    “Mitchell Eley Gould Architects have done an exceptional job to understand what we wanted and needed and to develop with us a scheme of works that has brought our existing home, built in 1980 up to modern standards such that power is generated, energy leakage is minimised and the air is fresh. The appearance of the house has also been transformed with a modern extension, a new layout and alterations to exterior finishes, these fit sympathetically with our location while presenting a point of interest architecturally. We have felt throughout that Kris Eley and the team have encouraged us to make our own decisions which has resulted in brilliant results that we are really pleased with.”

  • Woodland View

    ‘Its refreshingly modern sustainable design would help anchor it into the 21st century, avoiding pastiche, through its 'positive contrast' to the predominant local stone built mining cottage stock while being of a 'subservient' nature with its architectural design strongly acknowledging the surrounding rural setting’.
