“"We have enjoyed working with RGA who have understood our wish to extend the property in a sympathetic fashion. Their excellent knowledge and design ideas have enabled us to do this and also achieve a modern aesthetic. Their experience working in local conditions, what works and what doesn't work on Shetland, are invaluable in helping positively guide our choices."”
“"The team at RGA really understand the brief and love the challenge of working sensitively with an old house at the heart of the project. They instinctively know what works well here when it comes to materials and design elements; they are also happy to share their abundant pragmatism around ideas that might not work so well. They understand the light, the land and the weather, and are expert in considering how to co-exist with these elements."”
“"At Lerwick Port Authority, we have engaged Richard Gibson Architects on various projects and are very happy with the design and delivery of these - For some of our projects in the historic town centre, sympathetic designs that incorporate all our modern requirements have been well executed. For practical buildings that are suited to our climate and maritime environment, we find Richard Gibson Architects have been able to incorporate some architectural flair for a result that can stand the test of time."”
“"Chosing a Shetland based architect for an Aberdeen extension was a little bit unusual but we had successfully used this practice before and were keen to use them again. We were extremely pleased that we did as their hands-on approach and eye for detail was excellent. We are very pleased with the service provided and the end product."”
