We had not worked with Simon previously, but it was great to find someone locally, who immediately understood our outline design concept and then interpret that, into our ultimate vision. Simon and James fully appreciated our existing property style and tricky location, to ensure the finished build, was precisely what we had envisaged. The two of them make a great team and were always open, to challenges and/or new ideas throughout. Thank you for transforming our property and our lives! Chris & Sharon

Simon and the team are great! They helped us with creating our dream home in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We had to go back and forth a lot with planning which took over 2 years but they were persistent, very patient with creating several new drawings and finally got us approval for our self build. We cannot thank Simon enough!! Thank you!

We used the services of Roost Architects on two very different house renovations with completely different styles and structural needs. Both times Simon was able to enhance our vision and bring it to life. He made it simple to pass through planning and was really responsive to our needs. I would recommend them.

We approached 3 architects regarding a “project” to revamp our dated 2 bedroom 1970’s property in Menston. (1 architect that had been recommended to us, 1 who was local and 1 from an internet search - Roost architects of Ilkley) Simon initially visited the property and gave us some background regarding his company and examples of what they had designed. He then importantly listened, to our thoughts and ideas, how we lived our lives, how we saw our property and how we wanted it to look/flow. We had done extensions previously but not on this scale (from a 2 to a 4/5 bedroom property). He took our ideas away and came back with his assistant (Jack) and went through their plans. After a few very minor tweaks the plans were submitted. We had objections, Simon reviewed them and said he could not see anything to be worried about – he was right. The plans were accepted with no alterations. Roost architects listened to us, understood what would be acceptable and what wouldn’t, they had ideas and were excited about what we were doing, unlike the other 2 architects and nothing was too much. When we do another project we will definitely use Roost architects again. Thanks Simon and Jack.

From the moment we met Simon we knew he shared our vision and could support us through to making that a reality. The team were incredibly impressive producing 2 and 3D plans to help us envisage the changes and were always so quick to respond to concerns and questions. I would highly recommend them.

Great service offered by Simon and team - a real understanding of how we wanted to live in the space and use the environment. A thoroughly enjoyable design and execution process. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Simon designed our kitchen extension, very good translation of our ideas into a better functioning plan. Drawings done quickly and accurately, efficient service at a good price.

We have recently completed our architecture and building project, which we kickstarted in November 2019. We would highly recommend Simon and his team. From the initial meeting Simon has been responsive, professional and always pleasant to work with. The planning process was seamless and Simon’s team were always available to answer any queries during the build. Roost’s innovation has exceeded our expectations. We are REALLY pleased with the end product, which is a beautiful family home (with plenty of bells snd whistles !) … we have recommended Roost Architects to a number of our friends who are sharing the same experience.

We really enjoyed working with Simon at Roost. Simon brought some great design ideas and communicated these with some lovely visualisations. We were inspired to push the boundaries and ended up with designs we were really happy with. Roost helped us overcome some planning hurdles drawing on their positive relationship with Bradford Local Authority. Great service and very fair rates. We would recommend Roost to anyone who is interested in design.

Simon is an architect who lives and breathes design and his enthusiasm is infectious, this fires up any project to get the best configuration and bring it to life . Simon has done a couple of projects for me now and been on hand to advice on others too. He has a team of professionals also who can bring ideas to life - workable space solutions as well as an inspiring approach.
