Anisha Meyer
Development Director
Balfour Beatty Investments
"As a client I am very pleased with the level of services and support we have received from WR-AP architects. They have reacted quick to unforeseen challenges such as cost pressures, ensuring the impact on the programme of activities was minimised. Their knowledge of the design process and high quality service contributed to stablish a very collaborative and open communication among all parts involved.”
Andrew Atkins
Development Director
EWSW
“As Development Director of East Wick and Sweetwater I have worked with Max Rengifo for the last 2 years delivering Phase I of this residential-lead London’s Olympic Legacy project. Max -then Director of Astudio Architects- was actively involved from the inception of the project. He successfully lead the architectural team, working alongside the client body, to obtain full planning consent after a rigorous process with LLDC’s Quality Review Panel. His ability to provide a clear narrative to guide the design process; as well as his understanding of construction and value was a breath of fresh air for the client body”.
Anne Ogundiya
Principal Planning Development Manager
London Legacy Development Corporation
“I have worked with Max Rengifo on two significant LLDC projects (East Wick Residential Phase 1 and Park Pivot) in both of those projects, in my opinion, Max demonstrated an excellent ability to communicate ideas to different stakeholders, including Planning Officers, Design Advisors, QRP and Planning Committee. His dedicated attention to detail has also proven to be of the highest quality, making the design process enjoyable and collaborative”
Rob Warne
Senior Design Manager
Wates
“I really appreciated Max’s contribution and commitment as Lead Architect on our-council-led project in Luton. In circumstances where an extensive and diverse group of stakeholders often had conflicting needs, Max was never short of ideas and enthusiasm, which was instrumental in making the project a success. Highly recommended.”
