At the heart of Inside Out’s approach is a strong desire to work with clients as closely as possible, creating spaces that are not only appropriate for a particular brief and site, but a design that is also personal to each individual client and integrated around their day-to-day life.
The process of design then becomes one of dialogue, not prescription. Throughout this process the architect will inevitably offer the client unimagined possibilities, but clients are also invited to challenge the architect to consider alternatives they may not have typically considered. This constant dialogue often allows a project to culminate in a manner that neither architect nor client might have expected.
“From the initial brief through to the final completion, the individuality of the project and working with the client is what inspires our team. Interpreting the client’s aspiration for the building is the initial stage but delivering the concept to exceed their expectations is where we excel.”
Chris Parker, IOA Director
"A creative and professional team always willing to go the extra mile to get things done."
James Firmin, No1 traveller
"We got in touch with Inside Out having seen some of their previous work and, having struggled to get planning permission in the past, they were great at helping us navigate the planning process while designing something exciting and unexpected. And despite our tight budget, they worked with us to get real value for money out of the project. As a result, we have continued working with them since."
Andrew, Aberavon Road and Bottle Apostle
"Through several projects, we have always been impressed by the knowledge, diligence and professionalism of the team at Inside Out. They overcome difficulties with inventiveness and flair and, to top it all, they are really nice people to work with."
Paul, Warren Holdings Ltd
"Chris Parker and Steve Kavanagh designed and delivered a complete transformation of our central London town house. They used their creativity to increase the useable space to better accommodate our family, whilst maintaining the double height perspective of the main reception floors and top floor. With their clever use of internal glass and minimalist design, they optimised the use of natural and artificial light to create a greater sense of space. The supervision of the building works was faultless and the finish impeccable. We love the result which is also much admired by our friends, some of whom have already engaged the Inside Out team to perform a similar transformation of their homes."
Emer, Monkwell Square
"Inside Out Architecture designed and project managed our extension in a confident, collaborative and responsive manner with great attention to detail. Our transformed kitchen/living space is a visual and functional delight and was delivered on time with minimal fuss whilst keeping a careful eye on the budget. Thank you for enabling us to love our home again. We would recommend you to all our friends. "
Jo, Ed, Eve, Jude and Celia, Rommany Road
"We are as pleased with the end result as we are with how much we enjoyed working with Chris' team throughout the entire process. From the creative design workshops through to the attention to detail of the spec and execution, Chris' team cannot be faulted on their expertise and client care."
Suzi and Lewis, New Concordia Wharf
