SMA STUDIO BARNET LTD

We have been working with Fadi from SMA Studio Barnet for a number of years across multiple sites, and our experience has consistently been excellent.

Fadi has successfully secured planning permission for a range of projects including new builds, extensions, and conversions. His in-depth knowledge of the planning process, local authority requirements, and development strategy has been invaluable to the success of our projects.

He approaches every scheme with professionalism, clarity, and strong attention to detail.

Architecture projects

I worked with Fadi and SMA Studio on our HMO conversion in Greenford, and we couldn’t be happier with the service they provided.

They led the project from start to finish, delivering detailed and professional technical drawings that met all requirements. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond in preparing the interior design, offering thoughtful ideas and practical solutions that truly enhanced the final result.

Fadi and his team were responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. We would highly recommend SMA Studio and Fadi’s team to anyone

Delivered Practical Solutions and provided a thorough service from start to finish. 10/10!

We worked with SMA Studio to secure planning permission for our new-build home in Ealing and had a great experience. 

Fadi was knowledgeable, proactive, and confident in dealing with the council, challenging them where necessary to achieve the best outcome. He also went above and beyond by preparing additional reports to support our application.

Very happy with the service and would highly recommend. 11/10!

Planning permission secured!

Excellent experience with the team. They delivered a brilliant design and managed to secure planning permission against a very tight deadline. Professional, efficient, and highly recommended for anyone facing a challenging timescale.

Professional design and fast results

We can’t recommend Fadi at SMA Studio Barnet highly enough! He is an outstanding architect who guided us through our Uxbridge new build with total professionalism and genuine care. From start to finish, Fadi made the entire process feel smooth, clear, and completely stress free. His attention to detail, creative thinking, and calm, reassuring approach were exceptional. We’re absolutely delighted with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. Truly excellent.

Absolutely fantastic architect

We had our house redesigned to add a side and back extension and loft conversion. I had full transparency and honesty from SMA throughout the process. Fadi took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made sure we were on the same page which I really appreciated. He has a really great attention to detail and the final design exceeded expectations. Incredible service and communication throughout, overall very smooth and easy process. Reasonably priced and accommodated for my changes without additional fees. Also pleased to have received planning permission first time round!

Excellent service end to end. Highly recommend
