Testimonials

"We approached Richard Burnside Architecture to renovate and extend our small semi-detached dwelling. The thought of configuring the space, extending up and out to the side was daunting until Richard put our mind at ease offering imaginative ideas and solutions making the most of every square inch of space.

What started out as a formidable thought turned out to be a great experience, and we couldn't be happier with the result. We can highly recommend Richard Burnside Architecture as a first class architectural team."

William and Pamela

"Living close to Richard, I asked him how we could make better use of our layout and space. After a quick look round he came up with ideas almost instantly. Richard designed a layout that would bring increased light into our dark kitchen through a configuration that works extremely well for the practicalities of a young family. He also zoned the living space from the sleeping areas and included additional bedrooms and a garage.

Now every room links so well and the entire house just flows. Without Richard and his creativity, our light filled home would just be another house. "
