Phil Clifford has been excellent at interpreting our thoughts into excellent designs, and then ensuring plans become reality. He has negotiated planning procedures very effectively, and been on hand to guide projects to very good conclusions. His professional approach and rigorous attention to detail is ideal.
Philip Clifford Designs were our architects for a large renovation/re-build project of a 1970’s bungalow. We decided to engage them following a fantastic recommendation from previous clients of theirs.
We wanted to completely renovate the property with eco-friendly aspects, large windows opening onto our woodland garden. The designs for the four bedroom property were exceptional, modern and innovative. Philip carefully took time to understand our requirements and consulted closely with us to meet our brief.
We’ve worked with Philip Clifford Design on a number of our own projects, and each time Phil and the team have delivered excellent results. They’ve been collaborative, taking the time to understand our ideas while also offering clear, thoughtful advice of their own. Their suggestions and recommendations have always strengthened the final outcome.
One of the things we’ve valued most is their ability to balance creativity with practicality. They listen, they challenge where needed, and they bring a level of expertise that makes the whole process feel well‑supported and well‑guided.

Our experience working with this architect was extremely disappointing. Requested design amendments were frequently not incorporated into revised drawings.
The design proposals added limited creative development beyond the initial concept, very little additional design value was contributed to the project.
We were also advised we wouldn't need an ecological survey for the planning submission. This later proved incorrect and resulted in an additional survey being commissioned, adding another two months delay to the planning process.
Based on our experience, we would not use this architect again.
