Did you know
MarbleAir Architects proposed a strategy to regenerate one of iconic streets in Oxford – Blackwell’s Book Shop and Trinity College situated in Broad Street
With this in mind, would you want your architects to have experience in working with the Local Planning Committee (LPA), advice on CIL and any heritage-related matters? Of course, you would, and likely you would prefer them to have a sound knowledge of property investment in the area.
Your architect will have strong relationships with local mortgage and finance providers who can help to sort out your finances. Furthermore, their links with real estate and management agents will reassure you of the retail value of the property, as well as finding the new or next tenants, should you decide to rent out the property.
In addition, you will be able to turn to these professionals for their knowledge of high-quality bespoke building materials to suit your exacting needs.
Of course, a strong working relationship with local building companies is critical as these are the fine individuals who do the heavy lifting. Your architects will have a comprehensive list of reputable builders with whom they have experience of working and who can be relied upon for an excellent finish.
Understanding Our Clientele
Oxford has rightly captured the attention of home and business owners, international investors, and academics. Understandably, these individuals and businesses have busy schedules and high standards.
Your strong business acumen will lead you to architects who will offer sound advice on investments, not wasting your valuable time on services and products which do not deliver their purpose.
Furthermore, your need for distinctive results will require an architect who, for example, appreciates how to make the best use of natural light to enhance a space, who can articulate your vision in a functional structure with its own mood and feel, and who can find the perfect balance of scale and aesthetics.
Adding to the cosmopolitan nature of our company, we can assist our clients in English, French and Polish.
Interior Design in Oxford
Here at MarbleAir Architects, we appreciate that our clients require us to understand so much more than the external aesthetics of a building.
Indeed, our projects may be commercial buildings, heritage sites, homes, offices, or holiday apartments. This means that we need to not only consider the comfort and beauty within but be able to contribute meaningfully.
To this end, we proudly offer interior design services to our clients, successfully creating the most exquisite spaces to complement the architectural language. We have found that integrating functionality and stunning style under one umbrella creates a far superior result.
“Your space is not just about your location. Rather, it embodies what you need in order to find comfort; the rhythm and balance of a place which speaks to who you are.” Anna Dulnikowska-Przystalska

'When I decided to remodel my house, I knew I wanted something a bit different. Anna designed a great new layout, which turned my boring 70's house, into a fantastic modern, light and bright house, doubling the size of the bedrooms, and opening up the downstairs, producing an area which, as a family, we now use much better. The red cedar cladding on the extension looks amazing - I have had many complimentary comments on the design, from passers by. Anna kept careful records of all costs, and the project only just crept over budget, due to some unforeseen costs. I would recommend Anna to others, as she has a lot of good ideas. Anna also managed the project, which made things a lot easier for me.'
'We have a successful working relationship with MarbleAir; they're driven by design and detail and offer enthusiasm in all their activities. We refer our customers to them and look forward to many years of delivering more successful projects with them.'
'Our dealings with Anna from MarbleAir have been nothing less than a welcome change! Her approach is diligent, resourceful, professional and the ability to take on board new criteria which may not be apparent from the outset. We look forward to working with her on future projects.'
"We would be more than happy to tell you, that our experience working with Anna has been very rewarding and professional. Each step of the process was very clearly explained and easy to understand. We gave Anna a considerable challenge to come up with a plan to convert what is a very boring and dated bungalow into something modern and eye catching. She has more than met this challenge. Its nice to have this opportunity to thank Anna for her patience and understanding when we asked her to change a few things along the way to achieve the final plan."
"Throughout the building works her tenacity and attention to detail ensured the whole process ran to plan. Indeed, the extension was built on time and within the budget! I would have no hesitation in recommending Anna in any professional capacity."
“We love your designs. Thank you for taking into consideration all of our various ideas, absolutely brilliant! I hope the planners have good taste!”
