    Featured Reviews for Architects in Barwon Heads, Victoria

    Ed Ewers Architecture
    Architects in Barwon Heads, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 December 2015
    “We have used Ed for both of our renovations and have found him to be a great architect. For our first project we used Ed for both the design and the project management of a small renovation. We loved the design which dragged a 1970s monstrosity of a house (think lots of mission brown and wood panelling) right into the 21st Century. Tweaks that Ed made to layout just made the house 'work'. We were exceedingly happy with the result. Ed and his team worked tirelessly behind the scenes so that while we had the usual decisions to make, any of those problems that inevitably turn up on the site were solved before they hit our radar. Our second project was based in Sydney (see Ed's project titled 'Springfield' ) and although we spoke with some local architects we didn't get the same comfortable feeling as we had with Ed. Our second renovation was a major undertaking on a heritage listed house where there had been multiple renovations done in the past and little coherence. The floorplan had small spaces left over that had no practical use and the house was very tired. We extended but only by a small amount but again by rationalising the floorplan we have ended up with a much more usable space. The end result is a gorgeous home. This time I was the project manager but Ed and his team remained on call through-out for whenever my builder or I had any queries. What I love about Ed is that we have achieved a great balance between gorgeous design and practicality. The space looks fab but it is also easy to live in and we love that!”

    “Sergio designed and directed the construction project of what was to be the country house of my family in Cali, Colombia. In less than two months the structures and first floor of the house was already up (and of course the swimming pool!). The house was bamboo structured, with big open windows facing all directions of the property. Our time with Sergio was excellent, he is charming, reliable and has many incredible ideas for the design to be trend-forward at the same time as using unconventional materials.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 October 2012
    “Every day we find cause to enjoy our home and be thankful for the creative architecture and professional work of DE atelier - their design is innovative, functional and a retreat for peaceful living. Special features include raised walkway floating over a pond at the entrance, light-filled stairwell directing residents to lower level self contained living area, two bedrooms, study and bathroom. Upstairs the kitchen, living, balcony and master bedroom. Moving between the living and the bedroom features an internal bridge / walkway.

    “As a builder I was privileged to work with AMG on several projects for my clients, their professionalism to both the client and the builder made the job easy.

    “I have collaborated with Steven from SJ Bishop Architect on a number of projects now, and I have always found him to be highly professional and easy to work with. His vast knowledge of design principles, building materials and construction techniques, and sustainable architecture allow him to give clients a full range of options through out the design and construction process.

    Price Williams Architects
    Architects in Barwon Heads, Victoria
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 May 2015
    “Jason and Chris were very professional in their approach to our project. In the planning stages, they listened to what we were looking for with our renovation, and added some fantastic architectural improvements to our ideas in their drawings. During the construction, Jason project managed the works, regularly visiting the site ensuring the detail was implemented as drawn. A couple of years on, we are extremely satisfied with the outcomes of Jason's work, and are very much enjoying our renovated house. We would certainly recommend Price Williams Architects to anyone looking for a practical, yet architecturally interesting design.”

    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 Barwon Heads, 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 Barwon Heads, 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 Barwon Heads, 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 Barwon Heads 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 Barwon Heads, 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.
