Project designed by John Pickup whilst owner of The Intelligent Design Centre.
“ John Pickup designed our house from concept to completion. He was creative and his attention to detail was impressive whilst still listening to our needs and with an understanding of how we wanted to live in the property. He was happily available to answer any questions and offer advice throughout the build, which for my husband and I as novice builders was often! We now have a very beautiful and eco efficient home, I cannot praise him enough.”
