WHO WE ARE

ALEXANDRA HULL
Managing Director
Alex joined the family practise Back to Front Exterior Design in 2010, but remodelling and refurbishing houses was in the blood long before, having grown up on building sites and being influenced by her Mother and talented designer, Yolande Hesse.
Alex went on to run the busy practise for 5 years, overseeing the design process from concept, design and planning, through to technical and tender and gained a vast knowledge and experience in this particular niche of architectural design.
Inheriting the ability to visualise the potential in a house, Alex’s creativity and passion for renovation, provides a solid foundation to advise Clients on how to go about creating kerb appeal for their home.
OUR HISTORY

Over the years, Back to Front has been at the forefront of remodelling ugly houses in the UK, transforming them into beautiful homes.
Our story began back in 1999 with Alex’s parents, George and Yolande Hesse who ran a busy practise for nearly 20 years. Carrying on the torch for exterior design, Alex joined the company in 2010 and took over running the practice in 2014.
On Yolande’s retirement in 2018, we expanded the range of services to include exterior design consultancy. This enables us to serve Clients with projects at different stages. We are now able to help Clients with existing architectural plans needing extra input or about to start on site and looking for help selecting final materials and colour schemes as well as full scale extension, interior and exterior design and planning permission.
We have been featured throughout the years on television programs, newspapers, magazines and received awards for our designs.
