Got planning approved where others had failed!

We recently worked with Alston and Donnelly on the plans for our home extension, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first meeting, they were professional, approachable, and full of creative ideas that really elevated our initial vision. Having previously had no success with planning permission we decided a new direction and new architects were required and we are so pleased we chose to go with Alston and Donnelly.

They took the time to understand how we live and what we wanted from the new space, offering thoughtful suggestions that made the design both practical and modern. Communication was excellent throughout the process — we always knew what stage things were at, and any questions were answered promptly and clearly.

The final plans we everything we hoped for and more, with ideas we hadn't even thought of that just made the design stand out more. Alston and Donnelly managed to blend style and functionality perfectly, and it was amazing seeing it all come to life. We’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented, reliable, and genuinely passionate architects. Thank you for all the hard work.

Professional and trustworthy

Amazing company who removed a very stressful situation, unexpected planning permission was required and they took over and dealt with it all until completion, with permission being granted. Will definitely use again for my next project

If you need a great architect...you just found them

The team at A+D took our dream property from an idea discussed in the back garden to reality. They managed the design, planning application, building regulations, contractor tender and then supported us through the build with total dedication, attention to detail and professionalism. Above and beyond expectations. Thank you.

Fantastic

Fantastic, friendly service from Richard and Tom at A&D. They helped redesign our dream home. Always on the end of a phone or email, really thorough, listened to everything we wanted and what our vision was and helped create a space that met all our expectations within a budget we set. Thank you A&D! Would highly recommend!

Just what i needed. Knowledgeable, empathetic and thoroughly professional. Always had time for my questions and queries and were involved from the project design to completion.

Alston+Donnelly Architecture designed

Alston+Donnelly Architecture designed, planned and organised our house extension including a beautiful bespoke kitchen. Richard’s attention to detail was second to none and his expertise in the design and house building process is outstanding. We were really happy with the process from design through to the finished kitchen. We would highly recommend them and will be using them again in the future

Dealt with Alston and Donnelly for my house extension. They were very friendly and professional, understood my requirements, took into consideration my beliefs regarding vaastu and incorporated it in the extension design. Would have no problem in recommending them for any architectural project.
