JAR Architecture - Conwy

We have worked with James now for almost 10 years, completing three major refurbishment/extension projects and exploring a number of others. It has always been a pleasure to work with James and his team. James is the consummate “can do” positive architect. His space planning is second to none, he has great professional and commercial contacts and has been an immense source of support during the whole build process. We will go back to JAR again and again.

We have used James and his excellent team on a number of projects. They are professional and personable and have worked really hard to convert our ideas into reality. Can't recommend them highly enough.

JAR were recommended to me by a highly qualified civil engineer friend of mine. I was looking for a talented and imaginative team to completely transform our 150 year old stone farm house / cottage into something full of light and warmth. The challenges really arose when deciding how to remove large parts of the old stone work and install huge sliding German windows without interrupting the integrity and safety of the old building. I put my ideas to James thinking it would be impossible to achieve but he came up with some quite radical solutions that would allow me to gain even more light than I had imagined. James and Chris then went to work and drew the drawings exactly as I had envisaged. The result is a once dark damp and dingy farmhouse is transformed into a modern, bright, fresh and beautiful space.

Not Only were JAR excellent from the first point of contact, they maintained support for almost a year throughout the planning, the application, through to dealing with structural engineers, conversing with the builders and saving us a considerable amount of money by devising a clever solution to a very large problem that occurred mid build. An hour long meeting onsite with James (architect) My builder and structural engineer literally saved us close to £50k.

We felt throughout the process that the team at JAR really cared about our project almost as passionately as we did !

I would HIGHLY recommend James and the team if you are looking for reliable, innovative, passionate, creative and good value quality service. They are super professional and deliver exactly what and when they say they will.

We have already had the drawings done for our next phase of works due to start in two years and it is great to know we will be working with JAR again on that part of the project.

Thank you James and Chris for your Help, guidance and superb attention to detail.

JAR designed an extension on the side of my house so my elderly father could live with me. It was designed to perfection and it has worked really well. Dad is very pleased with his 'pad'. JAR made it so easy by submitting the plans to local authority for approval and managing the process up until the building work started. Brilliant!

James is fantastic. He has designed 2 new builds for me and nothing was too much trouble. He is very easy to get along with and he is extremely helpful. I would recommend him to anyone and certainly use him if I need an architect again...... I can't compare him to any local architects that I don't have knowledge of but in my opinion he is the best. Thank you

At last - an architect who listens! Over the years, we have had several dealings with architects and at times wondered whether one has been talking to oneself when seeing initial plans - which have been so far removed from our original thoughts, it's been unbelievable. Not so with JAR Architecture. Much younger than the architects we have dealt with in the past which was a tad disconcerting in the beginning, but we were very impressed with his approach from the word go and his handling of the entire project until the end. We have asked for additional work...and the only problem now is he's so busy!
