We pride ourselves on the relationships we form with our clients. We work collaboratively and listen to you, but will also present alternative ideas if we think something could be designed differently so that you always have options before making a final decision. Have a look at what our client's have to say below.
"The Beehive was a complex project involving the retention of as much of the history and character of a Grade 2 listed property as possible whilst completely modernising it and extending it. We wanted to create a home that showcased its history whilst being eco-friendly and comfortable for 21st century living.
Bronwen was able to guide us through the challenges of achieving this with a design that made the most of the listed building and added new extensions that enhanced the existing structure, giving the listed building back its integrity, which had been lost over years of poorly considered additions during its life as a public house.
We really valued Bronwen’s advice and experience throughout the build and the lengthy process of choosing the fit and finishes – something that was made far more complex by the need to shoehorn the requirements of modern living into a house originally constructed over 400 years ago! There was added complexity as Bronwen had to engage with two sets of clients (as well as the main contractor) – the vendors as owners and project managers of the build and us as the buyers and ultimate owners of the property – and all this during the pandemic and through numerous lockdowns where the only communication possible was via Zoom.
Communication was fundamental to driving the project through to completion on time and Bronwen manged this extremely well and as clients we always knew what was expected of us. We are very happy with the end result!"

"We have engaged Connected Architecture for a Grade 2 listed renovation and separately for a new build property. Bronwen has provide an excellent service. She listens carefully to our requirements and has provided good design recommendations. She understands the need for a cost conscious approach without compromising results. She has been very responsive and diligent in her working practice and completely open and upfront about her fees, which has not been our experience with all architects. As of Nov 2020 she has completed buildings regulations drawings and tender process and we are due to commence work imminently. We look forward to her continued guidance through the builds and we thoroughly recommend her."

“Bronwen was great to work with. We had spoken to other architects but her can-do approach and ability to listen was what drew us to work with her. She is full of practical suggestions and pushed us out of our comfort zone without ever disrespecting our own ideas and our budget. She came up with some great solutions to problems but always took into consideration what we were trying to achieve and our vision. We love the end result and couldn’t have done it without her.”

"Connected Architecture was recommended to me by a friend as I needed an architect to help me redesign my 1950s bungalow. Bronwen took on board my ideas and what I wanted to achieve and did an excellent job of turning it into the design I wanted. She was happy to discuss what I wanted in detail and her experience was invaluable because she was able to tell me if some of my ideas would or wouldn't work. On the back of this she was able to create a choice of designs for us to discuss and work with which then led to a final design I was delighted with. I would certainly recommend Connected Architecture."

Bronwen has been excellent in a tricky application she went above and beyond to make sure we had a design that saw to all of our needs. She found solutions to all of our problems and designed us our dream family home in terms of space and look. We can’t wait to see her design come to life. Highly recommend."

"We're in the process of remodelling the downstairs of our house to reconfigure the space and create a new open plan kitchen/family room, utility room and downstairs WC. This is the first project we've worked with an architect on and Bronwen has been an invaluable help. She's friendly, approachable, pragmatic and quick to respond to queries. She came up with several options to utilise the space in different ways, which really helped clarify our thinking, and novel changes to internal doorways to get more light flowing through the house, which we hadn't even considered. She was very focused on achieving our objectives and helped us realise that we could get what we wanted without needing to extend, which was a big help in terms of budget and not needing planning permission!"
