CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

What Our Clients Say

Trusted by homeowners, businesses and communities across Kent 

to deliver beautiful, practical and lasting archtiecture

Mr and Mrs Innes - Teal House

We had an excellent experience working with John on a particularly challenging project within a Conservation Area. From the outset, he provided creative design options, clear communication and practical advice throughout. Despite significant opposition, his professionalism, attention to detail and collaborative approach helped secure planning permission and deliver a design that blends seamlessly with the existing property. John was highly responsive, worked well with our builder, and remained committed to the project through to completion. We would highly recommend JV Architects.

Mr Taylor - Sunflower House

JV Architects carried out a delightful conversion, restoration and re-design of a dilapidated former chapel on Foord Road, Folkestone, to become one of the most delightful and well-appointed community venues in the town. Sunflower House, as the venue is now known, has become extremely popular for a raft of events, courses, meetings and parties. Invariably users remark on the friendly and tasteful aspect of the building, respect having been paid to its 19th century origins while delivering 21-century convenience, light, decor, warmth and usefulness. Both inside and out, Sunflower House is a gem. The project was on time and on budget with JV Architects accommodating every requirement of the trustees. David Taylor, chairman of trustees, Sunflower House.
