Testimonials

"This was our first time working with an architect - a step into the unknown: I’m pleased to report it was a great experience that produced an amazing result. Claire conceived a fantastic, modern, ground-floor rear and side extension that complemented our detached, 1928-build house. We wanted to avoid an off-the-shelf extension so approached Claire for something unique and complementary – and she delivered. Claire created a design that reflected the building’s structure and struck the perfect balance of materials and on colour and form, to produce a finish that’s natural and eye-catching. The design harnesses the property’s south-west-facing position to ensure the inside is bathed in lots of natural light all year around. She paid great attention to environmental considerations, too, taking steps to ensure the extension was as energy efficient as possible. Claire worked tirelessly throughout: from building our requirements into the design to resolving challenges such as local authority planning constructively and collaboratively.

We’re very happy with the outcome and would have no hesitation in working with Claire again."

Molly's Place Clients

"I was recommended C Scerri Architects by a contact, and right from the first meeting, I felt Claire immediately understood what I was looking for in my house extension and refurbishment. She took the time to understand my need to maximise space and natural light, carefully thinking through the options and offering different design ideas to help me visualise everything. I am delighted with the transformation. The extension fits perfectly with the rest of the house and the new open-plan layout optimises all the space. Claire was extremely attentive with an eye for detail and a wonderful design flair. Her innovative and creative ideas really helped to achieve what I was looking for.

I would highly recommend Clare Scerri to anyone.”

Islington Loft Clients

"For us, investing in an architect was a big commitment, so we spoke to a few practices and, following our introductory call, we quickly appointed Claire to get us through planning. From the very beginning, Claire was incredibly thorough and ensured we understood the process fully. We had a few ideas of what we wanted to achieve and Claire worked with us to bring them to life."

Forest House Clients

"I made contact with Claire as she had a proven track record having worked with other residents in my street. There were a few quite significant potential issues with my plans and there were certainly no guarantees that I would be given permission to complete the development I was hoping for, and certainly not in its entirety. Having only worked with one architect previously, I didn't have much to compare Claire's work with and my project was very much in her hands. I was very impressed with the clear, consistent and thorough support Claire provided from start to finish. The regular video calls helped to clarify every detail of my project and these were always backed up with emails following our conversation. I found this to be extremely reassuring. I knew that upon submission of my planning application, I couldn't have done any more to get a successful result. I was delighted to be granted planning permission for the entirety of my project and really hadn't expected such a successful result.

Having benefited from Claire's advice and support throughout, it really felt like my project had become our project and most importantly, our success!"

Sidney Loft Clients

"I have worked with Claire on a number of development projects since 2014, and I have found her to be both proactive and pragmatic. During this time, it has usually been in the capacity of a planning surveyor to architect, but also, more recently, as a client to architect. Whilst architecture is sometimes difficult to convey to the public, Claire has an ability to forward a vision in a simplistic and understanding manner. With her grasp of both drawing and presentation, it fully informs the client or third party allowing positive and meaningful progress."

Fellow Consultant

"The relationship between a builder and architect is extremely important, and from our perspective as builders, the most valued characteristics in an architect is a considered, collaborative and most important of all, practical approach to design. Claire is exactly this kind of architect – she puts her clients and construction partners at ease and always finds the perfect balance between brilliant architectural flair and practical, clever design. We loved working with Claire, and very much hope to again."
