“ Alexander of AR Architecture ran our project in 2011-2012. It's been a very challenging project involving complete remodelling of a large Victorian mansion block apartment in London. Given the limitations both from the budget side as well as from the licensing authorities, AR Architecture performed exceptionally, well, coordinating numerous subcontractors and suppliers, providing unorthodox design ideas, communicating with the licensing supervision, etc. ” (more…)
