About

Aid Carrick is a true gentleman, on meeting Aid you will feel his warmth and enthusiasm for his career in Architecture.  My husband Richard & I first met Aid in 2013 when we acquired a property requiring extra space to create our family home in Cobham.  Aid works along side each of his projects to ensure that his passion for perfection is completed to a high standard.   Since meeting Aid my husband has struck up a friendship as well as working on various projects along side Aid for many clients, which includes the present project Black Studio in Long Ditton (which you can view on Aid’s profile).  As you can see Aid has that vision to create you’re dream space, as well as using some natural raw materials to their full potential.  Highly recommend

We cannot recommend Aid Carrick highly enough. From initial advice in choosing the most suitable property through to achieving planning permission against all odds within a Green Belt and Conservation area and then producing a design that not only maximised the use of internal and external space within our financial constraints but blended perfectly the new with the old in our 120 year old property. We are absolutely delighted with the result. Aid was always approachable, helpful and simply fun to work with.

This is the third and largest project that Aid Carrick has designed and project managed for us. Firstly, he helped us with renovations to a period Arts&Crafts house achieving contemporary solutions yet remaining faithful to the style of the building.  We are now working on an extension which is a gym/independent living space.  We appreciate his ability to understand and interpret our aesthetic and practical requirements and provide creative solutions that are sympathetic to the design of this new house.  He is in total control,  coordinating with builders and all other contractors, managing deadlines and keeping us current on budgets.  He is efficient, responding quickly and effective at dealing with queries and issues from all areas.  Aid is adaptable, collaborative and intuitive with his ideas, he shows enthusiasm and is always excited to take on a challenge to find the best solution. His skills and knowledge have enabled him to provide a complete service from initial brief to planning applications, landscaping and tree issues through the build and we continue to enjoy the process.  Aid keeps smiling and easing us along when decisions need making and is happy to keep exploring, always managing to come up with something innovative and paying attention to every little detail.  We thoroughly recommend Aid.

We approached Aid on the recommendation of a neighbour after we lost confidence in our original firm. We wish we had appointed him from the start. He came up with new ideas, was cost sensitive, very easy to work with and had a good relationship with our builder. We would not hesitate to use him again and are happy to recommend him

I have known and worked with Aid on several projects over many years, since his early days as the splendid architect he has continued to be. These projects have ranged from 2 exceptionally successful buildings for the school of which I was headmaster, to all the work on our early 20th century cottage in Surrey, culminating in this latest. He extended the end of our drawing room, and above it constructed a bathroom that ran from behind the chimney piece in the guest room. The design was visionary, with a pitched ceiling, and from outside the walls and roofscape have been improved. Aid always works closely with us and the builders, and is so quick to adapt a detail to work better as building progresses. I cannot recommend him too highly.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious but cosy space. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modern farmhouse kitchen, and I’m happy to say that Maison Kitchens and Bathrooms led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, our kitchen looks like it could be the envy of Pinterest. I expressed my wishes of having a light, airy feel with natural but polished finishes, and they truly delivered – the kitchen in my home is to die for. They also helped me turn my claustrophobic galley kitchen into a beautiful open-space plan that makes me actually want to cook and entertain in the kitchen. I couldn’t recommend Maison K&B more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!
