Cherry Architects - Croydon

Tania W.

About 18 months again we decided to embark on a complete transformation on our 1930’s terrace property in South London.

I knew I needed a person that just “got me” and Abigail from Cherry Architects was no exception.

On arrival to our property Abigail worked with me to take our very drab house back to a modern art deco fab!

She listened and was enthusiastic and came back to us with 3 possible layouts to give better flow and more storage, she even helped me create my utility room of dreams which I thought would be near on impossible due to our property being long and narrow.

I was a complete “reno virgin” and Abigail just gave me the confidence to be brave and go for it. She was always available to discuss ideas and give suggestions , was in no way pushy but got our brief and really worked together with me to brain storm ideas to make my vision a reality.

I can not recommend her highly enough! She was worth every penny we spent and I look forward to her returning and working with me on phase two of our project in the near future!

Abigail designed and project managed the refurbishment of my 1980s house. I wanted to maximise the space with a light, airy layout and good energy efficiency. The design included opening up the living area and kitchen; a kitchen extension; converting the garage and reconfiguring the ground floor layout. Abigail exceeded my expectations with a series of cost-effective, creative and space-saving solutions. Her project management, ideas and budget control were also invaluable throughout the construction period. I am very happy with the result and would highly recommend Cherry Architects. Thank you Abigail!

Simply brilliant!
In April 2022 we re-started a back extension project which we had abandoned because of Covid lockdown.

We appointed a building company who had done a fabulous job for our neighbours. We had already attained planning permission prior to lockdown but needed an architect to create our building regulations drawings before we could commence work.
Our building company recommended Abigail and Cherry Architects as she had acted for another client of theirs recently.
Abigail turned around the building regulation plans in a matter of days but in doing so she discovered a major problem with our original architect’s design for the roof and drainage. She redesigned it maintaining the key elements of our design making it viable without the need to re-apply for planning.

During the build Abigail made suggestions that greatly improved our original design and was able to give us some invaluable advice on our interior design.

As with any projects there were a couple of occasions where we thought there might be a problem with the build. Abigail made herself almost immediately available to come and conduct a site visit to inspect the work and to allay our concerns.

Abigail provides a professional first-class personalised service. She is highly responsive and clearly very talented. She literally made us feel like we were her only clients which is remarkable given how busy her practice is.

We have no hesitation in highly recommending Abigail to anyone about to embark on a project and to say that she has earned our admiration and respect.

I had an excellent experience with Cherry Architects, Abigail was fantastic, taking on the brief, working through the post-planning design, tendering and construction oversight. I had a painless experience for my garage and outbuilding rebuild and now have a wonderful set of rooms to enjoy. I can't speak highly enough for the practice and team.

Highly recommend Cherry Architects! Abigail is so talented and we were blown away by her designs. From start to finish Abigail was very supportive and kept us updated and informed. Abigail was everything we could have hoped for in an architect - someone who listens to your ideas but is happy to challenge what you thought you wanted and come up with designs that work so much better! We never would have thought to do the layout she proposed but it is perfect. The 3D designs are so worth the extra money if you are considering this as they went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Abigail!! - Clara & Matt.

Abigail has been instrumental in making our "house renovation" into a "home creation" project. She has guided and supported us in what can be quite a daunting and challenging journey from early build all the way through to completion. We've been blessed to have had her as our designer and recommend her 100% to anyone planning any such work (and a couple of friends have already reached out to Cherry Architects). Everyone who has visited has experienced a lovely homely WOW factor and this is all thanks to the design and detail from Abigail @ Cherry Architects.

Cherry Architects are a great local firm, Abigail has a great eye for detail and completed our extensive design to specifications and requirements. Our situation was such that we had another architecture firm get us through planning permission with Croydon and Cherry Architects engaged thereafter to take on the next stages of design. I wished we had come across Cherry Architects from the beginning as we would have awarded the entire design from start to finish. Abigail still continues to be supportive through our build, always available to answer queries or any clarifications I may have. Excellent company, great people and local! can't recommend enough. Thanks Abigail.

We used Cherry Architects for a retrospective planning application. I'm so glad I found them. Abigail made the entire process stress free & seamless from the my very first enquiry to the final submission. She was very reassuring and very prompt in replying to the council and myself. The application was successfully granted. Thank you Abigail!

I highly recommend Cherry Architects and i look forward to working with them in the future
