Koru Architects - Brighton

Ciaran W.

Hi, we worked with Mark as contractors for our first certified Passive House, which was exciting and challenging in equal measure. Throughout the process Mark was extremely knowledgable and supportive, which allowed us to collaborate and solve issues quickly and efficiently, thus saving the client and us from extra complication and expense. I can highly recommend his services and would not hesitate to use him personally or work with him on future projects.

We are currently working with Mark at Koru to extend and refurbish a house in rural East Sussex.
Our aim is to retrofit the house to greatly reduce energy consumption and improve the thermal performance of the property while achieving an aesthetically attractive ,well designed home.

Mark is a pleasure to work with and has been able to bring some innovative and creative ideas to meetings as well as a high level of skill to managing our expectations.
We are looking forward to the next stage of the project.

We are currently engaging Mark Pellant KORU architect to design and build our retirement house.
The specifications are very demanding and we have changed design several times. We have to say that each time Mark has exceeded our expectations until we arrived at final design.
He is very knowledgeable about ECO passive house design. He is punctual, precise and very patient.
It is a pleasure working with Mark and we are confident that he will deliver our perfect dream house that will be our home.
KORU architect practice is highly recommended by both of us.

We would highly recommend Koru architects. We have used their services for a new build and currently have new plans drawn up recently by Mark for a new project.

Mark worked with us from the initial possibility of a plot right through the process and planning hurdles to an incredible new build . His knowledge and imaginative use of space delivered a well thought out, highly sustainable eco house with all our boxes ticked on our wish list. The space was incredible to live in yet still modest. Including it’s high eco spec some of the more individual elements on our wish list included a laundry chute, vaulted ceiling, dog bed nook, food larder, all in the design.

We have take on a new project and have enlisted mark as the architect again as we trust his design and knowledge to produce a design which will work for us and look good and suit it’s purpose.

We are delighted with our new passivhaus. Mark very quickly got what we wanted and produced a pleasing design that made the most of a tricky sloping site and sailed through planning approval and passivhaus certification. Mark is very committed to sustainability and now one year on were are enjoying high levels of comfort with low running costs in a home with a low carbon footprint.

Haworth McCall have worked with Mark and others in his team over the years on various projects and always found them to be thoughtful and pleasant to worth with. Koru's drawings are well presented which is a great relief for anyone who has to work from them as we do, or build from them.

I had the pleasure to work with Marl on a project and I have to admit that his professionalism stands out. In a world where we are all extremely busy, Mark never failed to respond promptly or be available anytime of the day. As a result the project run very smoothly and we achieved a great result working as a team. Highly recommended!

“We wanted to replace a decrepit conservatory on our rural property with a new one and an office. For the former we were aiming for something modern and ‘clean’ in its look, and well insulated despite an expanse of glass, but the office, as seen from the front of the house, was to blend in with existing brickwork and windows. We had come across Koru Architects at the Weald Wood Fair over a few years and were sympathetic to their approach to new build. Initially impressed by the clearly laid out costings of each of the various stages of the project, we then hired them – i.e. Mark – who laid out a number of design options taking into account our own aims and then adding his own ideas without being in the slightest overbearing. He built up a very good relationship with the builders, setting up regular meetings to review progress and to sort out, in every case successfully, any issues. The end result has been a great success. On this basis I cannot recommend Mark high enough!” Happy client of Colemans Hatch.
