"We first met Ivy in November 2002 having exchanged contracts on a period house in Wimbledon in need of complete renovation.

Her efficiency, frankness and wide variety of ideas appealed immediately to us and over the course of the project were to prove to be her unfailing strengths. Ivy displayed a great ability to take our views into account and incorporate them with her creative ideas. Given the scale of the project it was immensely reassuring to know that Ivy was in total control and was thorough and very approachable throughout.

Ivy is a highly effective and efficient individual and we are really delighted with the final results."

Paul Hale & Mary Kennedy-Hale, Wimbledon

"I consider myself very fortunate in discovering Ivy.

She took on board all my requirements and produced excellent ideas from the initial meeting and throughout the design stage.

The finished drawings were submitted quickly to Wandsworth Council and full planning permission granted without further hindrance.

Ivy's input and professionalism took me smoothly through that difficult and potentially traumatic planning stage without incident. Her skilled and sensitive contribution helped me get the project off the ground and also gave me the confidence to continue with it to fruition.

I would recommend her to anyone considering an architectural adventure without hesitation."

Brian Taylor, Battersea, London SW11

"Ivy is a feisty young architect who stands no nonsense from burly builders. Her design for my utility room was imaginative yet practical and was very sympathetic to the architectural style of my house. The end result was very pleasing and the whole project was stress-free thanks to Ivy's organisational skills and reliability. I can thoroughly recommend her."

Deanne Ward, Kingston, Surrey

"I commissioned Ivy Ngeow as my architect for a loft extension to a small Victorian converted flat in Central London. Her designs are inspired, imaginative and directional whilst remaining sensitive to the existing fabric of the building and conscious of the limitations of the budget.

This exciting and innovative scheme will add considerable value to the property, maximising the use of prime location space to the full."

Clair Whiteman, Fulham, London SW6

"Ivy Ngeow's creative solution to solving the internal layout involved opening up the flat onto the garden, which dramatically improved the light and overall feel of the flat. I am sure this enhanced both the 'letability' of the flat and its rental value. She also controlled the job well when it was on site."

Sue Adams, Wimbledon, London SW19

"We had a small site for two new build houses in Wandsworth, London. Ivy's creative use of space enabled us to build wonderful life-enhancing homes. No detail was too small, from overall design and specification, down to paint types and colours. An all-round professional with a flair for creative interior design - and a pleasure to work with."
