A little about the director
Andrea Van Tromp is a registered architect in the UK. She is originally from America where she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Architecture in 2008 and continued her education to obtain a Doctorate in Architecture in 2010. She’s resided in the UK for her entire professional career and is a registered Architect with the UK Architects Registration Board (ARB) and a chartered member of RIBA. Prior to setting up her own business, she was the Associate Director at a reputable architecture practice in the UK where she worked for nearly 8 years.
Since starting her business in 2018, she’s been able to build a profitable business providing private clients with a full turn-key package at a competitive rate by reducing overheads. The majority of her work is based on recommendations from former clients and local contractors. She has a comprehensive knowledge of planning law and the Building Regulations and is known for providing detailed and concise drawings which she takes pride in. As a business, she only aims to have 5-6 projects a year which enables her to be more responsive, efficient and dedicated to your project when compared to other architecture practices.
What Clients Are Saying
“This is the second project we have worked on with Andrea and she is always very personable and professional. Most importantly though, she understood our vision and has very thorough knowledge of building regs and the planning process. Andrea's efficiency with revisions and her communication throughout the design development and build made our project run smoothly and on schedule. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrea and hope to work with her again in the future.”

“Andrea was the perfect combination of professional and personable when she was designing our two storey rear extension. Andrea took into account our budget desires and needs in her design, and used her creativity to provide us with a beautifully designed two storey extension with striking features. When tweaks to the design during construction, Andrea was prompt and clear in her updated designs. It was a pleasure working with Andrea, and she guided us skillfully and smoothly through the design and planning stages of our project. We achieved much more in this project due to Andrea's creative design”

“Andrea was recommended to me by a friend who demands the highest standards of himself and others. In person, she exuded charm and a positive ‘can do’ attitude. Her process and costings were transparent, accurate and as such, managed my expectations. Every 3rd party contractor we employed at her recommendation, was equally professional, diligent and straightforward. The goal was achieved within budget and I felt as though the entire management of a complex challenge, was in her capable hands. I would happily recommend AVT Design Studios’ services to others and I would confidently employ them in the future!”
