I thoroughly enjoyed designing a house with Randell Design Group and am sad the whole process has come to an end. It was an entirely collaborative approach and as a result I continue to absolutely love the house. It works better than I thought it would and I thought it was going to be amazing!Hugh, Bracklesham
Working with Randell Design Group has helped us to realize the beach home of our dreams for our family. We felt that the team understood what we were trying to create and their ideas were both thoughtful and creative with great attention to detail. We found them to be diligent throughout the process and I would not hesitate to work with them again.Mark and JJ, Perry Property Advisors, Bracklesham
Building a house can be a highly painful activity. A critical decision is choosing an architect who can ease the pain. We wanted a very contemporary house but the location raised a high risk of planning permission issues leading to potential delays and cost. From Simon’s previous work and design philosophies we knew he could design a stunning house, but so could other architects. We chose Simon because he understood how to design a house that met our exacting brief but also was acceptable to the many vested interests around planning. He proved that by running a well organised and coordinated project which achieved planning permission with no required changes on schedule. Fantastic. He is the architectural equivalent of Nurofen – he takes away the pain.Ian, Bosham/San Francisco
We are extremely happy with Randell Design Group. Their flexibility and willingness to listen were hugely beneficial to the success of our project. The team had a great sense of what we wanted to achieve and an ability to make recommendations and suggest alternative solutions to make the most sense for our lifestyle and needs. They always put us first and realised that we were building our dream home, not just constructing a project. Throughout our engagement with Randell Design Group they were punctual, professional, thoughtful, and responsive when questions or issues arose.Nick and Vanessa, West Wittering
We are delighted with the transformation Simon and his team have achieved on our home. We purchased a dilapidated 18th century, Grade II listed building which needed major restoration work. We needed an architect who could bring the grand old building back to life and would keep and enhance all its character and heritage. Simon went to great lengths in listening to how we wanted the house to look, and added his architectural skills in designing extensions that aesthetically blended with the old. The first time we saw the plans they were over and above our expectations and all that we had anticipated – evoking an emotional ‘Wow’!Ray and Cathy, Chichester
