We’re a father-daughter duo on a mission to make architectural advice feel less intimidating - and far more empowering.

Co-founded by Matthew Montague, a RIBA-certified architect with over 35 years of experience, and Maddy, a renovation-obsessed, business strategist, Space That Inspires was born from one simple belief:

Everyone deserves expert advice - not just those building mansions or hiring big firms.

Together, we lead a handpicked team of architects who genuinely care - people who explain things clearly, guide you without pressure, and help you make smart, informed decisions about your home.

Because for most homeowners, speaking to an architect feels overwhelming.

You’re told to “just find a builder” or “Google it,” but that leaves you confused, second-guessing, and scared to make a mistake that could cost you thousands.

And let’s be honest - traditional architecture can feel closed-off, expensive, and full of jargon.

So we flipped the script.
We’re here to create a softer entry point - one that gives you access to brilliant minds, without the pressure, without the hard sell, and without needing a finished brief or big budget.

We offer affordable, one-off online consultations with experienced architects — tailored to real homeowners.

Whether you’re:

• Buying a home and want to know what’s possible

• Wanting clarity your ideas work and are worth doing

• Considering an extension or reconfiguration but don’t know where to start

• In need of inspiration

...our service is designed to give you clarity, direction, and peace of mind - without committing to a full design package.

Simple. You book a call. We show up with answers.

Our consultations are:

• 100% online (no waiting weeks for a site visit)

• Led by RIBA-certified architects who speak like humans, not robots

• Designed to give you clear, honest advice no fluff, no upsell

After your call, you’ll receive:

• A personalised Next Steps Plan

• Our renovation budgeting spreadsheet

• A glossary of key terms and materials

• And a copy of your consultation so you can revisit it any time

It’s the smartest, calmest first step you can take before spending big money - and the one most homeowners tell us they wish they’d taken sooner.
