ExcellentBased on 16 reviewsHeather NewtonSeptember 20, 2024Rick has been helping us with ad hoc consultancy for our complex renovation project, and he has been absolutely fantastic. He has helped us figure out windows, room layouts, various internal structural elements, and more. He always has pragmatic advice on whether a change is 'worth' making. Rick also spotted a huge opportunity that was right under our noses but we simply hadn't seen it - to turn a section of our house into a self-contained annex. Whenever we have had a question, however random the topic, Rick has responded with expertise and enthusiasm. I would 100% recommend Tholos Architects.Jean-Philippe MonetteJuly 12, 2024One of my friend referred me to Tholos to investigate the feasibility to do a loft conversion. I managed to schedule a call within an hour with Rick and get all the answers I needed. Super professional & helpful - thanks!Naomi BonafouxMarch 1, 2024Rick demonstrated exceptional efficiency and professionalism throughout the project. He not only completed the task promptly but also exhibited a high level of competence in handling every aspect of the job. Rick's ability to swiftly address any feedback and challenges with professionalism was truly impressive and contributed significantly to the success of the project. His reliability and trustworthiness were evident throughout the collaboration. Would definitely work with him again.Tina CrawfordJanuary 31, 2024Fabulous! Tholos designed our stunning new bathroom- Rick looked at house we lived and our needs and went through a few options. So pleased with the result!SARITA BUTCHERJanuary 31, 2024We had the most seamless, timely and reassuring experience of a stressful refurb project during the height of lockdown. We met Rick 6 months before we knew what was about to hit the world! It was the biggest home improvement project we were about to embark on and needed the crew to be a good fit, with us, and to make happen, the end result. We met with three other architects before we met Rick and it was an instant match. Rick tapped into our vison immediately and the rest is history. We couldn't be happier with our refurb , the Zen, the style and colours, textures, the quality (and budget) of recommended material. Thank you so much Rick!George RamsayNovember 1, 2022I'm an engineer that works with Tholos Architects on a regular basis. It is always a pleasure working with Rick & Giovanni - They always go that step further to ensure that the projects are coordinated and that every detail has been considered. This means that there are usually much fewer issues on site, which makes my job much less stressful!Nahro HusseinOctober 30, 2022Very good honest hardworking reliable team that can be trusted troughout the building project from start to finish ! Iām highly recommended this staff can take u throughout your feature home dream thanks for there responsibility and trustSteven KingOctober 27, 2022We engaged Tholos just over a year ago to design a large loft and rear extension on our old period house. We loved the enthusiasm with which the team proposed workable solutions that would not impact the character of the building. The team subsequently produced very comprehensive building regulation documentation that allowed us to start work on our dream project. They also assisted us in overcoming hurdles for acquiring our party wall agreement. During the build Tholos were consistently on hand to provide advice and pointers. Great service that went above and beyond.Rob MorrisMarch 22, 2022Very professional and efficient service. Rick understood my needs very quickly and has delivered plans as promised ahead of his own estimate of time required. Highly recommended.Ivan ErmolovFebruary 14, 2022We worked with Tholos Architects to carry out a complex project of house extension and renovation in Central London for one of our clients. Throughout the whole process, Rick and his team were very detailed and professional, keeping us and the client regularly updated. They did an impressive job, taking into the account all the details. Team's talent was truly shown, adding maximum space and creative design as well as foresee many potential problems or fix them timely. The project was completed on time and without any issues. Great service, professionalism and collaboration. Would highly recommend these guys!
