ABOUT Maria Escribano Architects Ltd
BACKGROUND
Maria Escribano Dip Arch (Building Design) RIBA has a large experience in architecture. She is a fully qualified Architect since 2000, when she started practising in her native Spain. Since 2005 Maria has worked for several local architectural practices in Devon gaining experience in a wide range of building types, from residential, educational and ecclesiastical to large University facilities.
We are members of the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). We are bound by the codes of professional conduct of these bodies, which protect the interest of our clients. This ensures we act with professional integrity and carry out our work in a competent way. We also hold a diploma in Interior Design by The Interior Design Institute in London.
We have done two projects together, both in London. We wouldn't have thought of using anyone else. Maria is very good at being on top of builders and operates brilliantly in a man's world. Her design and care for detail were fantastic.
Mrs Pinera, London
Maria was fantastic from start to finish, we told Maria what we wanted and she delivered that and more. We are really happy with the drawings and cannot wait to start building! We are building a two storey side extension. Would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for an architect.
Mrs Anderson, Exeter
We had a first class experience with Maria. She has given us exactly what we wanted and has behaved in a very professional way throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Roger Noden
Maria excelled with her design ideas when we chose her to design our new house extension. She was very professional and very efficient; I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs an Architect's services.
Mr. Bush, Exeter
We have been delighted with the quality of Maria's work and her attention to detail. She assisted us through every stage of planning our Grade II listed loft conversion, from the initial designs to liaising with builder and structural engineers and producing our application for planning permission. We were impressed with the standard of her work, the speed at which she responded to our requests and the fact that she understood what we wanted from our loft conversion and was able to offer us practical and elegant solutions with the final design.
Dr. Higbee, Exeter
We would highly recommend Maria's services having been impressed with the quality and professionalism of her work in association with our 2-storey side extension. Her attention to detail and communication were impeccable throughout the project. Maria's design suggestions during the planning stage were excellent and practical, improving significantly on our own initial ideas. She navigated us through the planning approval and tendering stages smoothly and we were very confident in employing her project management skills during the building stage, which was duly delivered to schedule and on budget. We could not have been in better hands!
Dr Tim J
"We spent a long time dithering about our project and Maria was not the first architect we consulted. However, we could never really satisfy ourselves that what we were considering, really suited our needs. Maria was able to put into practice a vision which seemed visually appealing and had practical benefits on a day-to-day basis. She also had a working connection with a local builder who reassured us that her plans could be transformed into reality.
Maria is positive, optimistic and knows her stuff. Any difficulties which arose were quickly resolved; she is very conscientious and is able to take you through the various stages such as planning, arranging the structural engineer’s visit and managing the build and payment schedule. Her on site visits were regular and helpful. The project has just been signed off and we are very pleased with the end result. A potentially stressful undertaking was overseen with great professionalism. Maria comes highly recommended and is very approachable.”
