"We chose Atkinson Architects on the strength of their experience for our Georgian townhouse in Salcombe. An open-minded and intelligent approach to design, they listened to our aspirations and negotiated the planning process smoothly. On-site they had a rigorous approach to construction and building costs. A wholly successful outcome and we would highly recommend the practice."

Dr Edward & Shirley Kirkby, Salcombe, Devon

"From the outset, Atkinson Architects led our daunting project to renovate a derelict farmhouse and barns. Firstly they helped secure grant funding, listed building and planning approvals. Secondly managed the whole conservation and renovation stages on our sites with great skill and care."

"Richard's vision and energy were invaluable in gaining our planning permission and driving through our building project in East Portlemouth. He is particularly good at blending the old and new with original architectural features and a natural feeling for light and space. Richard cares about his clients and delivers a highly personalised service with great attention to detail - the result is we have a house which is a pure joy to live in - we would highly recommend his services."
