Rise Cottage

What our clients said…

“As a result of the numerous extensions over the years we had ended up in a house in which many of the rooms were in effect ‘corridors’, both downstairs and up. We engaged Building Tectonics to do a Feasibility Scheme to re-design the interior layout. They came up with the idea to take out the existing stairs and move them to a central position which was radical but resolved many issues at a stroke. It gave us an entrance hallway, something that was not a problem when the house was a two up two down cottage but was much lacking in the house as it had developed. This was a real bonus since this was not even on our wish list.

Repositioning the stairs allowed the rooms to be connected together and together with the removal of a redundant chimney breast and various other structural alterations, gave us a house which is far more practical, where all rooms are accessible from the new hall and landing. The introduction of the central stairs has also helped to bring light to the centre of the house, which was lacking before the alterations. Convenience, light, saleability, beauty all in one hit. We have now engaged Building Tectonics to look at other aspects of the house and we wait with eager anticipation to see what they come up with.”

Edwardian House extension in Old Bletchley

What our clients said…

“We worked with Tony and Mike from Building Tectonics to put our ideas into practice, creating a new space to complement our existing edwardian terraced house. They guided us through the planning process advising us on what the planners would expect from our application. During the usual ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ of having an extension built Building Tectonics went the extra mile to support us through planning applications, party wall process and the build. The result is a fantastic extra space for our family to live in, giving us the home we want without having to move house.”

“Dear Tony Just a quick note to say a big thanks for all your help. After three years of trying to come up with a plan to obtain the best from our relatively small cottage, your solution of moving the kitchen (which we would never have thought of in a million years) has finally meant we can get on with the building work and have the house we have always dream’t of. As you know we spoke to other architects too but your thoroughness, attitude and innovative approach has left me in no doubt that Building Tectonics is the best architectural company we have dealt with. Not only do we get a better kitchen but a better lounge too. Can you now recommend a builder please. Kind regards Richard H Flint” October 28, 2010

“I recommended Tony to my parents-in-law as they were looking for someone to design a re-model/extension to their home. They were absolutely delighted with the plans drawn up by Tony. The work is completed now and thanks to Tony’s creative vision they have a beautiful new home. They were so impressed that they have now asked Tony to design a new garden room. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony to any of my family, friends and associates.” October 11, 2010

“My wife and I approached Tony in connection with a two storey extension to our house. We were both impressed with Tony’s ideas and flexibility as he moulded the design to meet our needs. His local knowledge and experience with the planning permission was handy and he was available and responsive throughout the building phase when unforeseen challenges in the structure of our house needed addressing. We have already recommended Tony to a friend and have no hesitation in continuing to recommend him and his company for architectural services.” October 13, 2010

“Our project added extensions to three sides of our existing house and required a complete redesign of both internal and external layout of our house. Tony worked on our initial requirements and wishes, and reworked the plans after receiving guidance from the local planning authority. He came up with an innovative design, incorporating modern materials and adding effective design features while making effective use of space, while at the same time ensuring local authority requirements were met. He also advised us effectively in finding the appropriate implementation partners for our project.” January 17, 2011
