Dreyer Architecture

I have worked with Kim on a couple of projects and would happily do so again. His creativity and attention to detail in listening to our endless "wish lists" and translating them to reality is amazing. He has a knack of coming up with creative solutions that surpasses expectations and creates a space that is a pleasure to live in. Both of our projects were renovations and the final products were truly transformational, yet kept the core character of the original space. He provides practical & energy efficient solutions and delivers to an extremely high specification within client budget. Kim managed our projects from design though to finished build and was an invaluable support through the entire process and worked closely not just with us but also with his recommended builders to ensure on time and on budget delivery to the highest standards. He is extremely personable and reassuring and alleviates any worries that might be going through your mind - and when you see the final product it is amazing!

Kim is a hugely talented and thoughtful architect. When it came to designing our new home, Kim made sensitive and prescient insights into how we want to live, in an ideal sense, and how the building would meet our needs in terms of our desired lifestyle. In the end, the reality far exceeded our expectations when the true wisdom of his ideas came to life, and they continue to come to life in a timeless way that we never tire of. Can’t recommend Kim Dreyer highly enough.

Kim Dreyer was recommended to us through friends when we were having difficulty with planning for a new build and we still feel very lucky to have engaged him to build our new home. He managed to take all of our wish list items and our personal tastes in design style and created a house that is truly outstanding and beyond all of our expectations. From the beginning his methodical, efficient and responsive manner was so reassuring. His practical solutions and ideas on all aspects of the build from the early planning and design stages, to the build project management through to post completion snags were always excellent. Even when faced with challenges Kim’s calm, decisiveness and creative approach proved worth its weight in gold. He also always gave us his time when needed and communication was always excellent. He has a great positivity. All of this aside, his true skills lie in his exceptional design and creative abilities. Everything is considered in detail from effects of orientation of the house to the views he so carefully captured. The result has been a truly stunning and beautifully designed home which attests to all of the above. We highly recommend Kim for any project.

We have worked with Kim on several projects, both personal and professional. We love his innate sense of design, aesthetic and his ability to work with period properties as well as modern. He has always been extremely conscientious, thorough and professional. We would highly recommend using Dreyer architecture.

Dreyer Architecture worked with us to design and and build a light-filled extension that was sympathetic to our period house, a protected structure from the 1830s. The project involved new kitchen and dining areas, as well as utility room, pantry and bathroom. Almost two years on, I can confidently say it's a great success, changing how we live day to day and use the garden. Kim was always thoughtful, creative and responsive to our needs and ideas, with a reassuring empathy to the existing building in terms of proportions, detailing and materials. And it works wonderfully.
