Highly recommend, unless you enjoy walls that aren’t straight.
Working with Soreen Billbas during my Part 2 architectural journey was one of the most influential experiences of my development. As both an architect and mentor, Soreen brought a rare combination of efficiency, clarity, and creative passion that left a lasting impression on me.<br><br>What inspired me most was his deep understanding of concept and design. He approached architecture with clarity and purpose, and every project he touched seemed to carry a strong narrative. His ability to articulate ideas in a way that felt intuitive and accessible made it easy for me to connect with the work. It wasn’t just about drawings or details – it was about vision, meaning, and story. That way of thinking helped shape the way I see architecture today.<br><br>Soreen’s mentorship came through not only in his guidance but in how he worked – with calm precision, thoughtful reasoning, and genuine passion. He led by example, and through him, I learned the value of staying rooted in concept while delivering with efficiency and care.<br><br>I'm truly grateful for the time I had learning from him. His influence continues to shape my approach to design, and I consider myself fortunate to have been mentored by someone who embodies both creativity and clarity so powerfully.
The team at BARCX creatively solved many of our design and local authority challenges that previous architects couldn’t overcome. Incredibly knowledgeable and kind-hearted! They truly deliver real value and they are our go to from now on!
I shot this project a month ago and the work was top quality. Soreen was a pleasure to work with and answered any questions I had about the job.<br>I Would highly recommend his company for any project that you need in the future.<br>Many thanks, Ben
