Testimonials
“Clearly it is considered somewhat odd in the architectural profession for the clients to actually enjoy the process with the architect (e.g. poor old Edith Farnsworth and Mies van der Rohe) but we did enjoy the way you took us through the whole thing – I can’t honestly say that Jane enjoyed every second of the actual building! – and made clear where you were coming from and what the influences were, at the same time as pushing forward with a singularly individual house.’”
David Attwood (Client, Atwood House)
“No 9 Wellington Place is a complete joy to live in and has far exceeded our expectations. The whole house has a grand feeling of space, light and calmness so lacking in its original state. You have created not only a beautiful, but also a very practical home.”
Rachel Mills and William Bartlett (Clients, Bartlett House)
“The Eveline Lowe project is running to programme – it’s progressing faster than all the other projects… ...Pardeys were excellent – they knew schools and got to know this one quickly and efficiently, even coping well with a sudden change of Head Teacher.”
Barry Mason (Project Manager, Southwark Council Children’s Services)
“The architects listened hard to what the schoolchildren, staff and Headteacher said. They got it right first time round; a winner from the start.”
Barry Mason (Project Manager, Southwark Council Children’s Services)
“John Pardey was chosen from a list of more than 30 architects we admired from the RIBA’s Britain’s Top 100 Architects publication. Our brief was detailed, we had a set budget and we needed a phased approach. Out of the three architects we finally interviewed John was the only one prepared to offer a sketched idea in our first meeting and who really engaged with our dilapidated but interesting 50’s modernist property. He encapsulated our detailed brief so elegantly and simply – all offered on day one and with no strings attached. This confident approach continued during the project – John and his excellent team, Hugh Richardson and Adam Knibb, became the guardians of my budget and of a wonderfully strong idea which has hardly changed since we first met. We are delighted.”
