“We had a fascination with 20th century buildings… We hadn’t thought of applying contemporary design to the restoration of an old building before, but at Astley Castle we did…WWM responded with imagination, intellectual rigour and great enthusiasm.”
Martin Drury, The Landmark Trust
“Their approach in terms of the brief was to start from scratch and ask lots of questions. How is it going to be used? They are not just interested in the external renovation of the building; they want to ask how the kitchen will work, how do we want the café to function… They want to understand what is special about this building but they are also about working at a very practical level. Theirs is a very thoughtful, and creative process…That approach and process takes time and thought to evolve. But it is worthwhile at the end.”
Rose Jaijee, LB Waltham Forest
“One of their strengths is that they look at things project by project. They invest a great deal of time and thought in understanding the brief. Above all they don’t come with strong pre-conceived ideas, so you have confidence that you are going to develop a design solution together with them.”
Ernst Vegelin, Courtauld Institute of Art
