Testimonials
Roderick James Architects strives to have happy clients and we are very fortunate to work for enlightened, brave and adventurous people who are willing to embark on the self-build journey. We are always pleased to receive news back from our clients and how their new building has changed their lives.
‘We are delighted with your design and management of everything, and we really are delighted with the house, your professionalism, enthusiasm and efficiency. Thank you!!’
Mr & Mrs C
‘We thoroughly enjoyed working with RJA from concept to completion of our renovation project. Mike's sensitivity to the area's heritage and diplomacy with the conservation officer meant that we obtained planning consent with relative ease. The regular meetings with everyone on site were invaluable allowing us to contribute our ideas and watch our home evolve. The attention to detail for the interior has resulted in a house that is both a joy to live in and very practical.’
Alison & Robert Coombs
‘The cottage is proving a delight to live in. Thank you again for your inspired input…’
Mr & Mrs N.
‘It was our pleasure to share a lunch with you and your team without whom our lovely house would not have seen the light of day. The team were so enthusiastic and it was wonderful to see a group of professionals who love their work. After seeing some of the Grand Designs fiascos where the architects pushed the clients beyond their comfort zone, we were so reassured to find somebody who took our basic ideas, built on them, improved them but most importantly enabled them to happen.’
Christopher & Elizabeth Hall
‘...an inspiring visit from the completely wonderful Roderick James Architects last week. So lucky to be working with brilliant, dedicated geniuses. And living in the product of that.’

‘...once nervous first-time self-builders, we are now thrilled with the beautiful home crafted for us by Roderick James Architects. As with any build, our project was not without its challenges but these were always tackled in such a thoroughly professional yet friendly way that, once underway, we never doubted the resulting house would be as spectacular as it has turned out to be’
Claire Laing
‘We love living in The Croft House. It’s very warm and cosy and costs hardly anything to heat. The design is beautiful with plenty of natural light which we love’
Jim Manthorpe
‘You have designed a house which is just right for us and have made many helpful suggestions which we may not have considered originally. We are delighted with the house’
Freda & John Beston
“The specialist knowledge of building a timber frame home that RJA has, was manifest in full when we moved into our fabulous house. The professionalism, skill, and diplomacy of our architect kept us sane from start to finish (and beyond)”
