“The garage conversion that Stephen undertook for us has been a complete success and enabled us to make use of what was a dead storage space. Stephen quickly understood our needs and provided designs ideas for us to evaluate. Whenever we needed input on the design and build he was quick to respond and this meant we could rely on him to keep the project on time and budget.
We are delighted with the result and everyone comments on what a great space it is. We generally used it as a home office and studio but it has also been used for parties. Stephen helped us to solve a number of problems and we still have a good storage area because an extension was created without spoiling the aesthetic of what is an attractive tile hung building.
The designs had been well thought through and we didn’t encounter any major problems in the planning process. The garage conversion has added significantly to the quality and value of our home. We would be happy to recommend Stephen Waldron Architects.”
What impressed us about Stephen, from the outset, was his willingness to work within the budget with which we felt comfortable.
Rather than approach him with an idea of what we wanted, we instead presented him with the problems we were trying to solve and our perceived needs and nice-to-haves.
What we got from this was a series of ideas, many of which we had not thought of, that stimulated us to think about our home in ways we had not done before.
“Stephen Waldron Architects came alongside us as a small but rapidly growing film production company. He understood our needs and the critical timing key to successful seamless transition for the company between locations. At the same time our budget was ridiculously tight! We couldn’t afford to wait for complex and lengthy local authority negotiations over means of scape and disabled access to this first floor studio space that our agents had warned us of and his negotiations had to be right first time.
With a competitive fee, they were able to produce creative, effective and flexible solutions to all our many problems coming in fast succession. The result is a team here that love the sense of space; our clients often comment on how different our offices feel to visit.
We will definitely be working with Stephen Waldron Architects again and highly recommend him.

We weren’t sure what to expect when we asked Stephen Waldron to design an extension for our small Edwardian terraced house. After an initial meeting he quickly interpreted all our ideas and gave us a beautiful open plan living space which we now live in. Thanks Stephen, it’s perfect.
Do you remember we spoke and you asked me if I believe in miracles, indeed I do believe in them. Meeting a man of your calibre ie a very knowledgeable and decent man is no less than a miracle!
Stephen Waldron approached our rather small roof extension project with enthusiasm and care. He treated our house and our opinions respectfully, always listening to our many questions and answering or helping us answer them.
Not only were we happy with the design process but we were also grateful for Stephen’s extensive knowledge of materials, new technologies and his great experience of local planning procedures and building regulations.
I especially appreciated his allowance for ‘good light’, his meticulous efforts to fit our staircase in and his final bill – which came in under budget. I can’t complain about that!
We now enjoy our views daily.”
