Von der Idee zu genehmigten Bauplaenen - eine Herausforderung, wenn man eine vom Bauhaus-Style geprägte moderne Architektur mit den besonderen Bedingungen unseres Grundstücks umsetzen will. Unsere Wahl viel auf BESPOKE. John und sein professionelles Team gelang es Flächenoptimierung und großzügige offene Raumplanung voller Licht und Transparenz gepaart mit einer individuellen, sehr modernen Formensprache und exklusiven Ausstattung "unter einen Hut (Dach)" zu bringen. Chapeau! Wir freuen uns auf das Ergebnis in 2019 und die sehr persönliche Zusammenarbeit auf dem Weg dahin.
Many thanks to John and the Bespoke team – you guys have been so easy to work with - immediately capturing the essence of what we wanted in our house design, providing a great end to end service that we could trust and real value for money. We are delighted with the design and can’t wait to see it become a reality this year.
I worked with Bespoke with the renovation and extension of my property in Vale do Milho. I was extremely happy with the project during all stages and found the team very professional, friendly and informative. I would not hesitate to recommend Bespoke as a company.

We have worked with Bespoke John and his team and would recommend them to anyone wanting an architect to design their project.
Nevertheless the first project had to be put on hold because of reasons beyond their control, they started working on another project with full enthusiasm and a wonderful result! They were also very responsive to input we gave them.
The team at Bespoke Architects is very professional and reliable!
Already at our first meeting with John and our builder, he caught what character we wanted at our dream house project in Lagos. We only needed to make some minor adjustments, which John and his team quickly changed, then we were done. The entire construction permit process, which was done in two steps, went smoothly and in record time. This was probably John's merit. John and his team is very professional and have done a very good job so far. I am convinced that they will follow the construction process very committed when we now begin to build. A very professional company which we would have no hesitation in recommending to others.
After 15 years owning a holiday home we started to plan for a permanent residency in Algarve. Then we had two options, either we find a plot to build a completely new house, or we find an architect that can transform our holiday home to the specs we were after. After some research we found John Wilson and his team on recommendations, and from the first sketch they provided we received we felt convinced investing in a complete makeover. They really understood what we wanted, and it contains a complete renovation and new construction. Throughout the process John and his team have been super supportive and we highly recommend Bespoke for anyone who wants to build new or transform an old house to something completely new.
After talking with more architects we came in contact with John from Bespoke Architects. From the moment we discussed our plans, the feeling with this company and John as a person, felt right. He has the ability of listening very well to the client and after this process he comes with useful additional ideas. During the project Bespoke had close contacts with the builders and they made sure communication between all parties ran smoothly. We would absolutely use John and his team again when starting another project in the Algarve!
