Head Teacher - Summerwood College

Having worked with Footprint Architects for the past 15-months, I can highly recommend them. They have been hugely supportive, innovative and approachable, which has led to the completion of our high spec Summerwood Campus. Summerwood is a post 16-19 provision for students with Aspergers Syndrome. The ultimate testament to Footprint Architects lies with our students. Not only did the team come in to discuss key things like wall colours, floor types and specific requests, the students themselves love their new provision.

Footprint Architects supported the school with the inception of the new and transformation of our old school buildings and listened closely to the ideas of the children, parents and staff. Their clear understanding of the needs of the school, combined with their approachability and dedication to the job made them a pleasure to work with and the finished product is outstanding.

Peter Truckel

Private Home Owner, Floating House

The initial design captured the essence of what we wanted immediately and needed very few refinements. The vision our architect demonstrated in working with a very difficult, steeply sloping garden was remarkable and the end result is elegant and refined, delivering way more than we had hoped. The entire project was expertly handled and a joy to be a part of.
