Stefanie Thompson
International Event Rider & Accredited Equestrian Coach
“10* Rating for Peter Milburn Brown of Workshop Design Studio Ltd for his patience, perseverance & tenacity in gaining planning permission for our all sports, astroturf tennis court. Peter’s designs were excellent meaning Platts & Co contractors & construction could easily & impressively meet the task. Sits tastefully as an extension to our garden & looks as if it has been there forever. Providing endless hours of healthy sport from tots to adults alike.
The second phase of project Peter Milburn Brown was an indoor cricket facility. Lovingly created in the property’s disused Dairy Parlour…I have to confess I was initially sceptical because of the sheer scope of the split levelled concrete. Again the project was met with consummate ease by Ashbrook Construction due to Peter’s detailed drawings & plan of works. Again the facility looks as if it has been situated for years, maintaining the history & lovely architecture of the traditional wooden beams. Hours & hours of fun had by all already, a magnificent all weather facility for Cheshire’s finest U12 Cricketers as well as anyone who fancies having a go with the Bola Cricket Machine. A heartfelt thanks a million from our family to you Peter.” -

“Our experience with Peter at Workshop Design Studio surpassed all our expectations. An absolute professional, very knowledgeable with impeccable taste and the highest standard of service.
We wanted an extension that complimented our existing structure, but knew that we didn't want a standard "box on the back" type situation. The style and origin of our house design was thoroughly researched, so the plan was to be sympathetic to the original structure while also adding a modern twist.
We have ended up with a beautiful open plan extension that fits our requirements perfectly. Through working closely with us, our builders and the structural engineer regularly, Workshop design studio delivered a beautiful, modern and functional multi-purpose space in our home that is eye-catching both inside and out. We are incredibly pleased with this place we get to call our home.” -

“Workshop Design Studio delivered the agency design of our dreams. From the very beginning, Peter understood our concept and vision to create an exciting, premium destination for our team, talent and clients.
We wanted a space that was both dynamic and fresh but with a calming, spacious feel. Peter listened to our concerns, as much as our vision, and took the time to get to know the day-to-day flow of our company culture which has really added to the internal flow in the space now.
We felt we could fully trust Peter's eye for quality and know no shortcuts or half measures would be taken - especially in ensuring this was a space equally beautiful for our staff as much as guests. We're beyond happy with the results and every day we're complimented on the space and feel created, which is a brilliant feeling.”

“Peter produced drawings and helped us through the planning process for a side and front extension on our property. His designs fit with our brief perfectly and whenever there was a problem he came up with a creative solution that we would never have thought of ourselves. His knowledge and expertise gave us great confidence and his attention to detail and flair for design has produced a layout that is modern, functional and very aesthetically pleasing, whilst still being in keeping with the age of the property. Thanks so much Peter, I just hope the builder can make finished product live up to the plan!”

“Thank you Peter for all your hard work. The plans you produced matched perfectly with what we wanted. The plans for the extension and repositioning of walls/ rooms in the existing house made the whole space work so well. You had such great attention to detail and were on hand through the whole process to advise us and talk through aspects with the builder. We can’t thank you enough, and the whole family love the new layout and space.”

Peter Milburn-Brown at Workshop Design Studio has created my family a home that is simply beautiful. His design is more than we ever realised we needed, wanted or could have achieved.
It was really important for us to maintain the historical feel of our 1930’s home, bringing some rooms back to their original intention while creating new and functional rooms to meet the needs of our family. The design that Peter created did all of this while avoiding the “Big white box” approach of many renovations. His design translated our needs into a blueprint of materials, lighting, colours and textures that were simple to understand and created a home that is perfect for our needs. He flipped rooms entirely; in ways we would have never considered and gave us the bravery to bring beautiful colours that compliment the style of the house. When we sent out Pete’s designs to QSs, Builders and other trades they were incredibly impressed by the level of detail and clarity put into the drawings, which made the quotation process seamless.
During the renovation, Pete’s unwavering support gave us so much confidence, he was a constant in our lives throughout, and was a calming presence when the demands of the renovation were difficult. Pete was generous with his time, he helped us to stay strong when tradesmen wanted to dilute the design but was also flexible when our needs developed during the build.
Now that it is complete, our house is stunning. Our living areas are cosy and comfortable, our kitchen is fit for a chef and dining area looks like a restaurant. The thought put into how light moves around the space, how each space is used, and even the tiniest details of fittings has given us a house that wouldn’t be out of place in a design magazine. Our friends and family all have a favourite part of our home, and we couldn’t be happier to share Pete’s details with them. We can’t speak more highly of the work and the support that Peter provided, and we are happy to accommodate if anyone considering working with Peter, want to visit our home to see what can be achieved when you work with Workshop Design Studio. -
