We've worked with Ed over the last couple of years, to design us a new build house in Surrey. We're a family with fairly quirky taste, yet Ed was fantastic at iterating on designs with us to come up with something that actually works as a house, whilst really being true to us! He took this design through a very tricky series of planning applications - we wouldn't have been able to get our heads around it without him. And even once the build was underway, Ed was very helpful in discussing the practical implications of the structure with us and the builders. I thoroughly recommend him!

We used Ed for a full house renovation and extension of our bungalow into a modern flat roofed house. Ed is a truly innovative and out of the box thinker. He was able to take our conceptual design and turn it into a reality. Ed brought new ideas, such as increasing our ceiling height, as well as a thorough approach to the structural engineering aspects of our project. Also importantly Ed coached us through the planning and restrictive convents aspects of our project. His disruptive thinking and positive mindset meant that we always found a way through these potential obstacles.

We are so happy that we found Ed at BetterLivingSpace. We gave him a most difficult brief to create a roof space in a 70s bungalow with a ridge height restriction and to design an open plan modern light filled ground floor. Ed excels in problem-solving and uses his design expertise, technical knowledge and most importantly passion for the most difficult of projects. It was so helpful to see the plans come to life through the VR, our first experience of this, and extremely useful to envisage the finished project. We would not hesitate to use Better Living Space again and would highly recommend. We can't wait to move in to our newly renovated and extended bungalow.

Ed helped us with the renovation of our kitchen and provided us with some really nice options to open up the space to a more open-plan kitchen/diner. He was very easy to work with and very communicative, would recommend!

I have had to delete my original review and reply to Ed’s response due to the threat of legal action. Needless to say I do not recommend Ed or Better Living Space.

Please feel free to use their services and judge for yourself, you may have a better experience than me.

We were extremely pleased to have engaged with Ed and Better Living Space on a large extension to our house (which completed over a year ago!). His designs and ideas were in keeping with ours which made the process seamless and straight forward. He was extremely professional, detailed, thorough and flexible during the whole process. He was instrumental in taking his designs through planning for us, and helped us tremendously with clarifications during the building phase. We found it extremely easy (and fun!) to work with Ed and highly recommend him for your next project!

We used Ed at Better Living Space to design a side extension for us. Ed was very professional and explained in detail what we could and couldn’t do as well as suggesting his own ideas. Definitely 5* Service from start to finish.

Thank you, Ed, for your sound advice, and for ultimately helping me avoid unnecessary additional costs with regard to my building warranty. I appreciated your words of wisdom!
