Our plans for alterations and extensions to a property in the Brecon Beacons National Park deliver the WOW! factor.
Simple but radical transformation of a garage to extend the house.

What impressed us about Stephen, from the outset, was his willingness to work within the budget with which we felt comfortable.
Rather than approach him with an idea of what we wanted, we instead presented him with the problems we were trying to solve and our perceived needs and nice-to-haves.
What we got from this was a series of ideas, many of which we had not thought of, that stimulated us to think about our home in ways we had not done before.
I employed Stephen Waldron Architects Ltd two years ago with the aim of attaining planning permission on a number of plots in the Pontardawe area.
It has been a pleasure working with Stephen in this time and I found him exceptionally knowledgeable and as a result, very easy to work with.
The project was potentially problematic due to its location; however Stephen approached it logically, using great design to overcome any reservations the local authority had.
Stephen was prompt in returning my calls and emails and kept me notified of every step of the process. The project required excellent communication skills and a degree of flexibility in dealing with the local authority planning office, which Stephen exhibited on a number of occasions, helping the applications go through as trouble-free as possible.
Stephen is a very likeable person which I’m sure counts in his clients’ favour when dealing with local authorities, and I found his approach to be very professional, with a personal touch.
I would definitely approach Stephen in relation to any future projects, and I would strongly recommend him to others.
From the offset, Stephen’s professionalism; knowledge; communication skills and detailed follow through on all aspects of the design and presentation to the Planning department were exemplary …… His foresight and recommendations for all aspects of the build to incorporate all of our requirements and ideas was a major reason we now have a finished build we are very happy with.
Stephen’s hard work and perseverance to push and negotiate through many stumbling blocks experienced from the authorities along the way are a major reason we have the property completed to the high standard we have.
Firstly we would like to thank Stephen Waldron Architects for designing our forever home. We absolutely fell in love with the design created from Stephen’s vision. Stephen is reliable and professional, his passion evident in his work. Stephen not only listened to our ideas but went so much further with the design. He gave us everything we wanted and so much more. The service provided was of a high standard. Stephen was committed to the project, engaging with us throughout the design/planning process and was always readily available either via phone or email. We would highly recommend Stephen Waldron Architects to anyone looking for an architect to help realise their dreams.
Like many architects, Stephen works alongside his clients, but it’s his inspirational response to exploring a design from the very outset that creates momentum to many challenging projects.
He fully interpreted our Brief, but also evolved his designs as different aspects of the project evolved
He was exactly on time and understood the potential administrative issues with planning etc and had allowed a realistic buffer to accommodate these
Stephen has always been very competitive, but brings the full weight of his experience and advice
He did more than add value, he inspired some of the foundational directions of the design, after hearing what we wanted.
During an initial consultation, I raised the question of whether Newham planners would allow me to divide my house into two flats. Stephen Waldron called and emailed the planners before he was even appointed and I really appreciate that because 8 out of 10 architects I had called yesterday said, this would be waste of time and money.
