Koru Architects

We have worked with Mark Pellant of Koru Architects on a number of projects over the years including his own Eco house in Hove which has won numerous awards. Mark is very knowledgeable on Eco & Sustainable design and we would not hesitate to recommend Koru Architects to our customers.

Koru Architects have been a 'breath of fresh air’ in helping me develop my concept and taking this through to design. Mark has been great to deal with, always happy to listen and take on board my views, in a timely fashion. He has shown the patience of a saint, whilst always finding new ideas to cope with my changing views.

I would confirm that I have worked with Mark Pellant of Koru Architects on a number of high profile commissions with Mark acting as the project architect over many years. I have always found him a pleasure to work with a very professional and diligent approach to the design process. This includes being able to take on board the needs and requirements of clients within the architectural process. I would highly recommend him as a valued member of the development team.

Working with Mark over a period of 3.5 years from our initial meeting through to finally getting a go ahead was a painless experience always there to provide advice. This was more than we could say for our local planners who proved to be a challenge at every turn, especially with a site in an AONB, in the green belt and part of the High Weald. The day was finally won through, use of the permitted development arrangements. A key factor in this, was the efficient and innovative roof profile, large in area but small enough in volume. This allowed us to satisfy all the necessary criteria. This curving profile had been one of Marks earliest concepts which he had presented to us and which had been particularly appealing, being a different approach from the conventional pitched roof arrangements. It was this ultimately significant arrangement that allowed the successful pursuit of gaining permission from our local planning authority, against what at times seemed like insurmountable objections from the planners.
