I am so glad we found DMWA right at the start of our big home renovation project (even before we bought the house, Sean did us a sketch to show the potential and he brought a planning consultant on board - he went the extra mile and that made such a difference in why we chose to work with him). Sean inspires complete confidence and is calm, professional and full of fantastic ideas and advice. He and his team helped us in so many ways, not only providing the plans and technical work, but also guiding us through the tricky bits of the project and putting us in touch with the most wonderful team of

We worked with Sean from DMW on planning and design for our family house and externals. From day 1 we clicked, and he made the process really enjoyable. He brought a vision that we couldn’t have imagined ourselves, and then we continued to work collaboratively with him and the fabulous builders he recommended (Howarth) to make the absolute most of the space, and to make it work perfectly for us as a family. Due to some minor alterations to plans with our garden, despite moving into the house 2 years ago we have remained in contact with Sean and he has continued to advise us and help push through

DMWA were recommended to me as an innovative & energetic firm of architects. They certainly lived up to their billing and delivered a new build design that successfully negotiated the minefield of the planning process! I found the whole team to be professional and very personable and very supportive as they patiently led me through the labyrinth of the planning process. They were very reasonably priced too. I heartily recommend them to any prospective client

I have worked with DMWA and the directors for several years over several projects. Their designs, around our discussed requirements, are always innovative and fitting to the brief. Beyond initial design, the guys have been keen to see progression of their projects and offer assistance where required.

Our company has been working with mostly Sean & Mark for just over 18 months and we have been very impressed with what they have created for us so far. They are very creative with their ideas, professional, but above all, provide great value. They don't just provide drawings & designs. They will advise you on planning, building regulations, even recommending the right builder for your project. I have also used them for my own property and would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family.

Sean and Ryan designed The Ark and The Kitchen in Poole Park and also our own home. Their vision has made them what they are today and we are very happy with the result. We find everyone at DMWA very approachable and they make what could be a dull process rather fun. Sean always says to us 'Form follows function' and that's exactly what he did for us! Very highly recommended.
