We have completed two major projects with Gosch and the quality of design and finished result has helped us fully realise what we had hoped to achieve.
Simon’s superpower is to embrace all our ideas and then step them up, adding in real innovation, appreciation of the value of space and light, practical functionality and visual appeal.
There is no doubt we have ended up living in spaces with the ‘wow’ factor and benefitted from increased property value because subsequent buyers have also appreciated the design of the properties.
I recommend that anyone contact Gosch and get their ideas included in any project.

Gosch Design was fabulous to work with from start to finish. Simon's design made our old house light and airy and yet was sensitive to the age of the house. He over saw the construction team well, ensured all permitting was in place, was easy to communicate with and made the project a pleasure. We truly loved the result. More...

Simon designed and supervised the extension to our Edwardian Era house in an imaginative and contemporary way that has significantly enhanced the house: visitors to the house have been universally complimentary about that. Working with Simon was a pleasure and we would not hesitate to work with him again. More...

The team delivered a great design based on our initial concept discussions and the space has stood the test of time and active use. Superb.

We were really lucky to have Gosch Design working on two seperate Projects - the first year we had a what looked like a quite forward roof extension - but not easy with Wandsworth council! Simon done a great job convincing the council, overseen all work and added unique features that made the result very special. After this positiv experience Simon started planing for an extension to the back - we called it a "glass box", but Simon's suggestions were so much more - the details added made all the difference! His designs are clear in structure, there is always attention to detail and he never forgets practical aspects which you will appreciate living in the space later. Simon is very gentle diverting clients from ideas that would not work (thank you !) and we still get lots of compliments that the extension is the most perfect addition to the house. More...

Simon helped us think through and plan a total renovation of our 'Old School House'. He was terrific at really understanding how we wanted to live as well as how we wanted the property to look and feel.
Proportion, design and flow all work to create an effortless home to live in. Whilst open plan it offers all the 'spaces' we were looking for.
During the build phase he was on site to change things 'real time' as the inevitable surprises cropped up. He built harmonious working relationships with the builders and other suppliers to encourage creative solution building.

Simon did a brilliant job for us on a ground floor extension to our house, from the initial design right through to completion. His designs were excellent - far better than the ideas put forward by the other firms that quoted. His detailed plans were exactly what we wanted - he really took the time to listen to our preferences and put forward a range of potential solutions. The builders he selected were very good and his project management kept the building work on schedule and to a high standard. He managed the builders with a mixture of persistence and charm, so he always kept them onside. He is always friendly, easy to deal with and willing to help. I also particularly like his willingness to work on a number of minor projects we've undertaken since then, which can't have been worth his while financially but which demonstrate his willingness to support his clients.

The whole process with Gosch Design was very straightforward. Simon was understanding of our requirements for the basement and top floor projects and explained the planning application process clearly.
We were kept up to date on the progress of the application, which was passed seamlessly.
Gosch produced some excellent drawings with different options for what was quite a challenging basement and top floor project.
I would definitely recommend them for the high standard of their work and excellent customer service.

Gosch did a full redesign and extension to my house. The results were spectacular and they were a delight to work with.
Leigh Brownsword
We approached Gosch Design Ltd to discuss our kitchen extension, and ground floor layout, after seeing their impressive portfolio of work and attention to detail.
Gosch came up with several very interesting layout options for the whole ground floor and took into consideration our need for maximum, discrete storage space, as part of the brief for a contemporary kitchen extension.
After choosing our preferred option (a difficult decision) Gosch liaised with the contractors throughout the project, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to completion. We could not be happier with our new kitchen extension and the reconfigured ground floor layout.
PS Gosch were also a pleasure to work with

We see architectural design as an amazing three dimensional puzzle. Every project is an opportunity for us to imagine new patterns and configurations of space and light, to arrive at the optimum design for our clients.
Why should our clients choose you?
We make sure we look at every project afresh and from all angles. We consider every possible option, leaving no stone unturned, ensuring our clients get the best possible result.

Online or remote services are possible for planning or permitted development applications. We'd just need some photographs of your property, along with basic measurements - we'll walk you through what is required. We can discuss the project online via Zoom or Teams, or other similar applications.
