Kevin from McGurran Associates first contacted me via our builders about 18 months ago. Myself and my wife had a meeting with Kevin. We gave him some ideas and 2/3 weeks later he came up with a fabulous design and drawing of our contemporary modern single storey house .

He designed the back of the house with lots of glass to take advantage of the south facing sunny aspect – just what we wanted. We have now been living in our new home for 3 months and we love it. Thanks to Kevin and his team we would have no hesitation in recommending anybody who wants to self build to contact Kevin. Very professional and easy to talk to.

The experience of working with McGurran Associates Limited was second to none. Their approach to every aspect in the design and build concept of our home was professional yet personal. McGurran Associates have a passion and drive to provide each client with exactly what they want and more. They created for us a idyllic build that we never could have pictured for ourselves, a place that is now become a treasured family home.
We would have no hesitation in recommending McGurran Associates to anyone building or renovating a property. As a company they are warm, welcoming and tremendously helpful. They were patient with our design aspirations and the creation of our home was a journey that truly started with their first class business. We would be more than happy to open our home and share our experience to anyone who would be considering such a project.
Also, their dog (Max) is wonderful.

“We are an elderly couple who were looking to build a house that would suit our particular needs now and in the future so we needed an architect who would listen. After a few failed attempts, we were recommended to consult Kevin (McGurran). We gave him our brief (quite a long list!) and he came back with a working design that ticked nearly all the boxes.

The design team spent considerable time taking account of the site to maximise the beautiful views and the natural light and talking to us to ensure that all our wish list was incorporated in the final design.

We were impressed with their creativity and ability to ‘think outside the box’ while at the same time, delivering a home that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical We are now settled into our new home and indeed it is all that we could have envisaged and more.”

Kevin designed our new build house. He listened carefully to what we wanted and coupled that with his design flare to come up with a stunning family home with quirks!! Totally recommend. His knowledge on planning issues is impeccable.
