Shear Architectural Design Ltd

"Darryl created the perfect dual space for us. A beautiful family home shared with a Montessori preschool. We will definitely be using Darryl again for our next project"

"Working with Darryl has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and was genuinely invested in bringing our ideas to life. His architectural drawings for our extension were not only precise and detailed, but also incredibly thoughtful—he made the most of our space in ways we hadn’t even considered. What really stood out was how easy he was to work with. He listened carefully, offered practical advice, and guided us through the planning process with real clarity and patience. Nothing ever felt rushed or overlooked, and he was always happy to make adjustments to ensure everything was exactly right. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and creative, Darryl is an excellent choice. We’re absolutely delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Darryl and Debbie at Shear - they have been absolutely incredible on our extension project. We've never taken anything like this on before and they held our hand through the whole process - we've changed our minds numerous times and they have always been supportive, patient and incredibly understanding. I can't recommend them enough and we would 110% work with them again."

"We used Shear Architectural Design for our loft conversion and were extremely impressed. Darryl was friendly, polite and professional right from the start. We knew what we wanted as our dream, but we were concerned that it wouldn’t be achievable within our space and budget. Darryl managed to come up with a very clever design that surpassed our expectations. We are over the moon with the result! We were also particularly impressed with how well he worked with our builder. We would definitely use Shear Architectural Design again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!"

"Darryl is a very forward thinking, dynamic yet sensitive architect. He has amazing ideas and you can tell he really cares about what he does. He took time to get a true feeling for our home before making any suggestions about what could be done. His ideas were really unique and totally in keeping with the style/period of the house. He is an absolute pleasure to have around and it's obvious that he is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable but also hugely passionate about his work. I would recommend Darryl to anyone. He is a really lovely, genuine man who will do all he can to help you get the results you are looking for. Don't hesitate to use him, you won't find anyone better!""
