Patience Designs designed and managed from scratch the renovation of our 3 (now 5) bedroom house in London. The project took around 14 months in total, including 11 months of contractors on site. Sam was responsive and helpful throughout, managing things like planning, architecture, sourcing of the main and other contractors, purchasing of materials, advising on fittings and design, producing plans for specific elements ad hoc when required, and taking overall charge of the project. He would typically visit the site to check progress once or twice per week and remained in constant communication with the contractor(s) to ensure everything ran smoothly. The process was as stress free as it can be and we are very happy with the result - you would be lucky to find Patience Designs for your project.

I am very happy to recommend Patience Designs studio. Sam Patience has been excellent in project managing the refurbishment of my new flat. Very conscientious and imaginative he has been invaluable in ensuring that the flat has turned out so well. Very creative in solving problems and knowing the right craftsmen, carpenters, builders etc, he has made the whole process remarkably smooth. It has been a pleasure to work with Sam and with Nikki.

I’ve been working with Sam for almost a year, and the experience has been exceptional. He is incredibly responsive and consistently brings thoughtful, creative ideas that have elevated the design far beyond what I originally imagined. Beyond the design work, his project management has been invaluable - he communicates directly with contractors, keeps the schedule on track, and navigates all the moving parts with impressive professionalism. He also handled the process of securing planning permissions, which isn’t easy given that we are in a conservation area, and this certainly removed a huge amount of stress from my side. What truly sets him apart is his willingness to go the extra mile. He proactively helped source vendors and provide support for rooms that weren’t even part of the initial remit, simply because he wanted the whole home to come together beautifully. His dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for the project have made this a seamless and enjoyable experience. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Last year, we renovated our home, and I reached out to Sam Patience based on a friend’s recommendation. And I'm so glad I did! Sam did an excellent job, from designing the project, to organizing the spaces, managing the bidding process to find a reliable contractor, and overseeing the supply of materials. Sam is extremely attentive and had a real talent for understanding my family’s taste, offering solutions that perfectly matched our wishes. I truly appreciated his eye for details and the thoughtful touches he added, which made the rooms much more interesting. The lighting choices, for example, really gave everything an extra flair! Sam and Nikki were also very quick to respond to our questions and consistently demonstrated professionalism and reliability. Working with them has been an absolute pleasure!

We recently worked with Sam to project manage the refurbishment of our apartment and we honestly couldn’t have done it without him! From start to finish Sam was absolutely fantastic - reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. He’s super thoughtful and creative with a sharp eye for design that brought our ideas to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Sam was well organized and his communication was amazing – he always responded super fast, keeping us informed every step of the way. Whenever we encountered issues (as you inevitably do with any renovation) he was brilliant at coming up with effective solutions that took a lot of the pressure off us. One of the highlights of working with Sam was his use of virtual reality designs. Being able to visualise the space before making decisions was a total game changer and it made the entire process so much smoother. Sam is also just such a pleasure to talk with – easy going yet professional. He made the whole experience enjoyable and less stressful - we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Sam for helping us create a home we absolutely love!

Today is your lucky day, as you’ve just found Sam! Having just finished a project with him, I can honestly say you won’t find a better project manager and overall designer for your project than him.

His service even included interior design and furniture purchasing which was extremely helpful. Really nothing seems to be out of scope with Sam, and it really has been an absolute pleasure working with him.
