Architects in Balcatta, Western Australia

“Our awesome builder "Westview Builders" engaged "White on White Designs" (Chris White) for the architectural design of our future home. From the first time I spoke with Chris on the phone and even more so once sitting down discussing our dream home, he earnt our trust. Chris took down notes and asked questions that no other builder or designer has ever asked us. e.g. “Do you guys have any pets?” And we do, so the question was to cater and think about the house for owners but also their fur children. Chris has really good people skills, we could relate to him and were on the same wavelength throughout the whole process. He listened to what we were thinking of doing for our home and when we asked for his advice and opinion, he explained his point of view with pros and cons so we could make the best-informed decision. When Chris emailed the first preliminary design drawings to us, they were amazing!! There were photos (3D views) of what the different elevations would look like, and it was breathtaking and also a very good way to make us understand and see what the build is going to look like. Chris hit the nail on the head straight away on the design and it was what we had visualised. Chris is approachable, very knowledgeable, very passionate about his work, down to earth, and a lovely guy at heart. We hit speed bumps along the way with the bank and approvals and his understanding and very supportive emails meant a lot. Chris’ attention to detail and working drawings has made everything a breeze. We highly recommend "White on White Designs" and we are really excited to see our dream home come to life with a fantastic team doing it.”

“Michael Lyons is exceptionally creative Architect and designed a home for us that sits beautifully and appropriately into the surrounding landscape. We love the aged timber cladding that Michael suggested and feel that it is perfect for the coastal location. Not only has Michael designed a house that looks great it functions well for our family. We would highly recommend Lyons Architects.”

“A good architect designs beautiful houses, a great architect takes the time to truly understand what their client wants, what their lifestyle is and how they want to feel as they inhabit the next space they will call ‘home’. Suzi is a great architect. We were fortunate to come across Suzi in a magazine which featured some of her earlier work. Right from the start, when she traveled an hour from her office to meet with us in our home of the time, Suzi took care to build a solid relationship with us, and she really listened. That relationship is the foundation upon which our home was built. We trusted Suzi every step of the way through the design and build process and, having lived in our home for three years now we know that we were right to do so. Suzi met with the builder and us fortnightly during the build. It was clear that she had solid professional relationships with the builder, as well as the other suppliers, and those meetings were positive and enjoyable. Because of the type of project it was we did not have a set time schedule or price that Suzi was working to. Again, this meant that trust was paramount. Our home was finished in a timely manner and at substantially less than the quantity surveyor had estimated. We would recommend Suzi without hesitation to anyone wanting to build their next home. If you look through the images of our Bedfordale house you will see why. Our experience living here in recent years is exactly what we envisaged when we first spoke to Suzi.”
