Design and Creativity
The reviewers had mixed opinions about Lark's design skills. One reviewer, Nick, was disappointed with the company's lack of creativity and effort in designing unique extensions that blend well with the original house. He felt that they were only interested in simple box extensions and lacked the ability to think outside the box.
Customer Service
On the other hand, Rosie Haley had a very positive experience with Lark. She found them to be knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, and flexible. They were also punctual for meetings and produced good work.
Comparison to Other Developments
Nick was unimpressed with Lark's design approach, citing the Smithy Fold development in Kildwick as an example of lazy designing. He felt that the houses lacked imagination and had a negative visual impact on the area.
