Archihive Architects - Lancaster

Rebecca Lambert

Simon and Rebecca have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They have gone above and beyond to ensure our plans are exactly what we need as a family presently and for the future. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience in both architecture, planning and historic buildings which is clear to see and ensured our grade 2 listed building planning permission was approved by the local council. They have answered all our questions, been reliable and supportive throughout this process and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Rebecca and Simon were a great help to us navigating the planning and design requirements for our carport and solar panels at our listed property.
The whole process was frictionless for us, enabling us to draw on their considerable expertise and relationships to get a proposal best suited for our requirements.

We wouldn't hesitate to engage Archihive again for future projects, and would heartily recommend them to anyone.

Archihive were recommended to us by a client when we decided to investigate a self build. From the first meeting we knew that Simon and Rebecca where the right choice. They clearly listened to how we wish to live in the building and put a lot of thought into translating that into a beautifully designed space. We received fantastic support throughout the planning process and planning has been granted on what would be considered a tricky plot, undoubtably due to the care and attention that Simon and Rebecca put into the building design and the design and access statement which supports it.
I cannot recommend this family partnership highly enough.

Simon understood our vision completely, interpreting it perfectly into our initial plans. Our individual requests were taken onboard, whilst offering fresh insight and design solutions that took our project to the next level. Simon & Rebecca managed all communications with the planning office, completely taking the stress out of the process for us. The final plans for our project have surpassed our expectations and we can't wait to make them a reality!

Archihive have designed a new kitchen extension for us and we are delighted with the plans they have produced. Simon and Rebecca are professional and friendly to work with and really took time to listen to us and answer our questions and concerns. They came up with innovative and practical ideas to maximise use of space which will transform that part of the house. Overall, Archihive went beyond our expectations both with the service we received and the design of the plans. We would definitely use them again.

We were delighted with the service that we received from Simon and Rebecca at Archihive. They were recommended to us when we first started to look at extending our home and we have already recommended them to several friends. They made the process from initial measurements and design concepts right through to an approved planing application run incredibly smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble with excellent communication throughout. We can’t wait to see their design ideas brought to life when the building work starts next year.

Simon and Rebecca have provided us with an excellent service throughout the planning application stage of our bungalow refurbishment. Simon is always very responsive to our comments and integrates our ideas into the design seamlessly ,particularly how we want to live and use the space once completed. Planning approval was granted two weeks early all down I'm sure to Archihive's professionalism in developing sympathetic design which my wife and I are delighted with . We look forward to working with them into the next stage of the project.

Simon and Rebecca of Archihive have been a pleasure to work with. They are totally client-focused, listen carefully and deliver thoughtful and imaginative solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner. They are flexible and willing to adapt to any changes in the brief. They even suggested ideas beyond the brief, for which we are most grateful, and plan to implement them. Both Simon and Rebecca are personable and friendly; we found them approachable and totally conscientious. Overall, we are delighted with their services and have no hesitation in recommending them .
