"We have enjoyed working with RGA who have understood our wish to extend the property in a sympathetic fashion. Their excellent knowledge and design ideas have enabled us to do this and also achieve a modern aesthetic. Their experience working in local conditions, what works and what doesn't work on Shetland, are invaluable in helping positively guide our choices."

"The team at RGA really understand the brief and love the challenge of working sensitively with an old house at the heart of the project. They instinctively know what works well here when it comes to materials and design elements; they are also happy to share their abundant pragmatism around ideas that might not work so well. They understand the light, the land and the weather, and are expert in considering how to co-exist with these elements." :: This relates to a current project to extend and alter an old Shetland house on a challenging site. Details have yet to be added to the website.

"At Lerwick Port Authority, we have engaged Richard Gibson Architects on various projects and are very happy with the design and delivery of these - For some of our projects in the historic town centre, sympathetic designs that incorporate all our modern requirements have been well executed. For practical buildings that are suited to our climate and maritime environment, we find Richard Gibson Architects have been able to incorporate some architectural flair for a result that can stand the test of time."

"Chosing a Shetland based architect for an Aberdeen extension was a little bit unusual but we had successfully used this practice before and were keen to use them again. We were extremely pleased that we did as their hands-on approach and eye for detail was excellent. We are very pleased with the service provided and the end product."

"Richard Gibson Architects have designed houses for the Association for more than 35 years. In that time they have provided a varied range of housing schemes which have been designed to fit into their surroundings and enhance the local environment. They have worked on some of the Association’s most prominent and successful developments, being nominated and winning a number of design awards for their work. They continue to bring new ideas, technologies and design principles to each project. We have enjoyed working with them in the past and look forward to many more successful future projects."

"Sandness Hall Committee were delighted to award Richard Gibson Architects a contract to design a Hall refurbishment the committee and community were desperate to achieve to prolong the life of a building that was quickly becoming decrepit and dilapidated.
They managed to design a fantastically functional and user friendly space using the original footprint of the Hall, this was something the committee did not think was either feasible or possible.
RGA worked closely with the committee, main contractor and sub contractors to overcome issues that an ageing building uncovers, they controlled all the costing involved to deliver an on time and on budget project. This proved to be further rewarding considering the extra work that became increasingly obvious due to the condition of the building.
This is a fantastic example of a local company both benefiting their community and delivering a first class service."

"The practice was very positive right from the outset of our project even though it involved a problematic listed building. They captured our imagination for our major refurbishment project, and were professional and enthusiastic from start to completion. A first class friendly service that we would highly recommend to anyone."

"When considering our extension and garage build, we appreciated the fresh angle that Richard Gibson Architects took to our initial concept and design brief. The architect listened carefully to what we had to say and work collaboratively from start to finish. Interesting features in the internal layout have proved real talking points and have proved to be a great use of space and light, adding so much to our home."
