FAB Architects - Haywards Heath

FAB Architects completed a detailed drawing package for the redevelopment of our house. They were extremely professional, quick and very responsive to our ideas helping translate these into our dream home. They are also really nice people and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

When faced with the challenge of renovating our untouched late-Victorian seaside terrace in Hove, the shortcomings were immediately evident. A series of outdated rear extensions had resulted in a narrow kitchen with inconsistent, low ceiling heights, compromising both flow and light. Our vision was to craft a more expansive kitchen through a side return extension, convert the loft space, and curate a large master suite on the 1st floor.

Given our home's location in a conservation area, our home demanded architects who could respect its history while infusing modern touches. That's when we discovered Mike and Will of FAB Architects.

Their innovative portfolio first caught our attention. Yet, it was our face-to-face interactions and immediate rapport that truly solidified our decision. We felt an instant connection, finding them approachable and trustworthy. Mike and Will's mix of fresh insight and seasoned experience reassured us that our home project was in capable hands.

Their proposed designs not only echoed our aspirations but also introduced novel ideas. The rear's redesign is a celebration of light, featuring high windows and a standout triangular rooflight. Complementing this is a vaulted exposed timber roof, seamlessly blending modernity while maximising the previously limited vertical space.

Their thoroughness throughout was commendable. From utilising detailed 3D scans for precision to generating lifelike mockups for visualisation, they were meticulous. Their communication was consistently efficient, making the planning phase smooth and reflective of their adeptness at navigating complex projects. Their recommendations for related professionals, from engineers to contractors, has been invaluable.

As we stand on the cusp of seeing our home's transformation, FAB Architects' commitment hasn't waned. Their ongoing engagement, surpassing the initial planning phase, speaks volumes of their dedication.

For those seeking to transform a space, blending heritage with contemporary design, Mike and Will of FAB Architects come highly recommended.

Their expertise, vision, and passion are evident in every facet of their work.

We had some drawings done to replace our windows/patio doors and sky lights in a flat for planning permission - Mike made the process so easy, there were a couple of alterations which needed doing and they were carried out immediately with no fuss, great price and great to deal with, would definately recommend.

Strongly recommend! This is my 4th renovation/ extension so I have experience of working with architects previously. FAB were brilliant from start to finish. They listened to my initial design ideas and with their input an amazing design was created. Their knowledge and assistance in liaising with planning were paramount in enabling a vision to become a reality.They are a great team and I cannot recommend enough!

Will Fisher of FAB Architects managed the project for our restaurant conversion and we could not have been happier with the outcome. He advised and acted as agent on all planning matters. He designed our commercial kitchen and oversaw the building and compliance with building regulations. He sourced and oversaw the implementation of a bespoke internal filtration system ensuring compliance with council guidelines. He advised on operational elements and sound dulling measures for the dining area. Throughout the project Will showed a commitment to delivering our vision to the highest standard, with excellent communication, and a keen understanding of our tight deadline. The project was completed to the highest specification and we found Will's manner in dealing with other people working on the team to be outstanding. He is a safe pair of hands and a pleasure to work with. We would recommend him without hesitation and look forward to working with FAB Architects again in the future.

I had a recent extension to my house. Mike was very attentive to the design and managed the project from start to finish. I would recommend FAB Architects.

It is a pleasure to work alongside FAB Architects with their keen eye to detail and their proactive willingness to incorporate the structural elements required to support the newly proposed works and the ability to incorporate these into the final design with beautiful aesthetic results and zero structural compromise.

Mike and Will helped us undertake a whole-house major renovation in Brighton. The circumstances - we bought the house in Nov 2020 - were challenging especially as there were many lockdowns during renovation, and we didn't live in Brighton to oversee much. However, we were in safe hands. Mike and Will were involved at all stages from early designs through to the finishing touches. They had ideas that would never have occurred to us and now that we live here, the flow of the house house works really well. They helped sort problems (not their fault) along the way, in fact even a whole year on! Through lockdowns they adapted methods to work and communicate remotely and we met on site visits too. They are professional and good value. We would definitely recommend them, and use them again, though I hope we don't need to for a good long time yet!
