“Our restoration project evolved into a very special experience for all the team involved. Kirsty Curnow Bailey was recommended to us by a local buildings surveyor and we arranged an initial 2 hour meeting. The 'cost' to us was a donation to Kirsty's favourite charity. We gelled almost immediately and the journey began. We were involved at every part of the design stage and our ideas were blended with Kirsty's practicality and imagination. She lead the negotiations with the National Park planners and the conservation officer with great professionalism. She introduced us to two building companies and we were pleased to award the job to RM Builders in Tavistock. I year later the works began. The restoration took 16 months and involved a complete reroofing , new external lime render, major lath and plaster internal restoration and a full replumb and rewire. Kirsty was ever-present and chaired site meetings every 2 weeks. The budget was observed closely and contingency added at 2 different stages. Underground drainage works were a major additional cost and could not have been fully predicted at the outset. The build quality was exactly as requested and Kirsty was adamant that the planned standards were fully met. Discoveries on the way included a 1500 carved granite fireplace in the main room, finding a 3rd staircase inside a 5 foot rubble wall and opening up the blocked cross passage in the centre of the house. The oldest timbers exposed during the works date back to the 1300's! Kirsty was pivotal in returning our home to its current condition, blending very old with contemporary and very modern. We are delighted with the result and we would recommend Living Space Architects to any prospective clients. Everything now works 100%, the building breathes again and will be on track for the next 100yrs for sure. Thanks Kirsty Geoff and Sue”

“Excellent service, remained dedicated and professional throughout. Planning would not have been permitted has it not been for Jason and teams hard work and efforts..thanks!”

“Working with Emily and Joe at Coal was so easy and enjoyable. Extremely approachable, accommodating, and helpful (as we live 300 miles away!)...they are full of fresh ideas and creativity. Using colour texture and pattern to bring a wonderful sense of calm and comfort to the rooms. Keeping us up to date with progress at all times and working to a budget and deadline. I cannot recommend them highly enough, we are thrilled with the results. Thank you !”

“Kate was excellent and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an architect. She met me and we discussed my ideas. She spent a day measuring my house and drew up existing plans and plans of possible ideas which we discussed and she further refined my preferred option. She listened carefully to my wishes and patiently answered my questions (there were many as I’d never done anything like this before!) Her vision was amazing and what she came up with is brilliant - so much better than I’d ever thought possible. She has transformed my home from a 3 bedroom house (2 doubles and a box room) to one with 4 double bedrooms and character, and a large family space downstairs that’s great for entertaining too. The unusual shaped patio (pictured) also works really well, Many friends who have visited have commented on how well she’s used the existing space and transformed it. Kate also sorted out all the paperwork for planning permission and met the planner with me on site, which I have no doubt helped getting approval. And she advised on materials, e.g. for the cladding. Her price was very reasonable too. I will be forever grateful to Kate for what she helped me achieve for my home. Thanks, Kate!”
