Testimonials

‘Tobias was first recommended to us by our builder, an old friend of his. At first, we thought hiring him would simply facilitate the management of the building site, since a good relationship between the architect and the building team seemed essential for ensuring smooth progress of the works. We quickly developed an excellent working relationship with Tobias and were very impressed by his creative vision, attention to detail and dedication to the work at hand. He also fully understood that working for a married couple is a challenging task of managing sometimes matching but often diverging expectations and I must say that he handled that challenge particularly well. . . Thanks to our collaboration with Tobias, we managed to create a living environment that totally suits our needs and aesthetic sense and is just plainly enjoyable to be in. Using Tobias’ services has allowed us to think outside the box, reach an agreement about what we wanted and implement that vision to the finest detail. All of this was totally worth it!’

‘I bought a Victorian ground-floor conversion with lovely front rooms but a very unlovely utility add-on at the back. I really wanted to improve this space but didn’t know where to begin. Tobias did, however, and proffered several ingenious solutions, confirming my hunch that his approach would be highly engaged and imaginative. After settling on the right option for me, Tobias saw the project through according to his high standards and remained just as engaged and diligent throughout.

I am absolutely delighted with the result. Tobias’s eloquent use of the space, together with his masterful incorporation of incidental details (shadow gaps, strategically placed mirrors and the like), has made the kitchen feel twice the size and it is now the natural hub of the flat. Not only do I love being here, Tobias’s work has lifted my property to a new level of desirability, making the conversion a worthwhile and satisfactory investment in every respect.’

‘Tobias designed a lovely loft conversion and roof terrace for me some years ago.  The studio design perfectly matched my request for lots of light with a wonderful large bay window and skylight. Tobias incorporated a sliding door to the studio which looks great and was essential for saving space. He also included some much needed storage on the landing which has been hugely beneficial to me.  There are many gorgeous details which my friends and clients comment on: the staircase to the studio has a bespoke handrail built into the wall and wall-lit display niches above which together make the staircase a standout feature in its own right. 

The roof terrace, which Tobias achieved planning permission for against the odds, was a bonus and has given me many years of joy as it provides a beautiful and warm (in the summer months!) outside space

The bespoke nature of the work meant that it took longer than cheaper, more standard loft conversions but it was well worth the wait.  I haven’t seen any other local loft conversions as unique and stunning as mine, and have no hesitation in recommending Tobias as an architect.

‘I approached Tobias as a first time developer with a run-down property in Paris that I was unclear how best to improve. Tobias helped me to appreciate the various design options available, their respective merits and costs and guided me at all stages of the building process. It was an easy-going, enjoyable collaboration and I found his contribution invaluable. I’m really thrilled with the end-result! Tobias is patient, down-to-earth, imaginative and thorough and I would highly recommend him.’
