Report
We would highly recommend the services of Studio Colab to anyone seeking a professional, hands-on, and inspired service. We worked collaboratively with Fabian, whose determined and clear approach was so welcomed when sourcing out a quality architect with a shared vision to help see our contemporary house extension through planning. Ours was a relatively small project involving designing and seeking planning approval for a ground floor single height extension in North London.
And despite Studio Colab having worked on much larger and more expensive projects, we were encouraged by their aesthetically intoxicating designs and uncompromising enthusiasm to deliver as equally good a service on our limited budget. Fabian was unwavering in his attention to detail in both drawing up designs and sourcing all the necessary information and agents required to get our application over the line, which succeeded on first application! We could not be happier with our choice. Emi & Kris
