  • Testimonial

    “Colten Care have engaged Williams Lester Architects to deliver designs and planning consents for several care homes within our portfolio. We have always found the team at WLA to be experienced, attentive and knowledgeable in the design of specialist care environments. Most recently, Williams Lester Architects worked with Colten Care to provide designs for the refurbishment and ambitious extension of one of our nursing homes in Salisbury. A challenging site, with significant level change, protected trees and in close proximity to a conservation area, Williams Lester’s design secured a first-time planning approval with positive support from the Local Authority Urban Design Officer. I would not hesitate to recommend James and the team at WLA.”

    “Williams Lester Architects have been working for Canford School since 2019, providing first rate architectural services on two of our major projects. Following their successful design competition entry, we have found the Williams Lester team to be friendly, professional, and pragmatic. They have embraced changes to the client brief and responded dynamically to the need for value engineering throughout the project. This has been balanced with the provision of high-quality design which responds to the specific context, feel and character of the school. The projects have been well resourced, with Director level involvement throughout. We look forward to working with them in the years to come.”
