GEORGE PROFILE

Specialism on Historic Buildings and Conservation Areas – RIBA Conservation Registrant

At GOAStudio London residential architecture I am personally responsible for every project from start to finish and I like to make sure that the clients are fully engaged, challenged and are made active participants during the design process.
Outside work I find time to follow the results of the black and amber Hull City AFC tigers in football, play a game of basketball or two a week, and spend time with my Bee and our little Bee around Walthamstow.
Working with consultants
We have teamed up with other consultants in order to offer an extended service to our clients. Once we have discussed the project requirements and identified the project needs we will advise on what other professionals will need to come onboard; the appointment of other professionals is made directly by the client.
1. Structural engineering services
The services of a structural engineer are often needed at the Building Regulations stage; the engineer is the professional who is qualified to calculate loads, specify the size of beams/columns and design foundations based on specific structural loads.
2. Kitchen design and supply services
We recommend:
“Kitchen Co-Ordination is a London based Design Studio specialising in Rational Contemporary – Modern German Kitchens. Kitchen Coordination designs stunning, quality, contemporary kitchens to fit around your life. Every one of our kitchens is unique. Designed to suit you and built to last.
We offer a truly personal service from our first meeting through to the first cup of coffee in your new kitchen. We also offer a fully project managed service and will work closely with your builder or architect. We make sure every kitchen installation runs as smoothly as possible.”
3. Landscape architect services
We also like to work with landscape architects who can bring a lot to the table when it comes to considering external spaces in more detail. Often a garden is not only the functional area where family life takes place; a landscaped garden is often the main view, the focal point and an extension of a living area and a beautiful external space can add a lot to the home living experience.
Working with building suppliers
Finding a reliable, understanding and trustworthy builder can be a job in itself at the best of times. Over the years and through many projects, we have established working relationships with a number of builders operating across London.
Once the design has been completed, the local authority approvals have been obtained and a tender package of information has been produced, GOAStudio can recommend builders who we have worked with in the past and who have successfully completed projects for our clients.
We have worked with the building suppliers below and we are happy to recommend them for your project.
For structural glass assemblies to residential projects we would like to recommend:
IQ Glass are the UK’s premier residential glazier, specialising in architectural glazing services, large sliding glass doors and contemporary glass constructions. IQ Glass UK can offer a specialist glazing service to all glass elements of a build.
Contact IQ Glass to visit their showroom – the largest residential glazing showroom in the UK: The Courtyard Showroom, Sky House, Raans Road, Amersham, HP6 6JQ.
