    Featured Reviews for Architects in Ballarat, Victoria

    Green Point Design Pty Ltd
    Architects in Ballarat, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 May 2016
    “We have been involved in two major residential projects with Eric, from Green Point Design, one a new build and the other a major renovation of a Victorian residence. As indicated by the fact we used Eric's services twice, we were extremely happy with both projects and in all our dealings with him and Green Point Design. He is an excellent communicator, as well as a good listener and unflappable in the face of change or challenges. He is both a creative and practical architect, committed to meeting the requirements of his clients and working alongside them in a partnership over the course of the project and beyond. His commitment to and knowledge of the environmental factors of building and design is immense and we are certainly reaping the rewards of a more sustainable house because of this. He was a pleasure to work with, always responding quickly to queries, unfailingly polite and respectful and a excellent working partner for builders and other professionals involved. I would recommend him highly.”
    Peter Vernon Architects
    Architects in Ballarat, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 September 2016
    “Peter is an excellent architect. We have used him for two projects: a renovation of a large terrace in Surry Hills, Sydney (2002) and a renovation of a family house in Camberwell , Melbourne (2006). Peter listened carefully to our needs and created beautiful homes for us. He also managed both projects. He is experienced, creative and practical (brilliant bathrooms and kitchens). It is unusual to find a someone who has clever, ‘big picture ideas’ (eg. orientation of rooms, how to maximise light) while also being good with details (eg. a carefully positioned nightlight in our hallway, dimmers in the right parts of the house). He was respectful of our budgets. We highly recommend him.”
    Enduring Domain Architecture
    Architects in Ballarat, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 June 2016
    “Enduring Domain are project managers and designers of our new house, on a sloping country block with specific restrictions imposed by the water authorities. They have faced all challenges with imagination and humour and we are very much enjoying watching the project unfold. Having originally planned to design it ourselves, each time we see the clever design ideas included in this small structure we tell each other "that's why you need an architect". Highly recommended, especially for their concern for environmental sustainability and experience in :"green" building and design.”
    Moloney Architects
    Architects in Ballarat, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 March 2017
    “Fantastic! After having some thorough conversations with Mick and viewing previous work we established Moloney Architects were the firm for us. We have now been working with them for two years to create our dream home. They has been extremely generous with their time, flexible, enthusiastic and supporting through the different stages of the project. The expertise offered at all times keeps us confidant that we will be achieving the best result for us. They were great at designing a solution aimed at our budget, but still giving us the point of difference we were after. They really took all of our criteria into consideration. Can not speak highly enough of this practice. We have developed what we feel is a lasting friendship and are already talking about what our next project will be, we have enjoyed ourselves that much!”
    Luke Stanley Architects
    Architects in Ballarat, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2015
    “Luke was selected to design and project manage our modest renovation (The Plinth House). From Day 1 we were impressed with his design ideas, his detailed research and his comprehensive understanding of the brief. He brought fresh, well considered ideas to the table that were simple, elegant solutions that we had not previously considered. It was refreshing to see well imagined and well resolved ideas and we had total confidence in Luke's design judgement from the earliest stages. He seemed to really 'get' what we were aiming for and had an obvious strong interest and affinity with the project. Though it was a relatively small renovation, Luke developed solutions to a range of issues (room sizes, storage, amenity etc) that fitted within our budget, were entirely respectful of the existing character of our home, and amplified our enjoyment of the property. His advice throughout the project was spot on. He created a seamless transition from existing character to improved amenity, through his considered choice of materials, colours, fittings, finishes and scale. We asked him to design and project manage as if it were his property, and as if it was his budget. We couldn't be happier with the result. At every point he checked with us, advised of our options and provided valuable professional advice. Every aspect of Luke's work, including project managing a (very good) local builder, has enriched our enjoyment of our little "Plinth House". Luke met every deadline, provide constant feedback (including product options, progress of works etc) and our budget. Most importantly he met, then exceeded our expectations and was a pleasure to work with.”
    Porter Architects
    Architects in Ballarat, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 June 2015
    “We recently engaged Nathan to support us through the renovation of our house and the construction of a studio in the backyard. We were extremely happy with overall outcome and the manner in which Nathan worked with us throughout the build. Nathan's vision for the studio has exceeded what we thought would have been possible as it nestles beautifully into our block and serves as a great space to work from and host guests. One of the things that impressed us most was Nathan's commitment to making sure the whole package of work came together aesthetically and functionally. We always felt Nathan was happy to help us make good decisions about even the most simple of design elements. We are very thankful for Nathan's work and have recommended him to friends.”

    “I've had the pleasure to work with Talina Edwards Architecture on an editorial feature for Junkies Magazine where we collaborated on an article about sustainability. Talina is a highly experienced professional, is easy to work with and runs a very informative blog about sustainability on her website where I am a subscriber.”

    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 Ballarat, Victoria 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 Ballarat, Victoria 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 Ballarat, Victoria, 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 Ballarat 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 Ballarat, Victoria 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 Victoria 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.
