What People Are Saying…
“Really enjoy working with all of the team at Block 9. Great balance of creative skills with an organised & professional approach to delivery. I have worked on a variety of interesting projects with them over the past 5 years and the one thing that really stands out is their ability to understand the constraints and practicalities of achieving good design within the boundaries of the project brief, wider client team and project budget. Block 9 listen and adapt to areas where I might suggest a structural engineering tweak to benefit the design pre warrant and are quick and pragmatic at resolving any issues during construction.”
— Calum Bennett, CBE
“Block Nine’s thorough understanding of the brief, their design vision and the understanding of the requirements of planning and conservation, building control, contractors on site and the end user has led to a highly successful development within a very restrictive listed building and site. All team members who worked on the project did so with great professionalism and we look forward to working with them again.”
— Arc Edin
“As Project Architect and Lead Consultant, Block Nine Architects fulfilled a key role in helping to maximise the full use of a highly complex building which sits on an exceptionally restrictive urban site in central London. Their ability to professionally deal with the demands of statutory authorities, licensing bodies and the end users requirements is fundamental to the success of the venue.”
— James McNeil, Pulse Nightclub
Consultants
“Block Nine Architects are an absolute pleasure to work with. Their designs are well thought out and presented in a modern, clean and considered manner. They are highly customer focused. They are equally at home working on contemporary state of the art projects, or historical renovations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”
— Kenny Telfer, Torridon CPM
“I have worked with the Block Nine team on many projects, and have found them to be highly professional, with an eye for attention to detail, and with an understanding of the client’s needs. I will not be going anywhere else for architectural services.”
— Mark Cullerton. Cullerton’s Estate Agents
“Very pleasant, professional and efficient team!.”
— Juan De la Pena
Clients
“The staff at Block Nine have been a pleasure to deal
with and we have built a very strong working relationship. Their perseverance and professionalism have helped us deliver successful schemes under some very testing circumstances.”
— Grant Rawlinson, Northumberland Street Properties
“We, at SRA Ventures Ltd, have been dealing with the team at Block Nine, mainly Sandy Anderson and Mark Donaghy, for over a year now. They have dealt with 6 different projects ranging from subdivision of industrial property, change of use and planning. They are very knowledge in all aspects of commercial and residential property. I find Sandy and Mark highly professional, efficient and competitive.
They are able to take the project of the client's hands and deliver the result with minimum intervention from the client. They are a delight to work with and would highly recommend them to deal with any property projects.”
— Susana Garcia, SRA Ventures Ltd.
“Block Nine Architects designed and obtained planning consent for 3 town houses despite strong local opposition to the development. Sandy and Stephanie were not only excellent during the design phase but also very strategic and practical when considering the headwinds we faced. Their fees were reasonable, advice sound and the eventual product / result was a great success. I can highly recommend Block Nine Architects for both domestic and commercial projects. It was a pleasure working with them.”
— Jonathan Bruneau
Contractors
“We’ve worked with the Block 9 team for a few years now on various high quality refurbishment contracts and enjoyed the process of successfully delivering these projects. We find that collaborative team working, the quality of construction information and the ability to constructively problem solve during the build stage of a project are essential in successful delivery. Our projects with Block 9 have all these traits and we would have no hesitation in recommending Sandy and his team to our client base for future projects. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Block 9.”
— Mike Hancock, CBS
“We have worked with Block 9 Architects on a few occasions as Main Contractors. Their Pro-Active, inclusive way of administering a contract makes you feel part of a team who are working together to produce a project which is successful for all involved. They take their role in the Construction Phase of a project seriously and are invaluable in helping when issues arise on site. We would not hesitate in working with Block 9 in the future. We would also have no hesitation in recommending Sandy or Steph to any of our clients.”
— Fraser Campbell, HM RAITT
“We at Zebra Property have worked with Block 9 as both contractor and also client. They are great to deal with. They think through things in detail, offer pragmatic solutions to complex problems and are always happy to help in whatever way they can. I could not recommend them more!”
