COW architecture - Grange-over-Sands

Deborah M.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience working with David Coward on transforming The Old Bar, Cartmel into our dream home! From the moment we saw his vision for the almost derelict ruin, we knew he was the perfect architect for our project. David has been with us every step of the way, keeping a keen eye on progress and ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly.

His passion for restoring the integrity and history of the building while bringing it into the 21st century has been nothing short of sublime. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication, expertise, and the genuine care he has shown throughout the project. We will miss working with him, unless there’s another project on the horizon! Thank you, David, for making our dream home a reality. Highly recommend!

Have had a great experience of using Cow Architecture. David came out for a site visit, organised a survey and came up with two innovative designs that incorporated all our wish list in terms of functionality and design. Ours is an unusual site due to our house being built into a hill and interconnected with other properties so this was a difficult ask. The 3 D designs really helped in terms of visualising what the designed extension would look like. Would definitely recommend.

David and the team were great in understanding our vision and giving us various options on how to progress and turn our plans into reality. They were able to help us through the entire process, from renders to planning and recommendations for builders and support trades.

Highly recommend.

We couldn’t believe our luck when David showed us the initial drawings he had created for our new home. Having bought the house mainly for its position we were unsure how to update and renovate it.
We loved David’s design and knew instantly he was the person we wanted to work with on this major project. He had taken on board our lifestyles which includes two dogs and produced a house that was way beyond anything we had imagined.
One of the best things for us about the process was the 3D images David created, enabling us to see exactly how the completed house would look. It’s fine looking at drawings but neither my husband or I could quite get the feel or flow of the rooms until we saw the beautiful images on line.
David was also able to take control of the planning procedure and steered us smoothly through the various challenges thrown up due to the house being situated within a medieval village.
David is fantastic to work with, always available to answer queries or give advise, he is regularly on site and very supportive. He is creative, extremely passionate and an outstanding architect.

A full 5 stars for David Coward. His professional and innovative approach has given us an excellent design and his 3D renders really add value to the whole process. David is really approachable and his advice shows that he really understands and cares about our project. We would strongly recommend his services.

We are delighted to have David as our architect for the conversion of an old warehouse, which is both a listed building and in a conservation area, into a delightful two bedroomed dwelling.
David listened carefully to our ideas and skilfully interpreted them into a stunning and achievable design, retaining all the character of the old building, whilst at the same time creating a beautiful space for modern living. His 3D images helped enormously in showing us how the designs would work in real life as opposed to the more normal 2D plans which require a great deal of imagination to visualise.
His knowledge of the planning process, his attention to detail, and his natural ability to communicate easily, made the whole process both reassuring and pleasurable.

We have been delighted with our experience of COW Architecture. David responded quickly and listened carefully to what we wanted - and has always delivered when he said he would. We’ve appreciated swift responses to our communications along the way. He has a way of distilling things down and making everything straightforward. No question is silly and concerns are addressed seriously and efficiently. Overall, our experience is that COW architecture get the job done thoughtfully, with minimum fuss and at a very competitive price. We’d have no hesitation in recommending the Company to friends.
