Testimonials
“Chris from Vessel has been working with my wife and I for several months now putting together our project for a rebuild/extension of our property in Peverell, Plymouth. He has been great, sorting plans, planning permission and leasing with our builder for us. Has always been prompt, friendly and flexible. Would happily recommend Vessel Architects”

“We worked with Vessel to gain planning permission for alterations to our farmhouse in Modbury. We really enjoyed working through the designs with Simon and the scheme really meets our brief for the building. Creative, friendly and professional service – highly recommended.”

“We appointed Vessel Architects to produce plans and to liaise with the local planning department for the renovation and extension of our cottage barn conversion. The project was exceptionally complex to handle as the building is set within the curtilage of a Grade II* listed property, with the presence of owls and bats. Not only where the plans wonderfully thought out but his persistent ability and patience to deal with all the various authorities concerned was incredible. Well done Chris. We now have a very unique and comfortable home on the farm.”
