I met Myrtille through him working on someone else's project and found him to be friendly and dependable. He will keep in touch throughout a project to keep you in the loop, any calls or emails you make he will answer quickly. He is very trustworthy and more importantly his work is good! Myrtille has an eye for detail and he is very artistic. This is my first project of this nature but I would gladly hire him again.
Poynts Works Ltd
Rating: 5 out of 5
Architectural Designer in London
I'm an ARB Registered Architect with 18 years' experience designing residential extensions, renovations and conversions across London. I work directly with homeowners from the earliest ideas through planning permission, Building Regulations and, where required, construction on site. Every project begins by understanding how you want to live. Using sketches, 3D models and visualisations, we can explore different options together before you commit to building work, giving you confidence that the design is right for your home and your budget. Once the design is agreed, I prepare the detailed technical information needed for construction and remain closely involved throughout the build, helping resolve questions on site and ensuring the original design intent is delivered. If you're considering extending or renovating your home, I'd be happy to arrange a free initial conversation to discuss your ideas, the likely planning implications and the next steps.

Architecture- 18 Aug 2025
Despite some initial positives, the project was ultimately marred by poor communication, unprofessional conduct & serious breaches of trust. We strongly advise against using Bluelime due to the stress, financial impact, & unresolved issues we faced. While kitchen & bathroom installations were OK & progressed quickly, Bluelime deviated from approved plans in a conservation area, causing compliance issues (estimated correction costs of £15–£20k). Heating & insulation were poorly installed, & second opinions confirmed our dissatisfaction. Communication broke down, with responses defensive and intimidating. Costs rose unexpectedly (e.g. door fitting from £1200 to £2640) & inflated quotes in later stages. The property wasn’t ready for move-in multiple times, disrupting our young family. Additional concerns included missing tools, ignored warranties, inconsistent workmanship & misleading claims about affiliations. We urge others to check Bluelime (Alton Campbell) on Companies House.

Omar designed stage 4 plans for my loft extension. He was very helpful and asked lots of great questions in the briefing stage, and then spent time adjusting the previous plans I had for planning permission to get the maximum ceiling height and light. The ceiling height is not something I had thought of but really makes the space. He was also quick to send references and his previous clients were also very positive about their work with him. I would definitely use Omar again. Thank you Omar!

A 100ft extension that required a complete rebuild of the existing 1000 sq ft and a substantial steel package and design to deal with sub standard foundations. Mr Sedda was informative, provided a wealth of knowledge that helped to secure planning approval and delivered the detailed packages fast and with no mistakes. He interpreted my designs accurately bringing many of his own ideas to the design. Stefano is reliable with a wealth of professional knowledge especially in the planning and design arena. I would recommend him to anyone.

Working with LSD Architects on our new build in the Wirral has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the outset, they took the time to understand our vision, helping us refine our ideas into a design that was both practical and beautiful. Their expertise in sustainable materials and clever space planning meant that every part of the house was carefully thought through. They balanced functionality with creative ideas. They also navigated the planning process seamlessly, ensuring our project met all necessary regulations while maximising what we could achieve on our site. Communication was excellent throughout the process. They provided clear drawings, 3D visualisations, and regular updates, which made decision-making so much easier. Their attention to detail was evident in everything, from the positioning of windows to optimise natural light, to their thoughtful recommendations on materials that suited both our aesthetic and budget. Now that the house is complete, it feels like a perfect reflection of our needs and aspirations: spacious, energy-efficient, and designed for the long term. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend LSD Architects to anyone considering a new build or other projects.

Architecture- 4 Oct 2018
We employed Olga to design a new rear extension, as part of a full renovation of a Victorian terrace. We wanted an extension that created as much new living space as possible, focused spend in specific areas and was different to the standard 3x3m box extension. We were nervous as we’ve never attempted anything like this before and didn’t know where to start. We chose Olga over other architects as she was a great communicator in her initial responses, she reassured us she would help us through the process as well as designing the extension, she listened to our requirements and showed real creativity when we first met. Having now worked closely with her we can confirm our initial impressions were right. She has been great. The design is beyond our initial expectations and it’s been a collaborative process where she's listened to our feedback and adjusted items accordingly. She has also helped us through each stage of the design, providing guidance on structural engineers, buildings inspectors, contractors, suppliers etc as well as navigating what was a tricky planning process. Everyone we’ve worked with has commented on the detail of her drawings and the quality of the design. The detailed schedule of works produced has made it easier to compare contractor quotes and make choices on the final design/finishes to get us closer to our budget. She has demonstrated real passion for our project and a genuine desire to make an incredible living space for our family.

Architecture- 31 May 2018
We enlisted the help of Kate from Loud Architects for a bathroom and bedroom renovation in our East London Grade II listed terraced house. We found Kate on MyBuilder.com where we were immediately drawn by her ability to quickly understand our requirements, flexibility to meet with us after work and at our home, and finally how she was able to translate our vision and multiple pinterest boards into achievable building plans. She is a top notch architect but also has fantastic design sense and creativity. Kate is incredibly organized, puts together comprehensive meeting presentations and notes, design updates, precedents, and 'to do lists' for our own research/sourcing needs. She's taken our initial idea of a en-suite and family bath conversion into a bathroom oasis that is beyond our initial imagination. From looking at our saved pinterest items, instagram posts, and houzz boards, she was able to put together a design incredibly in line with our tastes. Her attention to detail blows us away! We would absolutely recommend Kate and Loud Architects for any architectural and design needs. Once we've saved enough we will be using her for our next kitchen renovation project!

Restoration & Refurbishment- 11 Dec 2020
Gus and his team are outstanding workmen with top workmanship. I'm delighted with the planning, the work in progress and the parts that have already been completed. All contacts were fair and easy to understand. Work was broken up into bit size amounts so was affordable and easy to work my around, pertaining to work and family arrangements (Xmas period). All material used is off high quality, work areas were always left tidy and secure, works were always carried out safely, quickly and efficiently. I've already planned to do further works through Gus Desighns because a company who do exactly what they say they'll do, and more, is hard to find. It has been a pleasure thus far! This company is the living definition of professionalism.
