Client testimonials
We love working with our clients, here are some things they have said about us and our work.
Matt Taylor, Tracksmith CEO & client
“Andy Matthews Studio were an invaluable partner for our global retail expansion. Their expertise, attention to craft and detail, and collaboration with other stakeholders in the process were all critical. Yet what our team appreciated most was their commitment to the full vision of the Trackhouse from the consumer's experience. Andy worked one of our marathon pop-ups in New York City - no easy task - to understand the requirements of our space during specific moments for the brand. We couldn't be happier with our new home on Chiltern Street.”
Aidan Thomson, client
“Where to start... collaborative, creative, inspiring and, most importantly, really f**king good at their jobs. It's been a pleasure working with Andy and the wider team. As a first-timer in bricks & mortar retail, they've held my hand when required, challenged me when they see fit, and been wholly understanding of our budget levels. It's cliche, but the minute a studio feels part of your team is the minute you know things are going well.”
Orlando Whitfield, client
Andy and his team have been helping me with a house restoration and extension in south east London. His knowledge, patience and enthusiasm are unmatched. Couldn't recommend more highly!
Karen Klomp, client and chairwoman
“SMCC is a large, thriving, volunteer-run cricket club with over 550 members. This includes a growing junior section with more than 330 boys and girls, and with almost 50 women we have one of the larger women’s sections in the country. Having been built in a different era for a membership which back then consisted of only senior men, the current pavilion has long ceased to meet the club’s needs, let alone our future requirements. We are therefore very grateful to Andy Matthews Studio for designing our new pavilion. It was a highly collaborative process, where the studio accommodated not only to the requirements from our governing bodies, but also really listened to what a diverse and growing club like ours needs.
With this new building, we can realise our ambitions to provide the appropriate facilities for our women’s and girls’ sections, as well as allow us to start disability cricket – a long standing wish. It will also provide an amazing space in a special location that we will share with local organisations, firmly cementing our place in the community.
With the club’s history going back centuries, the new pavilion will secure the future of the club for the next generations.”
Private client
“The design is perfect. As soon as I moved in, it felt right. When I found it, the space was unloved and badly planned – I needed a partner to work with who could see past the existing interior and help realise the vision for a simple, well-designed home within this beautiful old city warehouse. We transformed every single surface, and the result feels like an elegant, peaceful space with a high-quality finish.”
Kuros Sarshar, client
“Andy and his team have a good understanding of what it takes to deliver projects to a budget and their methods and approach have been proven rigorous and well conceived. As individuals, we’ve found them fun, easy to work with and responsive, and it is clear they care deeply about making their clients happy and creating beautiful buildings.
For our new-build pavilion project, the club had several failed attempts to redevelop the site over a decade on what has proved to be a challenging site. AMS’s proposals hit the mark first time with all of the key stakeholders delighted with the outcome and happy to support the project financially.”
Tony Goldsby, trustee, Trinity Winchester
“On behalf of the Trustees at the Trinity Centre for Homelessness, we have been so pleased with Andy Matthews and his colleague’s creativity, flexibility, and responsiveness to our needs and budget. Andy developed elegant plans for our building renovations. The scheme is sensitive to our clients and enhances functionality in a tightly constrained space. We were struck by his ability to focus on the key issues for our client base of homeless and vulnerable women, making the most of the design with a limited budget.”
“Andy worked collaboratively with our staff, and buildings and is adept at working with planners that we didn’t need outside advice. His design studio is friendly, competent, and efficient and has integrated requests as smoothly as possible. “
Mark Brewer, client
“When working on The Velo Barn refurbishment, we couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Andy Matthews Studio. Andy and his team worked closely with us on the new layout of our café and garden area. Their advice was invaluable, and we were able to promote the business well before the completion of the project due to the fantastic artist impressions they supplied. The outcome has been a vastly improved customer experience and enhanced delivery capability from the team due to the new kitchen layout. Year-on-year to date, we have doubled our turnover thanks to the changes that we’ve made.”
