We have worked with Chris on the design and planning of a single storey oak and glass extension to our Grade Two listed property in Warwickshire. He helped us with the initial concept, design and the planning stages right through to approval! Chris has been considerably helpful, patient and offers a friendly, professional service. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Chris for a project of this type.

Having used Chris from Appropriate Design solutions I can confidently say that he is one of the most patient designers we have ever had experience with. We wanted to build an extension on our grade 2 listed cottage, this could not be a normal one so we were recommended to speak to Chris. What followed was an enlightening view of how the planning process is run, and clear advice of how we are best to 'play this game' Chris has many years of experience and he patiently advised us on what was reasonable and what we should expect through the process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone who has an extension of alteration to their home which requires a little more attention to detail. he has a great way of explaining things into laymen's terms and gives the confidence that is so needed when dealing with the mystical forces of planning council departments.

Chris was so helpful with his advice and guidance and very patient with our ever changing ideas.He made quite a daunting process of applying for planning permission, stress free and we are looking forward to working with him further as our project gets consent and we can start.

The principle of bringing the view inside was so right, including the infinity glass. Just works a treat.

It looks fabulous - so different and unique...

It’s a big room with a high ceiling but the oak makes it feel really warm. Spending time together as a family is really important to us and this room is ideal for that. I can be in here and the children can be doing their homework or playing in the garden and I can still see them. It’s a beautiful building and we’re thrilled with it.

He satisfied the brief fantastically by incorporating our ideas and bringing ideas of his own to enhance the whole solution and provide a great living space that is sympathetic to the house and grounds it enhances and provides a realistic solution

It is a great pleasure to work with Appropriate Design Solutions. Chris has been proactive from the outset and demonstrated invaluable knowledge of the planning process, structural engineering principles and product. He quickly understand our somewhat vague brief and guided us to the perfect design for us, all in a short timescale thanks to the pragmatic design & communication approach. This design wasn't easy as we have a classic 1889 property at the centre with multiple ill-conceived past extensions to rectify and restore the integrity of the original building.

Chris from Appropriate Design Solutions has been an absolute pleasure to work with! He is a true professional but also down to earth and makes the process of dealing with building plans much easier and less stressful. He always answers the phone and promptly replies to emails and always offers support with anything regarding the extension we are trying to build. They also act as a liaison between us and the council which is another plus, as it's one less thing to worry about for us. I highly recommend working with this company, they are amazing
