Here the architect, Ruth Butler, has transformed the long-narrow garage into a generous open-plan kitchen-dining room… This is not pushing out the boat money-wise, they’ve just got the space right

Impressive design, craftsmanship and attention to detail

I’m blown away by the design which is very beautiful. It’s also lovely and quiet inside, even with the wind raging outdoors. This is the future of housing, energy efficient homes that add to peoples lives  

The RIBA Client Adviser, Ruth Butler, was instrumental in forming the project vision and strategic brief.  Her careful analysis of our existing estate and construction phasing led to the retention of the original 1920’s building and a listed house and the replacement of a 1960’s extension with a new three storey block and sports hall. During construction, the school has remained in occupation throughout

I found the Client Adviser (Ruth Butler) very useful in translating the local authority’s procurement procedures into reality.

In addition to the thanks that were passed on recently the Management Committee wanted to formally thank you for the design study you produced on the possibilities for utilising the various rooms on the west side of the main hall. Your report has given the committee plenty of food for thought in respect of any alterations that may be made in the future

We are greatly indebted to the support of our panel with a wealth of national and international experience in sustainability, architecture, transport, planning, urban and landscape design

The top three floors of Frobisher Crescent in London’s Barbican Centre have been converted into space-efficient flats in the true spirit of 1970s urban living

Just to say how much we are enjoying our "new" house, it's a revelation!

As a Building Services Engineer, the levels of comfort in our house have exceeded my expectations. It’s draught-free and uniformly comfortable throughout the year.

We are absolutely delighted to win with this building. Your role with Wandsworth was key to getting the Council to value good design too so thank you so much

Just wanted to add my personal thanks for all the hard work and time you put into the ‘Treehouse’ project. The children at St John’s now have an amazing space to use and it will enhance the learning experience for many years to come. I hope all your future projects are equally successful.

People need good professional guidance.  Ruth’s input was particularly good because while we were very clear about what we wanted, Ruth was able to critique and explain why some of the other schemes didn’t fit with her professional language

We now have fantastic facilities designed on the model of a university campus with industry standard specialist facilities for Creative Arts, Technology, Sport and Computing
