“We bought a large Victorian house in Forest Gate which was a real project. We had previous experience of house renovation / remodelling but had always done DIY design. This time due to the size and complexity of the project we sought a designer using our network, speaking to local contacts and also via the Open House London event. made with volume were recommended to us so we visited their project The Science Lab and viewed other projects done before making our mind up.

Carlo’s approach to design and taste was very much to our liking. Employing someone on the design of your forever home is such an intimate process it’s important to get the person right for you (it’s a bit like therapy). Once we engaged Carlo, he was by our side from the start of the project right through to the final fit out.

I found him very easy to deal with, giving sound yet innovative good ideas and suggestions although always acknowledging the final say about design decisions is ours. What I found most useful is that we had a professional by our side when discussing points or requiring work from a builder where we were technically out of our depth.

If we ever do another housing project, I would definitely use Carlo for the design and ongoing support work. Would I recommend made with volume? Yes, without a doubt.”
