We used Spatial Design Architects (SDA) to design a loft conversation, porch extension and single story rear extension. SDA oversaw the project from the design all the way through to completion. We were extremely satisfied not only with the outcome but the service that we received throughout the project. Many thanks! Anna

Hi
I have employed Brendon and the team at Spatial for an ongoing mix used development project and have been more than happy with their input, designs, response times and professionalism so have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have longed avoided giving reviews on google due to personally believing what little impact they have however for this particular case I decided to make effort in writing one to show my clear and utter dissapointment with Spatial Design. Myself and a close relative were to work along with Spatial Design in order to make a dream a reality. On the contrary they had shown clear disdain towards my relative. How can such a company show high levels of profesionalism then like a child throwing a tantrum get up and just walk away when it no longer intrests them or aligns with their pockets. Communication

Brendon and Shaun provided us with an absolutely brilliant service. They were super efficient, incredibly responsive and very helpful. We would use SPD again in the future and would highly recommend that others use as well.
