We set out with a good idea of what we wanted, but having listened to our intent Studio Werc came up with ideas and designs which we would never have thought of ourselves. Ed worked through the designs in great detail, consulting with us along the way, and then fully handled the process of planning applications and putting the project out for tender. Once we'd received multiple quotes, Ed was able to thoroughly dissect the quotes to make sure we were getting the best deal possible from our builders. He then proven to be an invaluable resource throughout the project, overseeing the build at various stages to ensure everything was going to plan, and making fine adjustments where necessary. Having a good architect on board turned out to be far more important than we ever expected. Even the builders praised the quality of his designs and drawings and how easy he was to work with through the project. All in all, an excellent outcome.

I wouldn't have done it without Ralph!…read more In Aug '25, I asked Ralph to support me on a complete renovation and remodelling of my small harbour-front apartment in Lymington. We worked closely together to design a new internal layout which included relocating most of the walls, the staircase, changing the use of many rooms, new M&E, and much more....all with the intent of making the best of the extraordinary harbour views from its three balconies. At just 75 sqm floor area, we treated it like designing a new interior of a yacht because we needed to make the best use of every small space. Ralph's experience and skill shone through; he was thoughtful, proactive, communicative and creative. He introduced me to a building contractor and helped put together the entire project team. And finding a team is not easy these days! Ralph was hugely tenacious in successfully finding a specialist staircase design and manufacturing firm to create and install the centrepiece of our property. Let's be honest....all these projects cost more than we expected, take longer than we hoped and involve rather more stress than..... .....but I could not, and would not, have embarked on this project without Ralph at my side throughout. He had a calm, pragmatic and supportive influence. We had an ambitious challenge to complete the entire project within 6 months (Jan-Jun) to avoid missing the summer season. Ralph and the team helped deliver that and we now have a truly extraordinary coastal home that has met, if not exceeded, my expectations.

We had previously worked with another architect who we fell out with over design issues. Our architect from Urbane Design really understood our brief and requirements. They were very hands on during the construction period making the project run very smoothly with our builder. The end result was a very modern but sensitive design. They kept the original features that had character on our georgian house and blended them with interesting glass light wells that now flood the house with beautiful natural light. We particularly loved the design for the doors. They are full height and frameless. This really adds a wow factor as some of the rooms are 4meters in height!

They were recommended to us by a friend who lives on the street who had worked with them on her house. We used them to obtain listed building consent, planning permission, to produce the very detailed construction drawings and to manage the project on site. We used a builder they recommended and found this working relation very successfully. The architect explained clearly what was required at each stage of the project which was very usefull. He described it as adding layers of information as the project developed. This became clearer as the project developed. We are very happy with our new home and highly recommend them. They communicate well which I have learnt is the key to a successfully delivered project.
