"We have worked with Studio 11 Architecture on numerous projects ranging in size and scope since 2015 and continue to instruct them time and again as their wide range of services means the vast majority of work on our sites can be handled by their team including planning, architectural design, structural engineering, roads and sewers design, energy assessments and water calculations. Saving us time and money not to mention making everything easier. They are always approachable and adaptable and deliver our projects on time, in budget and to a very high standard."Seagate Homes
"We instructed Studio 11 design a family home on a rural site in Lincolnshire which had previously had a planning refusal. The team took on the challenge and not only secured planning permission but designed a home above and beyond my expectations, opening our eyes to zero carbon possibilities. The team involved us in every stage of the design, met with us regularly and even took us to examples of their work to help us envision the plans for our future home. We start the build this summer and feel happy and assured we are in safe hands with the Studio 11 team to help us along the way on our self-build journey."Mr Marshall, Private Client
"We are very satisfied. We didn't feel the need for any other quotes, we were happy with the initial approach from Studio 11.Mr Goward, Private Client
The design exceeded our expectations and has totally changed our lifestyle."
"I appointed Studio 11 Architecture to carry out the detailed design on a high spec one- off home in Aston, Hertfordshire.Mr M Sandford - Stay New Homes
It was important to me that this project was as sustainable as it could be with a modern, eye catching design.
Studio 11 delivered above and beyond the remit of my brief. They created an inviting and inspiring space, provoking an indulgent lifestyle complete with a bar in the basement and light filled large living spaces.
The house is constructed in Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) and we used an air source and MVHR system to create an individual and energy saving home.
The grey slate and Siberian larch give a high-end finish, together with the sedum roof, glass bridge, and innovative design of the ground and first floor sitting at different angles mean this house definitely strikes you as a well-designed one-off high end home with a literal twist!
This project was not without its fair share of challenges but the Studio 11 Architecture team were great at coming up with practical and innovate design solutions for every hurdle.
This project is a testament to their skill and I have gone on to re appoint them for various other projects which are currently in the pipeline."
"We dreamt about an individual build combining warmth, space and simplicity. Using our favourite elements during the planning stages we have achieved a captivating lifestyle.Mr and Mrs Sadler - Private Client
Self-building our forever home meant we could connect with a sustainable world bringing the indoor-outdoor living holiday vibe into a relaxed home life.
This house is now our home."
"I recently appointed Studio 11 Architecture to design me a new 3 bedroom home that had a traditional look externally but was open plan, light and modern internally. The site I had purchased proved to have many planning constraints but Studio 11 Architecture overcame these with a simple design that responds to the site and fulfils my brief entirely. The success of this project reminds me why I continue to recommend Studio 11 Architecture to colleagues and friends."Mr A Bennett – Private Client
"Studio 11 appreciates the financial and time restraints on a project, and always delivers on budget, and on time. We can rely on Studio 11 to be there at the end of the phone to assist with the resolution of technical issues. Always professional, always helpful."Mark Croker – Company Architect Larkfleet Homes
"In 2009 we actively sought potential alternatives to our then current architectural consultant and we approached Studio 11 Architecture on the recommendation of a colleague who had recently completed a residential development project. Since then we have completed three sites and are currently in the process of developing a further three sites with up to eighteen dwellings on each. The knowledge and experience Studio 11 Architecture have in working for volume house builders have been invaluable in providing cost effective solutions to development constraints. Unusually for Architectural Technologists they have an eye for design and understand the positive sales effects that good design can provide. We look forward to working with Studio 11 Architecture on many more future sites."James England – Director Eco House Builders Ltd
