Oh I see your point. We went for a newly established, local architect who I stumbled upon on instagram funnily enough. From the looks of if he and I have very similar tastes and design principles. This is the project that really made us consider him - http://lewisbailie.com/#/guinness-drive/
He's done us a very good price which will hopefully take us to the submission of a building control application stage. It's unspoken but we're putting our faith in him as he's young and relatively inexperienced, and he's giving us a good price because we're stretching our meagre budget.
@SteadyCam my point around budget was that I assume you’re paying the architect for each round of drawings - initial concepts, technical plans, final planning submission etc I think there’s like a 3-5step RIBA guide. You wanna avoid getting 10k deep on that before realising hardly any of its possible. Don’t wanna teach you to suck eggs but my experience was I really had to hammer budget home and still came in over and having to reimagine stuff
