We used C8 to design and manage a complete renovation and extension of a very sad and tired 1970s house. They listened to what we wanted and delivered - some of the ideas we would not have come up with ourselves and all worked well. The results are fantastic - everyone who has been to our house has been amazed by the attention to detail and the practicality of the design. So - if you are going down the ugly house to lovely house route, definitely give C8 a call. Ours was not the first project of the this type nor will it be the last I suspect.

When we decided to extend our house, we talked to a few architects without being really convinced by any of them. They all seemed to propose a standard “box at the back”. I had seen properties in my area that looked different from the others for their simple, elegant, modern and light lines. I found out they were designed by Concept Eight. Once we had the chance to meet Mufajel and his team we knew it was the right fit for us. They spent considerable time to understand what our vision for the space was and how we intended to live it. They were happy to explore many different configurations, often surprising us with their clever and original ideas. They were able to create a place that feels (at least to us) special the moment you walk through the front door thanks to the use of lots of glass features and interesting ideas that merge the inside and the outside. A large glass wall and an interesting roof-light that “slices the room” letting the light and the view of the trees in are two of the best features of our project. Attention to the light, original designs, use of unusual materials are all element that make Concept Eight stand out and I would definitely recommend them.

We used Concept 8 to completely renovate our house. They were very professional with their approach to the design, planning and dealing with suppliers and the local council. We had several meetings through the design stage as they were keen for us to obtain the correct living space for our needs .Once on site we met every two weeks to monitor the progress, including monthly valuations. Concept 8 managed the entire project through to snagging and handover. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Concept 8.
