Hampshire Architect

It was a pleasure to meet Carrie. She listened intently to my requirements and came up with excellent solutions that I would never have thought of myself. I likedthat each stage is separate and can be paid for individually. I didn't feel rushed, all charges were transparent and she returned the designs to me both electronically and by post before expected. I do not hesitate in recommending her services.

A loft conversion of our bungalow a few years ago left us with an awkward lounge layout and we needed some help to explore what could be done. We booked an initial consultation with Carrie. Carrie helped us to explore exactly what wasn't working for us now and options to consider for alternatives. Carrie was professional, approachable, a good listener and her drawings and advice have given us the springboard to move forward with our plans.

Carrie at Hampshire Architect has been extremely helpful in taking us through the process for our kitchen redesign. The process has been informative, friendly and professional. I am confident we will have support all the way through to final project delivery. We would recommend Carrie for home improvements large or small.

Carolyn assisted us with a feasibility project. She came to our home, involved us in the process, ensuring our requirements were met but in addition suggested other options we hadn't thought of to add value to the project. Carolyn is very artistic and sketched our combined ideas in front of us, using her wealth of experience to draw upon. She made a number of valuable suggestions and provided outline costings for the project which has enabled us to decide on the feasibility of it. We were impressed with her friendly professional approach and would highly recommend her service.

I recommend Carolyn without hesitation. We re-visited some old plans for a single-storey extension that had never been carried out. Carolyn was very helpful, looking at these with fresh eyes and bringing them up to date, listening and responding to various worries I had about the build. I particularly liked the fact that we could carry out the process in stages and also well-adapted to social distancing requirements. The project is now finished, two years later, with her ideas translated into reality. It is a joy to walk into the kitchen each morning - thanks to Carolyn and her associate, Alex Carr, for the excellent and affordable advice and design work.

Carrie was a true professional. She came to us well prepared and provided sound advice and information that we needed to make our decisions easy. I would highly recommend her services.

Carrie is very experienced and really helpful. Listened to what we had to say and helped us with thinking about plans for our home. Excellent advice but more importantly great ideas and discussion to help us think through what we want to do. We could not have been more pleased.

We contacted Carrie having read the online reviews and looked at her website. We are considering having our 20 year old conservatory(built by former owners) demolished and a relatively large extension built in its place. Along with some internal remodelling the aim is to give ourselves a large kitchen/dining room/family area with separate utility room and addition snug.Communication was prompt and courteous advising there would be a fair wait before she could visit should we wish to proceed due to the busy home improvement sector at the moment. We decided to wait as she clearly specialised in the kind of project we had in mind and said as much.When Carrie visited she was easy to talk to and genuinely seemed to want us to make our home better. She quickly understood our ideas around the work we were considering undertaking and whilst taking this into account wasn’t shy in suggesting changes for budgetary, practical or aesthetic reasons. At the time of writing this review we have had our initial sketches and budget costings through. These have captured perfectly what was discussed and agreed whilst offering a plethora of options and professional advice. Carrie’s experience and expertise was clear from the outset and, perhaps most importantly we felt like she was listening and understanding us whilst using her skills to guide the eventual design. We’re just deciding whether to proceed with the build as the estimate is more than our initial budget but are very happy with the service provided and will, if we go ahead be sticking closely to the design.

Carrie had some great ideas for our house remodel and after a few hours with all of us around the table we ended up with a design we love.Carries knowledge and experience made working with her a pleasure.

Carrie was fantastic. She came out for a consultation and ended up staying the entire day. In that time she helped develop our plans, measure up the house, sketch out ideas and answer all of our questions. She really listens and has so many useful ideas. I thoroughly recommend her.
