Services
Many of our clients have not been involved in a building project before and knowing so little of what to expect can be intimidating. This should not be a worry as we expect this to be the case and it is for the architect to guide the client carefully at each stage and to make every step quite clear.
If you think we might be a good fit for you, please do get in touch as we'd love to chat through your project. A call is always better than an email to get the ball rolling, so give us a ring! There are many questions that are frequently asked when a client sets out on a building project. We have spent time selecting links to useful information to answer your early questions to help you in what can be quite an overwhelming time.

We found Inspiration through AECB as we wanted to build an environmentally sound house in the garden of the listed thatched cottage where we had lived for 30+ years. Inspiration understood our brief brilliantly and years later we are very happy (warm and dry) in our EPC 'A' rated house that costs much less to heat than we receive from our PV panels. The design as well as the quality of the build was excellent.

I have been working as a consultant alongside Inspiration for a number of years now and have always been an admirer of their work. It clearly is inspiring! I particularly like their one-off home designs which display an unusual level of creativity in their look and form but also in the way they function. Sometimes quirky and always a statement, this practice likes to create something truly unique for each individual client.

We asked Inspiration to design a new house for us on a site with some beautiful views in Hampshire. We were aware of Inspiration’s reputation for these sorts of projects. We wanted our house to be contemporary in design and with outstanding sustainability credentials. This was beautifully achieved in the house we now enjoy which is truly unique and stunning in its design as well as having superb energy performance levels which far exceeded even our hopes and expectations. The ‘upside down’ nature of the internal spaces and the way the house cleverly hugs the shape of the land means we can

We found the Inspiration team through a recommendation when we began to plan for the extension and modernisation of our home. From the beginning we found them friendly and professional, with that important balance of sound advice mixed with a willingness to work with our vision for the completed project. There were a number of challenging aspects to our job (riverside location, flood plain consent, raft and pile foundations and sewer re-location) the complexity of which they handled with minimum involvement from us. They also advised us on sourcing structural engineers and building contractors

My wife and I wanted to write a review regarding our experience with Inspiration Architects in relation to our future home.
We both agree that the service, understanding and responses exceeded our expectations greatly. When we received the final proposal/drawings/examples we knew we had made the right decision in engaging your services. In fact we were blown away.
Whilst building a home is a daunting task it is great to know that we have professionals such as yourselves waiting in the wings to assist when required.

We returned to Inspiration having had excellent an excellent service when we extended our kitchen and reconfigured one side of our house. Our new project was much more complex and adventurous involving almost a 50 percent addition to the floor area of the existing building and including a built in garage, dining room, double height drawing room and a mezzanine office area. Inspiration provided us with a number of conceptual layouts in order to ensure that we were fully happy with the seamless integration with the existing building.
