Highlights
"Fourteen months after losing my husband and having my daughter recovering from a stroke I had to have my front entrance widened to accommodate my daughters wheelchair.Being on my own I used anon line search to find a reputable Architect.Jim from Glass Cube design contacted me,I immediately felt assured by his professional and caring attitude.All I had was a picture from a magazine,Jim designed the porch and took over all necessary paperwork I had no worries.He liased with the builder throughout.I will definitely recommend Jim from Glass cube design to all my friends."
"Jim & his team have been great to work with. Super efficient & friendly. Came out on the same day to quote & discuss and then within a few days for measurements to be taken. Drawings were then back with us just over a week later. They explained everything we’d need to know and offered support for a building if we needed one. Really happy with the designs and support from Glass Cube and would highly recommend - thanks all"
"We instructed Glass Cube to commence with the design for our double side storey extension and we were happy that we did! After speaking with various different Architects and not really receiving a genuine response, we contacted Jim from Glass Cube and he really got involved from the start and his team looked after our project from start to finish. They have a good team who work really well together and we fully recommend Glass Cube. R & AC"

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterSmart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
