“We are currently working with Peter on our renovation and DA, I find Pete refreshingly professional, open minded and very easy to deal with. He doesnt get stressed which is vital as the build and DA process is very stressful for the home owner. All in all, great working with you Pete”
six b design
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 March 2014
“I think what makes Jaime Brennan such a great architect is that he truly listens. He has delivered what we asked for, actually our home is more beautiful than we imagined. He knows his stuff so we got through Council quickly, which isn't typical of a strawbale development application in the Blue Mountains. The home that we have built together is beautiful, practical and comfortable. Jaime has project managed for us and we have stayed within budget. There has been a lot to handle and throughout the build Jaime has been a great communicator. He has often suggested alternatives that made our home more comfortable, practical, environmentally appropriate or more economical to build and we are so grateful for that. Jaime also helped us select a great builder. We couldn't be happier with our experience and we are really excited to move in to our home in a few weeks time.”
Architelle Architecture & Interior Design
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 March 2016
“We engaged Margaret Skilbeck to help us with a major renovation and extension of our family home in Warrawee. Architelle was recommended by a local builder who gave us the names of a few architects that work in the Area. He told me Margeret Skilbeck was conversant with Kuringai council regulations and her turnaround time in submitting work was also good. We were very happy with the design and final result. One of the best things we did was engage Margeret to supervise the building project which included weekly site meetings. it took away a lot of the stress involved in building work. She gave us very good advise along the way and helped in choosing materials and fittings. She was professional, capable, efficient and very pleasant and we have no hesitation in recommending Her. She was able to work well with the builders & coordinate the other professionals. Her fees were reasonable and good value.”
Vanessa Wegner Architect
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 April 2017
“Vanessa is amazing! So much so that I've given her the nickname "Sydney's Best", abbreviated from "Sydney's Best Architect". We have undertaken 2 renovations and Vanessa was the architect on both occasions. In fact, we delayed our 2nd renovation to coincide with her return to Australia so she could be on-site for the job. Vanessa has a relaxed and friendly manner that belies her expertise and talent. Whilst her ideas and recommendations are outstanding, Vanessa's great strength is her ability to listen to and understand what we were hoping to achieve and then to make it happen. Twelve months on from completion and we continue to be blown away with how happy we are with Vanessa's design. We love the home that Vanessa has designed for us and truly couldn't be happier. The wonderful thing is that it isn't just a home for adults or a home for kids. Vanessa has designed a home that is to be lived in and everyone living in the house loves it. The design takes in so many considerations - it's a home for entertaining and a home for living; it accommodates people having their own spaces but also areas for people to interact; the space is utilised extremely well with the roof and under deck areas utilised to create maximum storage and an additional room. The design is very clever. Additionally, Vanessa has a great approach to working with the builder and sub-contractors and whilst you often hear about builder / architect difficulties Vanessa's approach and way of working with people ensures a happy and positive outcome for all parties. We are now looking at developing some apartments and wouldn't think of using anyone else. In fact, we can't wait to work with Vanessa again. Great person. Wonderful architect.”
Justin Loe Architects
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 April 2013
“I had a great experience with Bayview design group. Justin Loe took the time to understand how we would use the property and designed a house that is both functional and beautiful. Justin added value at every stage of the process and I couldn't be happier with the end result.”
Costi Architects
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 December 2021
“Costi Architects offers top notch service, honest opinions and is easy to work with. Due to this and the expertly drawn architectural plans our project ran smoothly. Would recommend!”
Jodie Dang ARCHITECTS
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 April 2019
“Working with Ms Dang is a pleasant and fulfilling experience. No problems with contacting or discussing issues. I found her authoritative where I was uninformed, able to understand differing views and to incorporate them to the realities of existing conditions. I think we should be able to bring my project to a successful completion.”
The Site Foreman
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 January 2016
“Never have I been so pleased to engage a professional service as I have done on this occasion. My interaction with The Site Foreman began with a hand shake and that has set the tone from the very first interaction. I respect and use the concept of 'straight talk' and once the team became aware of my style all discussions have been frank, open and honest - the only way to conduct business in my opinion. Please do not read into this negative robust discussion but rather read that this has been a journey of respect, communication, listening and my learning about how to go about such a project of a knock down rebuild. (I don't yet have photos, but when I do, they will be posted for sure.) We are yet to get this project complete but I have no doubt that if the journey that we have had thus far is how our build is going to progress, then I believe that I have made new friends and not just conducted a business transaction. I have recommended TSF to a colleague and he has engaged this professional group also. Thoroughly recommend The Site foreman to anyone seeking to build or renovate. It will be an experience, but if you listen to the advice, heed any warnings and be prepared to learn why and not close of your options that may be suggested, it will be a positive experience and you will get a good outcome.”
Bawtree Design | Architecture + Interiors
Architects in Katoomba, New South Wales
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 November 2015
“Nerida from Bawtree Design is our architect on our 6 month house renovation. We met with several architects and chose Bawtree Design as we felt Nerida had a true understanding of our needs and was flexible in finding ways to make the design work to fit our inflexible budget. Her vast experience and knowledge was invaluable and evident in her down to earth and grounded approach to trouble shooting and helping us sort out any problems along the way as well as planning for each stage. Throughout the design and planning, tender and building process, interiors and finishes, she has guided and supported us every step of the way, enabling us (as complete novices) to move forward with confidence. We would highly recommend Nerida at Bawtree Design and if we ever do another renovation or new build, would definately use her again.”

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 Katoomba, New South Wales 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 Katoomba, New South Wales 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 Katoomba, New South Wales, 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 2780 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 Katoomba, New South Wales 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 New South Wales 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.
