DESIGNED FOR LIVING

"We had the pleasure of working with Ashleigh on our Cotswold Grade 2 listed cottage. Apart from being a fantastic architect, he is also a really lovely person. Ashleigh came up with some really amazing design concepts for our cottage and was always an absolute delight to work with. The whole planning approval process was a nightmare from start to finish, however Ashleigh was always there to support us and we probably could not have got through it without him. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ashleigh and hope to use him again in the future."

- Andrew and Vicky Lathe

"We had the pleasure of working with Ashleigh & team renovating our home, a Grade II barn conversion. From navigating the planning process, suggesting some transformative ideas, delivering the design and coordinating with other teams in our project, Ashleigh was consistently professional yet warm, and an overall joy to work with. Listed building renovations are bound to come with surprises, and having Ashleigh in our court made the difference where it mattered most. I can happily recommend him."

- Diego Actis and Seth Rosenfeld

"Ashleigh is by far the best architect we have used. Calm under pressure, very accurate and precise, and I thoroughly recommend him for your project whether large or small."

- Nigel Rowley

"Ashleigh provided prompt, clear advice when I consulted him over my Grade II listed building consent application. His advice was on point and helpful and always timely. I am pleased to say that consent was granted. Thank you, Ashleigh!"

- Karen Saffarian

"When informing the locals in the village that we were going to modify the glorified bungalow we had purchased, most replied that in their opinion we should demolish the then existing building and start again. Fortunately, we had a good architect. Ashleigh's design brought modernity and spaciousness to the finished product with an emphasis on light and connection with outside. Now all any locals or visitors say is - Wow!! Really love your house mate!!"

- Paul Brazel

"Ashleigh, besides designing and drawing, also project managed the work undertaken; liaising successfully with the builders at all stages and coming up with innovative solutions whenever unexpected challenges arose. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for your project."

- Paul Brazel

"Ashleigh created a beautiful functional open plan design for our home. He was a pleasure to work with and nothing was too much trouble. On top of this, he managed to save us money, his attention to detail is second to none. We cannot recommend Ashleigh highly enough."

- Dennis and Lydia Parker

"Ashleigh has worked on two separate projects and both times came up with a beautiful, functional design which suited our style of living. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with, nothing was too much trouble and his attention to detail gave us an inner calm throughout the design and build process. I could not recommend Ashleigh highly enough and if I'm ever in need of an Architect again, I know who I will be calling!"

- Laura Moore

"I hired Ashleigh for a tricky extension design for which I had little hope to get a satisfying result. But thankfully I was wrong as Ashleigh managed to provide me with a great concept and I am looking forward to getting it implemented. The result is due to Ashleigh's ability to listen to my requirements and combining it with the existing aesthetics of the house."

- Andrew and Astrid Vaughan

"Additionally to the very pleasant interaction with Ashleigh, I like his transparency about costs which are clearly communicated by Ashleigh from the beginning without any unpleasant surprises. I can therefore highly recommend Ashleigh!"

- Andrew and Astrid Vaughan

"Ashleigh designed a one and a half storey extension on an awkward site that opened up our cottage and gave us a large ensuite bathroom. We are so pleased with the finished space - it has transformed the entire house and it works so well. We couldn't be happier!"

- Randy and Eileen Weeks

"Ashleigh is profesional and knowledgable in his field. I have a grade 1 listed building and he knew exactly who to liase with in order to get things done properly and efficiently. Highly recommend him."

They use sustainable materials and methods that have minimal impact on the environment. We are so grateful for his consultation as we prepare to move to The Cotswolds.

- Sheron and Sandeep Ravi

"Excellent service with great communication Would have no hesitation in recommending Ashleigh Clarke to anyone looking for a friendly professional service who always maintains a good dialogue with client throughout the project."

- Geoff and Chris King

"We engaged Ashleigh to work on our listed house and he has been amazing! He has fantastic ideas and is very knowledgeable about the planning and technical elements of proposed designs. Ashleigh is extremely personable and it is always a pleasure to discuss things through with him. He has an excellent relationship with Cotswold District Council and other professionals which makes the planning and building regulations process far smoother. Ashleigh provides a wonderful service and my husband and I will undoubtedly work with him in the future. We cannot recommend him highly enough."

- Geena and Benjamin Spicer

"Ashleigh is very well versed in the planning process in the Cotswolds and was able to provide very helpful advice during the plan and design phase. He was able to create a very liveable space in a small loft conversion and worked very well with the structural engineer and planning department to get the plans approved."

- Stuart and Mallika Quin

"We used Ash to create, from scratch, a new home office and a larger double garage, with a bonus room above approached via external tallet steps, all in the Cotswold style. He’s extremely approachable, full of good ideas and not at all dogmatic: you get what you ask for with useful input from him. We went from initial sketches to full planning and, ultimately, working drawings for our builders. We are doing our own supervision because I’m retired and was a surveyor. Use him! He’s fun and very nice."
