Alessandro Caruso, ACA's co-founder, suffered an almost fatal motorbike crash in 1994. Consequently, he spent 6 months confined to a hospital bed, in an unfit for purpose, noisy and clinical environment. Thereafter, upon recovery and grateful for the second chance, Alessandro was inspired. As a result, he promised himself to design better building environments for any user group.

I'm delighted to have had a consultation with ACA.
We're looking to have a kitchen/diner knockthrough, and an extension to give us more space.
Alessandro was very thorough and professional, and talked through the different options.
At the end of the session we had a clear idea of what we should go for, and how we should proceed.
ACA has a very impressive portfolio, and having seen Alessandro's expertise first-hand I'd have no hesitation in recommending ACA.

Alex and the team are extremely professional, but remain friendly and down to earth. I have been working with Alex on a planning application submission and he has assisted me through my learning journey and supported the business at every stage of the project. We are very impressed by the dedication, proactive approach and quality of work from the ACA team.

We approached Alex and Amelia to help us with ideas for improving our living space at home. They came for an initial meeting and chat about the project and said they would come back with ideas soon, which they did.
Wow, they really hit the brief and more, and inspired us both, needless to say we are moving forward with it all now.
Communication has been fantastic, and both Alex and Amelia are a pleasure to work with.
We really look forward to the end result.

ACA architects worked with us to achieve a wonderful and incredibly useful addition to our home. We had ideas about what we wanted to achieve but didn’t know how to start or the process we needed to follow. We were impressed with the design ideas and were thankful ACA were able to speedily obtain the planning consents we needed. Although ours was only a small project the service we received was professional, supportive and truly first rate”.
