Great support and service in helping us to receive planning approval. Looking forward to working with Daniel and Helen through the subsequent stages to bring the vision to life.

Daniel designed my house extension and renovation a few years back, and honestly, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He came up with such clever ideas and really understood how to make the space work for the way I live. He was incredibly knowledgeable about building regulations and the whole planning process, which made everything run smoothly.
He also helped with builder details and was always happy to talk things through. The finished home flows perfectly and still feels like “me” because he included all the quirky touches I love. Highly recommend Daniel if you want someone talented, thoughtful, and genuinely lovely to work with.

I have used several architects over several builds, Helen at Daniel Matthias is the only person who was prepared to listen and engage in a conversation as to what I was wishing to achieve from our conversion, we were able to engage in helpful dialogue which resulted in a conversion plan that not only produced what we had requested but with Helen's knowledge produced many new ideas adapting what we already had and being able to introduce many design features which have improved the design of the new conversion. Many Architects are able to design from the ground up but it takes a good architect to design an already built property and be able to create a special final design and product. Thank you Helen for your skills in listening, communicating and producing a design that will improve the area and will help to sell our final product. Robert Shaw

Just completed a renovation of our 1960s bungalow with garage conversion, utility room renovation and replacement of a flat roof with a pitched roof. I found Helen very helpful and supportive throughout this process. The flat roof replacement had the potential to be particularly challenging due to the somewhat unusual footprint of the building. The solution she came up was brilliant. We are extremely pleased with the end result and would thoroughly recommend this company.

A Transformative Garage Conversion

Choosing Daniel Matthias Architecture (DMA) was undoubtedly the best decision we made for our home improvement project. Their creativity, professionalism, and dedication have left a lasting impression, and the value they brought to our project surpassed our expectations.

Throughout the planning and construction phases, Daniel, Helen and the team demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism. They handled the paperwork for planning permission and building regulations, ensuring that every aspect of the process was compliant and stress-free for us. They maintained clear communication, always keeping us updated on progress and promptly addressing any questions or concerns.

Their relationships with local contractors and suppliers proved invaluable. Thanks to these connections, the project moved forward smoothly, with high-quality workmanship and materials at every stage and finished on time and on budget. DMA’s regular site visits meant that any potential issues were identified early and resolved efficiently.

If you’re seeking an architect who listens, innovates, and delivers exceptional results with integrity and care, look no further. We are grateful for their contribution to our home and hope to work with them again.

Daniel Matthias listened to my vision of how I wanted the space in my loft to be further extended. The vision also had the addition of a large dormer window. His Architects Plans and the work of the builders he recommended brought my vision to life. Well done.

I approached the team at DMA with an idea for my home extension, and they were informative and approachable from the outset. They have maintained regular communication and guided me through the entire process with professionalism and clarity. I would highly recommend them and look forward to continuing the journey as the build comes to life. Thank you

I have been using DMA now for the past few months and the level of professionalism from all of the team is second to none.
I have mainly been working with Helen and she has been very communicative throughout the whole process. I am very much looking forward to when the project has been completed.

We have never engaged with an architect before, but it’s hard to imagine we could have found a better firm to deal with than Daniel Matthias Architecture. From the very first meeting, we knew we were in safe hands. Daniel delivered the initial designs rapidly and accurately. Changes to our requirements were handled promptly, professionally, and with fastidious attention to detail. Daniel and his team were on-hand to help with the selection of a contractor, and maintained a helpful and proactive presence throughout the project, ensuring it was brought to a successful conclusion and that any issues were resolved rapidly and to our complete satisfaction.

DMA’s many awards speak for themselves, but what they don’t reveal is the personal warmth and assuredness that the entire team brought to our project, which helped engender a sense of security and comfort that made what could have been a daunting prospect a much more enjoyable and satisfying experience.

We would recommend DMA unconditionally – they have been a delight to work with.

We only had a vague idea of what we wanted to achieve from our project. Daniel listened carefully to our thoughts and created a wonderful solution. The whole process was competently completed, with very little stress for us. We now have a home of which we are very proud!

Daniel and his team were brilliant, he had some great ideas and really helped us reimagine our home, from a dated 1950’s house to a modern 4 bed home.

Daniel Matthias was referred to us by a prospective builder, to do the drawings for our '80s rear extension remodel.

We'd talked to a couple of other architects before meeting Daniel to discuss the project, but as soon as we met Daniel at the initial site viewing we knew we'd found the right practice for us. First impressions were how friendly and professional he was, taking much more time to understand our requirements and making alternate suggestions, despite our project only being relatively modest. Daniel also explained the various stages of the process in detail.

We've just received the stage 2 Concept drawings from Daniels colleague Helen (who was equally friendly, professional and understanding of our requirements), slightly ahead of schedule despite it fast approaching the festive break.

We're now excited to progress the project through to completion with DMA in the New Year.

His colleague was the architect for our work and she did an excellent job considering the amount of changes we asked for.

If like us, you've never had to use an architect before I totally recommend this company. They're really good people. Very straightforward, laid out the schedule of what we could expect and their cost right from the begining.

Daniel listened to our initial thoughts and ideas for the Orangery. He then proposed some ideas, which enhanced our original vision. Then, using his design expertise, he has turned the vision into reality. The Orangery is a superb space that can be used throughout the year. The space is flooded with natural light, from the bifold doors, the large window and the two rooflights. We originally planned to have one roof latern, but are so glad we took on board the proposal from Daniel to have 2 rooflights. Daniel dealt with all of the planning stage, providing all the necessary information for the Orangery to secure approval by planning. He also appointed a building inspector to ensure the Construction was in accordance with the design and therefore compliant with the building regulations. Daniel is totally professional, was so easy to work with, and his design was meticulous in its detail, which greatly assisted the Contractor during the construction phase. I fully recommend Daniel for any architectural work you may be considering.

We reached out to Dan to help shape up our thoughts for an extension and modernisation to our bungalow. His extension idea pushed our thinking and challenged us to contemplate a more cutting edge design whilst still delivering the practicality we wanted.
Friendly approach and support.

We were introduced to Daniel and his team by our planning consultant. Daniel went out of his way to help us, very quickly, create some rough plans for a pre-app. Once we were in a position to make a full planning application we went with Daniel again as he'd helped us out previously, this was absolutely the correct decision on our part.
We had a good idea of how we wanted our self-build to look and Daniel took all of this on board. He turned our poor sketches and pipe dreams into a workable home that flows perfectly.

There is always a risk working with someone for the first time, my advice to anyone considering using his services is 'take the risk, you will not be disappointed'.

Thank you to Daniel and his team
