Alessio helped us with a planning application for Listed Building approval that we needed for an internal stair lift. He responded to our initial enquiry very promptly, met with us and gave advice about the process and the timescales. He was very friendly and explained everything to us.
He submitted the application to the local authority almost immediately after our initial consultation, tracked the progress, responded to queries raised by the planning officers and produced an additional drawing when requested by them. He kept us informed throughout and got the planning application through seamlessly.
We would thoroughly recommend Alessio for his high level of professionalism, responsiveness and overall experience and knowledge of the planning process. A really excellent job.
Very happy with our experience working with Halecyon, in particular Alessio who was very helpful and whose work we were very happy with. He was able to really maximise on the space of our very small house and we couldn't be more pleased with the plans. Whenever we needed to ask anything he was always available, polite and willing to advise in a timely manner. Would recommend their services to anyone and everyone.

Many many thanks for your kind words Elektra.
Alessio supported us through our acquisition and planning process with huge care and professionalism.
He managed to unlock a layout that made sense for our needs, despite the constraints of the original structure, and was key in helping us secure planning permission.
Throughout, he was patient, responsive, and genuinely personable — always taking a one-to-one approach that made us feel in very good hands. We have been incredibly lucky to find an architect like Alessio and his team and work together on our first property. Couldn’t recommend enough!
I've had the pleasure of working with Alessio on several residential projects as a structural engineer. His architectural approach is both creative and practical, and he consistently balances design ambition with buildability. Communication throughout the projects was always clear and efficient, which made coordination smooth across disciplines. Alessio is a detail-oriented architect who genuinely cares about the end result and the client’s needs. I look forward to collaborating on more projects in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking thoughtful and well-executed design.

We met Alessio after a negative experience with another architect. Alessio was available helpful, responsive, and efficient. He truly listened to our needs while providing informed guidance, and helped us successfully navigate the planning application process in a strict conservation area.
“We are incredibly grateful to Halecyon Architecture & Design for their exceptional help with our application to Barnet. Their patience and dedication throughout the process were truly impressive, ensuring that every detail was carefully considered and addressed. Their expertise, attention to detail, and clear communication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The team was always available to address any concerns and worked tirelessly to meet both our expectations and the necessary requirements. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a reliable and committed architectural design firm!”
It was my first project, was very apprehensive. Alessio, from Halecyon, was may be 3rd or the 4th I contacted and found him to be the most easy, helpful and responsive. We agreed to meet on site, on the same day, whilst others wanted to fill a book with mish mash of details before even contemplating a site visit. He produced drawings, submitted the application in no time, tracked the progress, responded to queries raised by officer dealing with the application and produced the desired outcome. This was completely painless and a joyful journey. Thanks buddy
We got in touch with Alessio to help with plans for a small extension at back of our house. He was knowledgable, offered great communication and gave us some excellent design advice on the how to get the most out of the project. Alessio was on top of the planning application, staying in touch with the council and chasing them up to make sure we got our decision. Overall we are pleased with the service and glad to have worked with him.
