“Atelier Brown have provided us with a full architectural service between 2020 and 2023. During this time they have expertly guided us through lengthy, complex preplanning and full planning applications for our project on a site of historic interest, progressing to the tender process and subsequent hire of a principal contractor as well as many subcontractors. They have diligently overseen the build of our significant extension though to its successful completion and sign off in December 2023. They have an exacting eye for detail and a comprehensive first hand knowledge of all aspects of the building industry, meaning they always had workable solutions to the few problems encountered on site ready to hand, and they have consistently gone above and beyond to deliver a superb result for us. Their artistic flair has helped us evolve and achieve the look internally that we were wishing for also. We found this company by chance, and consider ourselves extremely fortunate, as they have been responsible for the execution of such a smooth project. We cannot recommend them highly enough, for any project big or small.”

“Our experience of working with Atelier Brown has been outstanding from start to finish. 

I started looking for an architect partner for a new major renovation project I was working on back in 2023.  We had bought an old chalet style bungalow in half an acre of garden and had ideas of how we wanted to better use the available space, how we wanted to live, and how important it was for us that the house and garden were better connected. I attended several shows including Grand Designs and the Build It Live show and spoke to several architects, but they all typically gave me the same reply … “Knock it down and start again!”.  We had a very tight budget, and our focus was on adding more living space - so knocking it down was not an option as we had insufficient money to cover the re-build of a house of a similar size.  

I found Atelier Brown online and  I was immediately impressed with their speed of response, their willingness to respond to the brief and the examples they provided of their previous work.  It showed their flexibility in working with the character of existing buildings and their creativity and attention to architectural and interior design.  They demonstrated that they could bring modern touches whilst also preserving the character of the existing property.

We appointed Atelier Brown in February 2024, and they immediately set to work on brainstorming ideas.  They took on board all our hopes and wishes for the final house and listened carefully to all the complex requirements we stipulated.  After a few creative iterations we hit upon a design that had everything we hoped for and more! They led both the architectural work and the interior design.  Tom is an absolute pleasure to work with.  He is kind, patient, passionate about his work and incredibly committed to delivering outstanding work that the client loves.

Our final design connects the house and garden as if it were one, it brings light into all the rooms and opens the existing rooms giving beautiful aspects from all angles.  Atelier Brown also brought incredible touches like pop-out windows and glass atriums to connect the different wings of the house.   They introduced elements to the design that we would never have imagined.  Details like the garden rill and sunken patio, the innovative shape of the west wing and the split vaulted ceiling in the garden room are just a few of the amazing ideas they brought to the project. We were also impressed with the quality and detail of their technical drawings and how Atelier Brown gave their time to support conversations with the potential kitchen providers and our chosen builder.  

Overall, it has been an amazing experience from start to finish.   I cannot recommend Atelier Brown more highly, and cannot thank them enough for their creativity, passion, energy and patience. If I do undertake another renovation project in the future, I will be sure to come right back to them.”

“At Seako Construction we have worked with Atelier Brown across a number of projects, as both a construction partner and developer client, and the service and support provided by the team has been consistently excellent - we would highly recommend working with them!”

— Ms F Seabright, Seako Construction Group Ltd

“We used Atelier Brown on a new build Barn Style project where they skilfully re-imagined and re-configured the build within the constraints of the inherited granted planning permission such that only variation was required. The resultant property slotted seamlessly into its surroundings and sold on the first day of viewings with multiple offers received. We will be happy to be working with them again on another project in the near future.”

— Mr J Mallows, Elwyn Barton Homes Ltd

“Atelier Brown’s services helped us re-imagine our project completely. They helped us utilise the existing space we had to its full potential without needing to extend the property which we thought was not possible. Their high level of detail and bold designing helped us get the look we wanted and have the house we dreamed of become reality. I would recommend them to everyone, even if you think you have it all figured out. They listened to our requirements and designed something around us and found things we didn’t even know we needed. Thank you once again.”

— Mr A McManus, Milton Keynes

“The team were extremely helpful at all times and happy to adapt their plans to meet our requirements and ideas. They dealt with the planners with experience and we had no issues. We would happily recommend Atelier Brown and would use them again.”

— Mrs J Reynolds, Guilden Morden

“Atelier Brown helped draw up plans to extend a three bedroom semi-detached home. The plans provided a simple, modern, cost-effective, multi-level extension, making efficient use of the space available. This allowed us to add a downstairs bathroom, study and utility, as well an additional master bedroom. They were very helpful at providing us with different options throughout the process and helping us to understand the pros and cons of different ideas we had for the extension. I'd thoroughly recommend the professional service they provided for us”

— Mr D Anderson, St Albans

“The team at Atelier Brown were very easy to deal with, and came up with some innovative design ideas for us, after a helpful consultation session. Their work has allowed us to consider how to progress with the project with contractors, etc. I'd thoroughly recommend their services.”

“I asked Atelier Brown to design a remodel for my living space to let in more light to my dark living room area. They came round twice, considered my needs (minimal disruption) and came up with a plan that seemed right for my space and budget. They were courteous, warm and prompt with designs and engaging structural engineers to complete the plans. I am completely happy with the results and I am now engaging a builder to complete the project.”

— Mrs L Terry, Stevenage

“We were very impressed with the service we received from day 1 until completion of our kitchen extension. Atelier Brown helped us create our dream kitchen and made the process very easy and extremely fast, such a great service. Would not hesitate to recommend them.”
