Testimonials

“During lockdown we used B W Macintyre Architects to appraise options and provide inspiration for converting our downstairs area into a space that would accommodate our large young family and provide an office area for home working.

Blair listened to our needs and presented to us idea to remodel, repurpose and make better use of redundant space. Throughout the entire process Blair was proactive and worked hard to ensure that the project, from concept to completion, was delivered to our needs, budget & taste. Blair helped us to see things differently and we are delighted with how the projected has turned out. He interfaced with our contractors and provided a good deal of flexibility and pragmatism when any small issues arose.

Blair communicates well, is diligent and really does provide a first class customer experience!”

Mr & Mrs Leith, Aberdeenshire.

“We have worked with Blair on a couple of projects and have been absolutely delighted with the end results. From design to completion Blair provided hands on technical expertise, creative and thoughtful designs and most importantly the collaborative working. It has been a real pleasure working with him, and the results speak for themselves!”

Mr & Mrs Hyland, Aberdeen.

“In summer 2020 Blair undertook the redesign of my business unit in Wiltshire, transforming it into a beautiful therapy space. As well as top-notch architectural know-how Blair brought design flair and people skills to the project, advising on the 'look', liaising with subcontractors and responding professionally and efficiently to challenges and changes as we went along.

Unlike many architects Blair is also a skilled craftsman and therefore understands the details as well as the big picture. He gave realistic advice around costs and budget and went the extra mile to achieve the outcomes I wanted. The result is a truly bespoke therapeutic space - warm and professional whilst maintaining the industrial character of the building.

Blair inspires confidence and was a pleasure to work with. Buster the dog enhanced the experience and is now much missed on site!”

Ms. Martin, Marlborough.

“We’re absolutely delighted with the work done for us on re-designing our main living space. Blair is exceptionally professional, has tremendous flair and imagination and is a real pleasure to deal with. He has gone the extra mile throughout the project. Very highly recommended.”

Mrs. Macfarlane, Aberdeenshire

“We recently engaged Blair (BWMA) to help us reimagine our newly inherited granite semi-detached house in the West End of Aberdeen.  During the design phase we were living away from Aberdeen, but Blair and his team worked well with this arrangement.  

They liaised with all the other consultants on our behalf whilst we were out of town and our initial meetings were held remotely, with follow up meetings arranged for when we were in Aberdeen.  

In the interim, we were kept informed and we used technology for us all to share design ideas and thoughts back and forth.

Going into the process we were largely unaware of what could be achieved and for what cost. However, Blair and his team completely understood our goals and prepared three different proposals – “small, medium and large” – with a number of consistent elements and themes shared between them and it would be fair to say that the proposed designs really exceeded our expectations. 

Unfortunately, we didn’t proceed past the design stage – a change of circumstances meant we ultimately decided to sell the property as-is, however we can heartily recommend Blair and BWMA.”

Mr & Mrs Greig, Aberdeen

“We recently moved in to an older properly, built in 1886 and as it stands currently the layout doesn’t really work well for family living. We approached B W Macintyre Architects as we wanted to add something to our property and seek the expertise to help it function better. We wanted something modern that would compliment the existing style of building. Blair travelled a long distance to us to have an initial conversation, where he spent time getting to know us, our requirements and how we wished to live in the house. He was patient and listened to our requests, giving us his initial thoughts and indications on what was/wasn’t possible. After this he was able to produce 3 options for us to look at and again, travelled a distance to be able to present these to us in person and talk us through how they would work for us. This was invaluable as we were able to clearly see the thought process he went through via the drawings but in addition a conversation was able to be had regarding any queries we had. Even though he presented 3 options, he was willing to revise these to a solution that worked the best for us. We have been really pleased with the process so far and look forward to seeing the plans turn in to reality one day in the near future.”

Mr & Mrs Macdonald, Inverness
