Anna

We asked Paola to help us to design a new kitchen extension and she worked with us through to planning permission and building regulations. Paola came up with some great ideas and supported us as we navigated the planning permission process. Communications were easy and quick, mostly via email and on Zoom and we would be happy to recommend Paola.

Paola was a great help with the plans for our kitchen renovation/extension project. Very clear communication, super-fast responses to our queries, and walked us through the planning and building regs procedures.

David

The design of our kitchen extension was carried out taking in to consideration our needs and wishes. We were able to view the designs in 3D, which meant we had an opportunity to see clearly and envision ourselves in the space. Paola was extremely helpful and understood what we wanted to achieve and how best to do this. The result is a fantastic, practical and beautiful space.

Paola was recommended to us by one of her professional colleagues to assist us with the partial reconfiguration of the top floor of our Victorian semi-detached house. The project involved the removal and re-instatement of walls, ceilings, floors and roof supports to provide an enlarged bedroom with new en suite facilities and a refurbishment and enlargement of the existing family bathroom. Paola provided us with excellent, relevant advice on the design, technical and structural aspects of our project. Aside from the expected challenges associated with renovating a 150 yr old property, our builder had no difficulty interpreting Paola's drawings & plans (detailed construction drawings were not necessary) to provide us with the solution we had expected.

Daniel

Paola was our architect for a single story rear extension and was brilliant. She came up with ideas we didn't think about and was really responsive. The 3D drawings helped us visualise the space and the building drawings are detailed.

Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Paola.

Jack

We are very pleased with the work Paola has done on our house in Portishead. From beginning to end she has provided an excellent service. At our first meeting she suggested some interesting ideas and alternatives which we hadn’t thought of. The design process all went very smoothly and Paola was able to guide us through all the various applications. What really stood out for us was the way she was able to help us visualise the design layout she had in mind, which we are now very happy with!

I hired Paola back in September 2018 soon after buying my house as I wanted to make some changes to the layout. She quickly understood what I had in mind and suggested some great ideas to create a big open space with a nice modern feel. I would highly recommend her.

Paola did some designs for us for an extension downstairs. She came up with some really good ideas and the 3D drawings really brought it to life. She is very helpful and there was great communication throughout. I would definitely recommend her.

Paola produced my plans extremely quickly for me relating to two properties as I was in urgent need of them due to a delay in a house sale. She was extremely easy to deal with and was always professional. Lumio Designs come highly recommended from myself and will definitely be using her again if needed.

Jessie

Paola has produced a Land Registry compliant survey plan for us, which was required in a Deed of Variation. Paola was very quick to respond to my initial queries and her quote was competitively priced. On the day of survey, she was on time, friendly, very professional, and very helpful. She was considerate and respectful of the property, and her approach was methodical. Within the same week she produced the plan, which was happily accepted by our solicitor. Great pleasure to work with Paola and we look forward to working with her again in future.

Really happy with Paola's designs for our single storey extension. She was always speedy with her response and clear about the design and planning/building control process. Came up with some really great ideas which we hadn't consider but incorporated into our plans.

Paola is extremely professional. We communicated my requirements to split the titles for three apartments in one block by email. She listens carefully and is very prompt and thorough with her replies. Her work is very detailed and very carefully explained. I would recommend her to anyone as I was very pleased with the result.

Drew

Paola measured up my property to produce a lease plan for a deed of variation. She was very responsive and professional, and carried out the survey on very short notice, issuing the plan to me two days later. The overall cost was far cheaper than any other company I had quotes from. I would definitely recommend Lumio Designs and hope to work with Paola in the future!

Brislington, Bristol

Bill

We contracted Paola to produce a plan for our property in order to update the lease. Paola responded promptly to our request and produced an accurate plan. The plan subsequently needed to be updated and again this was done promptly and at very short notice. We have been very happy with all aspects of the job, and will happily supply a reference.
