Damien & Marie Hogan

John and his team at WMA took us through the initial design, developed design (including planning) and detailed design stages on our passive house project. Throughout the project they demonstrated exceptional levels of knowledge around home design, energy efficiency and passive house. The team were always friendly and accommodating while maintaining high levels of professionalism in managing deadlines and budgets. We thoroughly enjoyed working with John and his team in designing our home and have no hesitation in providing the highest recommendation possible.

After 5 years of struggling to obtain planning permission on a prominent coastal site and wanting to build a certified Passivhaus we contacted John Morehead of WMA Architects. John produced a very contemporary, exciting design based on our brief and tailored to the site with available spectacular views, which passed planning first time round. Many did not believe it possible to build his design to passive standard as it was far from a regular “box” but the attention to detail at WMA and their continuous monitoring of the build achieved the desired result. We can highly recommend John and the WMA team for their flair, insight, knowledge of passive design and products and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly and was built to plan. We are now living in a fantastic, soon to be, Passive Certified / BER A1 rated house that is just so comfortable and special ! – Thank you to all at WMA (our new best friends). Nick & Annie

We hired John and his team when we failed to get planning on a difficult site. Right from the beginning we knew we were in safe hands. John sailed us through the planning stage and designed the house of our dreams. Nothing was ever a problem or an issue and unlike some architects he listened to us as much as we listened to him. Four years on & the support we are still getting is fantastic. Would highly recommend Wain Morehead to anyone starting a project.

The clients on one of my domestic projects appointed WMA to advise on energy efficient design and detailing. I found WMA a pleasure to work with, full of useful advice, and with years of experience in the field. I would be happy to collaborate with them again or recommend them.
