Our plans for alterations and extensions to a property in the Brecon Beacons National Park deliver the WOW! factor.
Stephen Waldron Architects was commissioned to design, obtain detailed-planning consent, and provide a full set of construction information for the conversion of a small stable block into two holiday cottages.
Simple but radical transformation of a garage to extend the house.
Few sane people would have taken on this semi-derelict set of three small barns with trees growing out of the walls! This ongoing project continues to thrill!
Remodelling of a recently purchased home to accommodate a growing family, plus addition of a ‘man-den’ in the garden.
The addition of attic room space for to a bungalow in Treorchy enables a brother and sister to live in their forever home – each with their own space.
I employed Stephen Waldron Architects Ltd two years ago with the aim of attaining planning permission on a number of plots in the Pontardawe area.
It has been a pleasure working with Stephen in this time and I found him exceptionally knowledgeable and as a result, very easy to work with.
The project was potentially problematic due to its location; however Stephen approached it logically, using great design to overcome any reservations the local authority had.
Stephen was prompt in returning my calls and emails and kept me notified of every step of the process. The project required excellent communication skills and a degree of flexibility in dealing with the local authority planning office, which Stephen exhibited on a number of occasions, helping the applications go through as trouble-free as possible.
Stephen is a very likeable person which I’m sure counts in his clients’ favour when dealing with local authorities, and I found his approach to be very professional, with a personal touch.
I would definitely approach Stephen in relation to any future projects, and I would strongly recommend him to others.
I am writing to thank you for preparing the plans and writing a detailed building specification for my garage conversion. You understood my requirements, you were happy to make changes, and you provided me with extra copies upon request.
Your attention to detail and recommendations, based upon your vast experience, were very helpful , and I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone requiring your services.
Like many architects, Stephen works alongside his clients, but it’s his inspirational response to exploring a design from the very outset that creates momentum to many challenging projects.
He fully interpreted our Brief, but also evolved his designs as different aspects of the project evolved
He was exactly on time and understood the potential administrative issues with planning etc and had allowed a realistic buffer to accommodate these
Stephen has always been very competitive, but brings the full weight of his experience and advice
He did more than add value, he inspired some of the foundational directions of the design, after hearing what we wanted.
Wow!!! We love it!
This is absolutely perfect, thank you. This makes my heart sing…
We had a really excellent service from Stephen and his team for our full house renovation……. I can’t recommend Stephen enough. We loved his green credentials and passion. He is completely professional and we owe our fantastic living arrangements here in Cardiff to him. We are going to enjoy this house for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!
Within an hour of Stephen’s initial visit, he was able to show us a rough sketch of the completed conversion. Where we only saw a detached garage full of junk, Stephen saw a sun-room, shower room, utility room and bike shed, connected to the main house! This is a reflection of Stephen’s creativity and imagination. Stephen’s attention to detail and breadth of experience were invaluable in not only employing a reliable builder but in producing a finished product of the highest quality. Our requests for, as far as possible, “environmentally friendly” products to be used were readily taken up by Stephen, and suitable suppliers found. Throughout the building process, Stephen monitored progress by regular phone-calls, e-mails and site visits. The “aftercare” that Stephen provided was also second-to-none: the final payment only being made 3 months after the completion date.
