"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Shaun Prichard over a period of about 4 years. We were granted target capital formula which was used to rebuild and refurbish parts of our 50 year old school, an investment of about £8M. Architecturally we were impressed at the time with the designs and subsequently we have loved working in the environments he designed. The finished site comprises buildings from the 1960s to the present day with four phases in between. The final design ties these together and makes sense of what was previously a random collection of unrelated blocks. As end users we were fully involved in all parts of the process from design to commissioning and our views were always heard and acted upon – even when it involved a rethink. Shaun’s interpersonal skills enabled him to work effectively with students, staff and governors alike; from my own perspective I felt that I was in genuine partnership with Shaun. I commend Shaun and his work to you and would be happy to be contacted for further information or to show you around our wonderful buildings."

"We began working with James on Adamsdown School for our client Cardiff City Council and found him to be both highly professional and personable. He had a great willingness to go into detail and ensure all elements of the design and regulatory challenges were thoroughly examined and fully resolved. We then started to work with Shaun on new-build housing in Llanbradach for United Welsh Housing and were extremely happy with his friendly, can-do attitude and excellent design skills. I would say that we would be more than happy to work with James and Shaun in the future; but we already will be - on 14 new-build industrial units in Pant Industrial Estate and we look forward to working with them on future opportunities."

"We worked with Shaun on a contentious application for new dwellings in the countryside. In the face of an uncooperative local authority aided by a previous refused appeal proposal, Shaun developed a contemporary scheme which respected its countryside setting, the proximity of adjacent dwellings and access difficulties. The second Appeal Inspector saw favour with their approach which was cogently argued at the public hearing and planning permission was duly granted."

"Really enjoyed working with Shaun and James on the planning application for our commercial conversion. They were able to maximise value while maintaining the building integrity. As a team, they balance design flair and practical knowhow to perfection!"

"As acoustics consultants we have provided design support on a huge number of projects for an equally large number of clients, the majority of whom are architects. Shaun stands out from other clients in the fact that he is a real pleasure to work with, always in a positive frame of mind, constantly inspiring, whilst coming up with new ideas alongside an exceptional willingness to receive ideas. From working on a number of schools, offices and residential schemes, it is clear that Shaun keeps to the core skills of a good architect; he listens, he thinks, works well to time restraints and understands cost. What we like is the fact that we share a strong green agenda, which we have utilised on the projects we have worked on together. I wish Shaun all the best and look forward to working together in the future."

As a first time self builder I certainly needed Shaun and James's help and they were great. They helped me through all the procedures and acted as a go between with the builder. Now living in the house I am often told how people like the design and we were awarded a Best New Dwelling Building Excellence Award. It could not have worked out better and I enjoyed their company too!

"We have worked with Shaun on a number of projects over the last few years and always found him to be very efficient and organised in all his dealings with us. When he promises us information for a project, we know we’ll get it on time, it will be accurate, and if there are any queries he’ll answer them quickly. It’s the sort of professional attitude that makes our job easier and helps us to deliver our part of a project on time and to the highest quality. I look forward to working with Shaun again in the very near future."

"Having known Shaun for many years I have always found him to be extremely focused in delivering clients' requirements with a fabulous way in which he conducts himself in steering a client through the process of a complicated building programme. The way he approaches a challenge, the innovation he employs and the practical solutions he designs, epitomises teamwork with other professionals, this coupled with his desire to deliver excellent buildings means he is great to work with. All the clients he touches and fellow design team members he works alongside will always speak highly about their experiences with Shaun due to his fabulous service and more importantly him as a person."

"We have recently delivered two projects with Shaun, being Bristol Free School and Odd Down pavilion. It has been great to work with Shaun and his energy and passion have been key to the success of the practice. I remember the initial meeting with him on Bristol Free School and the design material he brought to the meeting was inspirational. I thought then that he deserved to succeed and do well - and the rest is history. Working with him has been most enjoyable and we would not hesitate in recommending him."

"We have worked closely with Shaun and his team both on the Claremont Hydrotherapy Pool project in Redland Bristol, and the winning design for the RSAW Redesigning the Welsh Terrace competition. We have been impressed by his energy, enthusiasm, and attention to detail. At Claremont School we have witnessed his complete commitment to delivering a high quality building for the school and pupils, whilst faced with a restricted site and a tight budget. His approach to project work is characterised by rigour, optimism, collaboration, whilst maintaining throughout a keen focus on delivering the client brief."

"The Cabot Learning Federation has worked with Shaun on the Kings Oak Academy Primary project. The design objective was to build a primary school with open foundation learning spaces that enables children to experience and use the environment as the third teacher and to allow high visibility of children’s experiential learning for parents and visitors rather than high visibility of corridor space. Shaun Prichard was a pleasure to work with; nothing was ever too much trouble. Shaun worked collaboratively with the project and client team listening, understanding and providing creative ideas to ensure key objectives were achieved. I would have no hesitation in recommending him."

"Having worked with Shaun on the Claremont School hydrotherapy pool project and the successful RSAW ‘redesigning the terrace’ competition, its apparent that he has passion for practical innovation in his work but also has a flair for attention to detail to understand the needs of his clients and demonstrate options in a clear fashion. He has an excellent approach at collaborative design with other disciplines and after working with Shaun it's clear he takes personal pride in his work and deserves all the success he achieves. He is a pleasure to work with and I hope we can work again soon."

"We first met Shaun on the Archway School project in Stroud back in 2004 and were delighted to work with an architect with great design skills and a clear desire to make sure the project was delivered to all party’s expectations. It is great to see Shaun taking on today’s challenges head-on – he definitely has the talent and vision to succeed."

"Mace has worked with Shaun on the Steiner Academy Bristol project, featuring a Grade II* Listed site due for full refurbishment and new build sections, including the provision of a new Sports hall facility. The project has required a ‘team approach’ throughout, dealing with delicate/bespoke client requirements and a creative and collaborative team effort to achieve a successful joint planning application. Shaun is a pleasure to work with and it is clear that client requirements are carefully considered and presented, to ensure the design phase progresses with all parties in unison."

"I am contacting you to congratulate you on the stunning school buildings at Lyde Green in South Gloucestershire. I have visited a couple of times as the local school Special Needs Adviser and have been given a tour. I was particularly interested in the part of the school that is going to be a resource base for children with autism. Autism is my specialism and there is an increasing demand from schools and parents to meet the needs of children with autism and to find support and information."
