The Row Dental - Edinburgh

Dr Slaine Ker & Stuart Ker:-

Seeking to establish a modern, functional, and visually appealing practice, we embarked on a quest to find an architect capable of transforming our vision into a reality. After an extensive search, we discovered Christine, a consummate professional whose expertise surpassed all expectations.

From the initial meeting to the final unveiling of the practice, working with Christine was a seamless experience. Her understanding of implementing the unique requirements of a dental practice within the confines of a Grade A listed building was evident throughout.

Christine was actively engaged throughout the process, patiently listening to our various ideas, concerns, and objectives! Her attention to detail was also impressive. The utilisation of space was optimised, creating an inviting ambiance that integrated cutting-edge technology with patient comfort.

Throughout the project, communication remained transparent and efficient. Moreover, Christine exhibited a high level of problem-solving skills and patience when it came to navigating the various gauntlets laid down by Edinburgh City Council planning and building control department. 

Without a doubt, choosing Christine was a great decision. We are very grateful for her exceptional work and would recommend highly to others.

Christine has worked with my husband and I on two projects. We are delighted with the outcomes and can not fault the process. Christine is a joy to deal with. She is a clear communicator and led us through the design process in a manner that allowed us to get exactly what we wanted. Attention to detail and beautiful design ideas are what you get when you choose to work with Christine”.

We have been working with Christine for the refurbishment of our flat from the beginning up to the very end. 

She was initially instrumental in helping on the reshaping of our 3 bedrooms flat, which needed swaping the kitchen with one bedroom, a 90 degrees rotation of a bathroom to straighten the hallway and opening a load bearing wall in order to maximise the space and create an harmonious family place.

She designed and submitted the plans which were subsequently approved very switly. She covered all the security aspects and discussions with the different instances.

Christine then contributed in work discussions with the contractors, driving with kindness but firmly so all the tasks were delivered on time and with high level of standard.

She finally was there for the final certification of the work by the authorities and made sure the approval was obtained very smoothly. 

Finally, on the soft skills side, though being very detailed and thorough about plans and rules, she also showed remarkable communication and empathic skills which were invaluable and helped us go through a period that could have been much more stressful. 

We couldn't recommend more Christine (which we are already passing to our friends and neighbours)!”.

Jon Anderson:-

Working with Christine on our first architectural project was an absolute pleasure. From the outset, she was incredibly approachable, patiently addressing all our questions, no matter how basic. As newcomers to the world of architectural planning and structural work, Christine guided us seamlessly through the process.

One of the standout aspects of our collaboration was Christine's proactive approach. She not only recommended a skilled structural engineer but also took charge of all communication between us and the engineer, streamlining the entire process for us. Her ability to coordinate and manage these crucial aspects relieved us of a significant burden.

Throughout the project, Christine demonstrated a keen attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the regulations. She efficiently handled all communication with building control, ensuring that every step we took was in compliance with the current rules and regulations.

I highly recommend Christine for her professionalism, expertise, and the ease with which she navigated our project. It was clear that she not only possesses exceptional architectural skills but also values effective communication and client satisfaction. We are looking forward to working with Christine on our next project, confident in her ability to bring our ideas to life with her skills and expertise”.
