Basement Conversion

“Eva provides a unique and really useful service. In 2 hours she gave me scaled drawings of 4 options to change the layout of the kitchen/living/dining space. As an architect she understands light and space plus the practical implications of changes.I am really excited now about taking it forward with Eva.”

“We engaged BDA to plan a renovation and extension of a 1930s build 3 bed semi. The renovation and extension involved a complete gutting of the existing building, extending to the back and new insulation. Alan Burns was our architect for the duration of the project. He helped assemble our team of builder (AK Builders), engineer (Robert Barry) and energy consultant (Arthur O Donnell) for the project and were more than satisfied with the result. BDA presented us with several designs and once we agreed on a final design they ran the tendering process and vetted the winner. All aspects of the project were over seen to a considerable level of detail by BDA and we had weekly site meetings to go over progress and address changes. We also utilised their optional fixtures and fittings advice and were accompanied to various blinds, lighting, kitchen and bathroom showrooms by Alan. We found his to be one of the best features as we simply did not have the time or expertise to apply the level of practical consideration that Alan provided before choosing our kitchen and bathroom. Also having Alan on board at this level meant that the builder had all rooms ready and correctly measured up for the delivery of the fixtures. Alan was present at all times during the project either by email or phone and never once delayed in giving us assistance or advice when we needed it. Post project snags were address by the builder and BDA were also heavily involved in this part of the process, ensuring that the original spec was fully realised. I would have no hesitation I recommending Bright Design Architects to anyone requiring their services.”

“Patrycja was a pleasure to work with. Very professional and creative. I would have no hesitation recommending her. We are delighted with our extension.”

“A very high end service. We have used this company twice over the last 3 years for a kitchen extension and an attic bedroom conversion which also included a brand new roof and insulation. We had our attic staircase spindles replicated from the original staircase. Extremely happy with both projects. From start to finish Dave Thompson and his team have provided us with an elite service, a high level of finish and attention to detail. Great communicator and had finished both jobs on time. His sympathetic approach to period home restoration allowed us to create an attic space that looked like it was always part of the original house layout.”

“He designed our new living room and kitchen very nice, in a very short time and we are very happy with the professional service.”

“My project was the conversion of a small North facing Kitchen into a modern living area. From the beginning Anne displayed enthusiasm interest and practical knowledge in her work. Her opinions were always valued and appropriate. Her support was ongoing and her commitment to getting it right was very impressive. Her clear thought process and practicality were much appreciated. Her emphasis on maximum use of space and natural light worked wonderfully. The result was a very impressive bright warm living area… the result for which I had hoped. I would heartily recommend Anne on the basis of my most satisfactory dealings with her.”

“This Professional Architect, Fergus Flanagan, came recommeded to us by the local County Council Office. We quickly built a good relationship with Fergus due to his professional attitude, confidence and excellent outlay of plans. He was also a good listener and respected our ideas. We were happy with the follow up and attention to detail and found Fergus and his staff practical, efficent and a pleasure to do business with.”

“David designed the perfect family living space that wraps around the ground level of our home. It is the building equivalent of a hug! It provides space to meet everyone's needs and has added extra light in what was otherwise an underused dark space.”

“Dear Matty, Nick and team, I’m finally getting around to thanking you for the fantastic job you did on my house. Everyone is so impressed and the architect actually asked me to let him know if I was ever considering selling! High praise from a man who loves good workmanship. It looks like it was here for generations even though it's less than a year old, but it has all the comforts of modern building standards. Thanks for making all the finishing bits so easy, from awkward shaped tiles to the amazing parquet floor. And all my friends have wardrobe envy – the doors turned out perfectly, and they are really in keeping with the old look of the house. I absolutely love the finished floor in the hall … It’s a real showpiece when people come in. Thanks for never minding when I changed the plan! I really think I’ve ended up with one of the nicest houses in the country and your multiple skills, attention to detail and approachability were huge contributors. Good luck with your future projects and feel free to send anyone who wants to see your work to look at my house – I love showing it off!”

“Ronan's attention to detail was very important at both planning & construction stages to minimise queries from planners & our builder, respectively. Ronan's awareness of the construction of sustainable buildings was also very evident in the construction drawings for our home, which was key to the house being as efficient as possible. The end result is a light filled, energy efficient building that is contemporary in design but at its heart is very much a family home. From design through to construction completion, Ronan has always been very professional to deal with and we would have no hesitation in recommending Ronan as an architect.”
