Testimonial

But don't just take our word for it! Here's what one of our satisfied clients has to say about their experience with Philip Leeson Architects:

"We would recommend PLA to anyone looking to build a quality house. Beyond the form and function, we're regularly inspired by unique details of the house. The view from a window, the interplay between indoor and outdoor, a piece of craftsmanship - it all points to a cohesive, artistic vision, in dialogue with the environment and our needs as a family." - James & Dharshi
