Featured Reviews for Brisbane Architects

Focus Architecture

Brisbane Architects

13January,2016

“I thoroughly recommend Evan and his team at Focus Architecture. Evan took the time to listen to our needs and delivered a product which reflected our budgetary and functional requirements. During the course of our project our vision changed a number of times. Evan responded with flexibility and patience and worked closely with us to achieve our outcomes. Evan provides a very personal service and he will take the time to listen to you and provide feedback and problem solving without being patronising. We are already planning for Evan to design our next project which will be our forever home in the Lockyer Valley.”

Atelier Chen Hung

Brisbane Architects

18June,2019

“The Little House For 30 years I had ideas of building a small, sustainable house for my retirement and had various architects sketch conceptional plans. Atelier Chung was able to take these early ideas and transform them by reincarnating them in contemporary form and then marrying them with the environment on my plot overlooking Kedron Brook in Brisbane. The result was beyond my expectations: high functionality, energy efficiency, sound but unobtrusive security and a very contemporary award-winning look in concrete, glass and timber. Its residents feel it to be spacious and open but its footprint - a mere 45 sqm.”

JMc Architects

Brisbane Architects

13September,2019

“Julianne McAlloon has done design work for us over the last 20 years. In that time she has designed 2 homes for us, a multi use commercial /residential building and a museum with offices, reception etc. Julianne has a flare for outstanding designs that are not like what most architects do. We have no hesitation in recommending her to other clients.”

“When Nina and I needed some ideas and plans for a large multi purpose farm shed Kelvin was recommended by a family member due to his thorough nature and attention to detail. His ideas were very logical and practical and we both were very satisfied with his care and understanding , we also found him very accessible via phone and email and his responses were timely and professional We would certainly use and or recommend Kelvin again.”

Architectural Nature

“I have been working with Jorge and Carlos for a little over 4 years and I would recommend them for any of your design needs. I deal with regular design challenges over a variety of different projects and Architectural Nature remains my first choice.”

Refresh have been very informative and there fee's are very fair. I am happy to recommend refresh on any style of project.”

Dion Seminara Architecture

Brisbane Architects

25May,2015

“After coming to the conclusion that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, we contacted Dion and others to discuss our options. All the other people offered to come to our house to provide a free quote and consultation. Dion was the only one that charged for this service. After initially baulking at the price, we reluctantly decided to proceed with his consultation fee. We were quite nervous in paying this amount because we did not know what value Dion would provide. Even on the day that Dion was to arrive, we still had doubts whether this was the right thing to do - but we decided to have an open mind. Dion not only arrived on time but he actually talked to us and wanted to get a feel for what we did in the different parts of the house. Yes his brief was that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, but within 20 minutes of Dion's consultation, he was challenging us on that notion. His challenging questions and realistic answers shed new light on what we thought we wanted. The easy path that Dion could have taken was to agree with what we wanted. If we went down that path, Dion would have been happy but after living with the outdoor entertainment area, we would not have been. Dion instead really listened to our needs and presented ideas that went to the heart of what we wanted. His ideas were fantastic and the consultation fee was, in our eyes, a small price compared to the value that he provided. If you have any doubts on the value of this fee for service, don't. You will be amazed on what he delivers. By the way, the other people who supplied the free quotes spent as little time as they could with us and did not provide any ideas on the solution that we actually wanted.”

Maytree Studios

Brisbane Architects

18June,2015

“We had Rebecca from May Tree Studios discuss our existing and rather boring home with a view to give it more street appeal without spending a fortune and to make some alterations to the interior. We were more than delighted with the concept drawings provided following our discussion. We have now completed the work and the home is transformed to unrecognisable (one visitor drove right past). Recently a regular passer-by commented that our home is now the best in the street - it was easily the least attractive in our street previously. Together with the concept drawings, Rebecca also provided details of colours that are modern and very attractive, yet blend well with existing original features. I did not think that would be possible. We are a building company so we see a lot of home designs. We considered that the proposal from Rebecca was practical and cost effective, as well as being highly professional. We highly recommend her to you.”

MBO Architects

Brisbane Architects

12August,2017

“Oliver had a very good understanding of the lifestyle we were attempting to achieve with our renovation and the budgetary constraints of the project. He listened carefully to our ideas and, importantly, also challenged us to consider alternatives. He had great respect for the integrity of our existing Queenslander (C. 1920s) and developed plans that paid tribute to the original character features of the home whilst incorporating new, contemporary spaces that seamlessly blend modern with old. He is a good communicator and made the design and construction process quite seamless. We are thrilled with the final outcome.”

Brindley Architects

Brisbane Architects

15June,2020

“Matt designed the most beautiful home for us in the Northern Beaches - we have been raising our family in this home now for over ten years - and we all love it. The space, light, design and function that Matt created in this home has had a massive positive impact on our wellbeing - it just feels lovely to be in. We all love hanging out here and having friends and family over to enjoy it too. He is a pleasure to work with - we'd be happy to show you our home or provide a verbal reference.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Brisbane also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Brisbane who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?

An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Brisbane, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Brisbane locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Brisbane architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Queensland subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
