British Home Design - Attleborough

Nick Cameron

Sami has provided exceptional service in supporting our self build project to convert a 250 year old barn into a family home. She took a VERY long list of our wants and desires and completely re-imagined the proposed layout into something which we love which still remains true to the history of the barn. We really liked how she structured her phases of work and how she kept us updated throughout. Her approach to planning is very thorough too, and she writes very persuasively to extol the merits of her applications.

Sami at British Home Design has provided outstanding service and been incredibly helpful from the start of our new home project. Sami’s highly professional knowledge and level of experience has helped to guide us through the planning process and application so far. Her creativity and keen eye for design and detail is clearly demonstrated in all aspects of her work and we very much look forward to continuing to work with her on our exciting upcoming projects.

Sami did a very professional job from start to finish of the project. She went beyond our contract to support me throughout gaining planning permission through to the installation of the solar panels. I highly recommend her services and would not hesitate to work with her again.

We are currently in the process of working with Sami Loton (Britishhomedesign) having been through the phases of Meet & Measure, , Concept Design Review, Virtual Reality and currently finalising the plans! After having plans suggested by other professionals we felt we were lacking the wow factor but Sami managed to find an idea that gave us that! Sami’s enthusiasm has shone through along with a very pleasant and professional approach! We are very excited about the project and looking forward to continue working with Sami to complete our project. We highly recommend her services through BritishHomeDesign! Martin & Lynn

We have had a great experience so far with BHD; Sami took the time to understand our individual requirements, her designs were very creative, hit the brief, and only required a couple of minor adjustments to get us to a point that we were happy to go to local planning. Great communication, insightful and professional advice received throughout the process. Would definitely recommend.

British Home Design has proven to be prompt, honest, and professional, with a keen eye for detail. Our vision evolved into a strong yet elegant design with a wrap-around two-story expansion after they thoroughly examined our initial brief. They gave a range of options for each design stage, putting our minds at ease and really developing ideas into a strong cohesive plan. The split-level design based on the land contours gives it a wow factor and complements its surroundings, the well-thought-out bespoke designs greatly exceeded our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend British Home Design to everyone. Even when working with a challenging LPA agent, BHD have remained calm, dedicated, professional and reassuring throughout the process.

We had our initial meeting with Sami Loton on Friday and it was a brilliant experience. Sami spent the day with us - getting to know our house and us! We have no doubt that her plans and concepts will be outstanding and we are very excited about the next stage of our project. Thank you, Sami.

I recently purchased an old cottage in Norfolk. Prior to completion i began my search for an architect as I knew the property was in need of a complete modernisation, extension and generally turning it into my dream home. During the initial search I spoke with Resi , another larger architectural group, and two local firms. One of these being British Home Design.

Firstly Sami was actually the first to reach out. I appreciated the prompt but not pushy response, two of the other firms took 2 weeks to respond. We organised an intro call following a short online survey that took no longer than 5 mins. Sami came to the call prepared with her PoV, some ideas and a great overview of BHD - their style and achievements to date.

In comparison to the other introductory calls I had with the others there really isn't a comparison. I found others to be too pushy, pitching generic or recycled ideas from other projects and I even had one tell me I'd be wasting my time with a particular feature as I'd find I'd never use it - almost prescribing what my lifestyle should involve. Sami was warm, had a very open mind and crucially open ears. A few months later (my completion took longer than expected) I had my meet & measure, it was great to meet Sami and continue our collaboration in person, I was surprised at how thorough she was, spending the entire day at the property, shortly after the 2d plans were ready and we were entering the exciting concept stage - all with timely updates along the way and collaboration via Pinterest, email or WhatsApp.

We're nearing our planning application stage and I can confirm Samis style and approach has been nothing but consistent and expectation beating, during the concept design phase she took on feedback for 3 of her designs and returned a few weeks later with a plan that absolutely hit all the feedback right on the mark. It's rare to find a service provider that is technically excellent whilst possessing the ability to empathise and understand what a person "needs" and "wants" and transform these into an actionable plan and next steps.

I'm really looking forward to continuing our collaboration throughout the rest of the stages and hopefully into the build. Finding Sami will have a life long impact on me as I know she'll deliver an incredible dream home that will bring delight to me and my family for decades to come. Thank you BHD!
