“Very tenacious on achieving planning permission for a challenging project.
Highly original end result. His attention to detail was well beyond expectations.
The finished house sits exceptionally well within the landscape of the plot. It is architecturally superb and unique.”

We booked an online consultation with Joel because we didn’t know where to start with extension plans for our kitchen. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to help us make a start.
The online session was really engaging and informative and Joel suggested some brilliant ideas which helped us to bring our vision to life. It was so exciting to see how our new space could look.
I am so glad we booked this consultation. Such a great experience and completely free! We are much clearer now about what we want and how we need to go about this process.
Thank you very much.
Highly recommend!

“Transform Your Home – Simply WOW!
We’d been considering a rear house extension for a while but weren’t sure what would work best for our growing family. That’s when we reached out to Joel at Transform Your Home - and we’re so glad we did!
Joel completely blew us away with his creativity, sketching live over our existing house footprint. Instead of a rear extension, he showed us how to maximise our space by integrating the double garage. The interactive session was exciting, and we couldn’t wait to see what he’d suggest next with each new stroke of his sketch.
The best part? This incredible service was absolutely free! We now have a clear vision and plenty of ideas on how to move forward. If you’re thinking about transforming your home, we highly recommend this 5-star service!”

Joel has been such a pleasure to work with. His approach is generously collaborative, creating space to explore ideas with gentle nudges towards new approaches and directions. Joel deeply cares about the design, but more so, the person sat across the table and what they are seeking to achieve. We have been really happy with the results of our work with Joel and his expertise.”

“We booked an online session with Joel to get a second opinion on the design of our new build house project, following a few niggles we had about the design (designed by a different architect). The online experience was exceptional and engaging. Joel has a deep understanding of how a house should flow and brings real creative flair to the design and space planning/utilisation. Wishing now we'd commissioned Joel to do the full house design from the beginning. Fully recommend anyone commencing on a house project to get in touch with Joel!”

“I have dealt with Joel and mutual clients for some time now and it is not a surprise to see that not only does he deservedly win salubrious and pioneering tenders but he is a success in all that he does as a full service Chartered RIBA Architect.
It’s refreshing to see that Joel’s practice stands proud of its competitors and I would have no issue in referring any of my clients to him as I already have.
This is your man if you want real inspiration with any genre of real estate project.”
Patrick Daniels
“Joel’s at the peak of his professional career, the experience, knowledge and connections are massively impressive. I’ve been lucky enough to stay in properties locally and as far away as the Outer Hebrides that he has designed. The design detail both practical and fanciful has blown me away (the low window ledges to capture the Hebridean beach while lying in bed being a favorite). Creative talented architect / artist at the top of his game.”

“Excellent consultation held with Joel, he explored multiple concepts, maximising the space available at our property. I would highly recommended this service to anybody looking to unlock the true potential of their home.”
Sarah Bellamy
“I would definitely recommend Joel for any projects. He managed to keep the gorgeous character of our period property by sympathetically increasing the floor space. Thanks again for a tremendous job.”

“We've worked with Joel Firth on many different projects, both residential and commercial, it's always a joy. Joel listens - which is so important for a client and helps us to think outside the box. We've always enjoyed working with Joel on any design/architect/build projects.”

“Our project was to demolish our existing two bed bungalow and replace with a four bedroom house. We turned to Joel for help and we haven't been disappointed. He presented us with a fantastic design which is now complete. The project ran smoothly, on time with no major issues.”
Tony Prosser CEO REALTIME
“We had a great experience working with Joel, he is a true visionary and brings strong creative themes to a project. His experience and brilliance within the world of architectural design are truly first class. We found him very easy to work with, always helpful and open to collaborate with us on some of our own ideas and needs.”

“We had a great time with Joel this afternoon working up what could be done with a house we are in the process of buying. His 'Transform Your Home’ service was exactly what we needed at this stage of the process. He listened to our thoughts and added many great and creative ideas. We are looking forward to working with Joel as the project progresses.”
Zee Acton
“I had a fabulous experience through this online service, Joel has so much knowledge and is clearly a skilled architect. He was able to take my ideas and expand into what’s actually possible, which ideas would work and which needed to change. His own suggestions were eye opening, drawing on his years of experience and using fantastic software to show me drawings in real time through screen share I was able to see how incredible the house could look with relatively small additions and changes. Highly recommend this service for anyone who’s in the initial planning and ideas stage for their property upgrade!”
Tracey Bell
“I wholeheartedly recommend Joel Firth for transforming your home. His insightful expertise and keen attention to detail make him the perfect partner for anyone seeking inspiration to remodel their living space. If you’re looking for ideas, he’s the one to turn to!”

“G J Brookes Ltd work with Firths on a regular basis on projects throughout Lancashire. We have a very good working relationship and find them to be a very professional company to deal with. We would recommend Firths to any of our clients requiring the services of an Architect.”

“I used Firths while setting up my business in Lytham. I had a great experience working with them. They were professional and had a vast knowledge, as well as great working relationships with the planners. I look forward to working with them in the future and would recommend them to others.”
Scott Gall
“From our first meeting Joel took time to listen to our thoughts and what we wanted before adding his considerable expertise in coming up with something that worked for us and was significantly better than what we had hoped for. Joel and his team are thorough in their planning ensuring good communication and approachability throughout the process. They use the latest methods to ensure that design will be achievable and will work. Their 3D virtual visualisation really was a fantastic way to ensure we were able to truly visualise the design and ensure that it was exactly what we wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend Firths based on our experience, and look forward to taking the next steps to turn the plans into reality.”
