Testimonials
“So what do you want from your architect? Someone who listens carefully to what you have in mind, hears what you have to say about the budget and comes back with a range of options that he (or she) explains in words of one syllable - and that don't blow the contingency before you start? The answer - Shaun Mildenhall – problem SOLV'd.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Shaun on two residential projects in Winchester, and I highly recommend him as an architect and project manager.
Shaun takes the time to thoroughly understand the brief and is very good at communicating the key design and budgetary considerations from the outset. His creative approach and meticulous attention to detail ensure that design options are logical, will work in practical use and look great.
Use of 3D images really helps in the early design stages and Shaun is great at making suggestions in a personable and non-judgemental way, putting you at ease. His extensive contacts and experience working with local authorities and contractors has proved invaluable.
Thank you, for your expertise and dedication.”

“We love or home now and think it’s is the best looking extension in the street. We are so pleased you are our architect and this build would not have gone so smoothly and as stress free if we hadn’t had you. We are not going to, but we could easily do another extension, but only if we had you on our team.”

“Shaun was an excellent Architect and team player for our Scout Hut regeneration project during 2014. As Chairman of the Scout Group, I approached Shaun to work for us to turn a battered old scout hut into a flexible community facility. We had 8 months to do it to qualify for a grant. His initial work proved critical to the success of the whole plan and saved at least 2 months of work. Shaun's collaboration throughout the project ensured that we remained on-time and on-budget. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.”
