“We have been working on an unusual project for a private client, who wishes to construct a building to house rare ferns. Our proposal is for a contemporary interpretation of the sunken Victorian fernery, and incorporates an elliptical retaining structure of gabions with a curved glazed roof. We commissioned Gladwood to run a thermal model and condensation risk analysis on our design. Their assessment provided a detailed projection of the environmental conditions within the fernery throughout the year, and will enable our client to select the appropriate species of ferns to plant when the project is complete. We found Gladwood to be professional and responsive, and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.”

“Gladwoods architectural background and knowledge stood out to us when we were looking for a company to produce an oak frame extension design for our converted Barn. Their previous experience, professionalism and obvious passion for architecture made them the obvious choice for such a bespoke request and they did not disappoint. We cannot thank them enough for producing a design beyond our dreams; we are thrilled with the end result. We highly recommend using Gladwood, especially if you are looking for something special in your design.”

“Myself and my husband approached Gladwood in 2014 as we have a lot of land to the rear of our property that we wanted to develop into a small scale residential development. Gladwood designed a beautiful little development and following a very challenging 18 month planning application we were delighted to be granted planning permission. We were kept fully up to date during the entire process and found the staff very pleasant and easy to speak to. We would highly recommend Paul’s architecture; he goes above and beyond to produce the best possible design and planning results.”

“During a recent project at Bishop Grosseteste University College, Lincoln, we appointed Gladwood Design to carry out the air pressure testing on the new extension to the Sibthorpe library. Gladwood provided helpful advice which, together with pre-test inspections and reports, helped us to achieve a satisfactory test. The testing was carried out with a minimum of disruption to other ongoing works and Gladwood worked with us to meet our tight programme. We received an excellent service from Gladwood Design and have no hesitation in recommending them.”
