert has been professional throughout and has streamlined the process for me.

We had bought a 1 bed basement flat that had a garden in Richmond and we wanted to convert it to a two bed flat with an extension to the rear. This was a very tight space to work with but Rob not only managed to manipulate the layout to get the second bedroom to work and provide the open plan living that we were after, he also suggested that we build a log cabin style building at the end of the garden with an en-suite included. This versatile additional space could be used as an addition guest bedroom, a home office or even a cinema room. Rob is very reliable and has an excellent technical knowledge. No problem was too difficult to overcome and he went over and above with the service he promised. 5 stars.
