“Brent from Eight Six Design was the architect that created our fantastic new house. Its a single story 4 bedroom, cladded, colour bond roof with above ground concrete pool, wide entrance hall and lots of deck He did a wonderfull job and was always eager to help with any changes and worked well with the all the trades as required. His design has had many people asking us about him and we have referred new cutomers already. We had very little trouble with a build that had to be 1.5 meters off ground level and could have been very difficult, Brents ability to see potential faults and deal with council and certifiers made our project run like a well oiled machine. I can't thank him enough and would reccomend Eight Six Design very highly.”

“Lauran designed a contemporary house set on a steep and challenging block in Beecroft. She patiently worked though our changes, put up with our indecision and promptly sent back the revised plans for review. In summary, great quality service, excellent value for money.”

“Glenn was easy to work with from day one and had a great understanding of our brief. He not only worked but ran with it to provide us with something that was so much better than our origional vision. Glenn spent lots of time working collaboratively with us through the whole process. This was our first build and his experience, expertise and support were invaluable. We have just asked Glenn to work with us again on a new property and can't wait to see what he comes up with.”

“We can't speak highly enough of Matt. His ability to work with us on refining our initial ideas into a succinct brief was a large part of why our project went so smoothly. That coupled with his highly efficient design skills, meant we were able to quickly reach a final design we were extremely happy with. His technical knowledge is first class and his meticulous attention to detail meant the builder was provided with a comprehensive set of drawings which made for a smooth build on a very difficult and constrained site. We are only too happy to recommend Matt.”

“We could not give more praise to Angus and his team at True North Architects. From start to finish the team was dedicated, professional and really listened to what we needed and hoped for. Every time I had a question or idea for the project Angus talked me through why it would (or wouldn't) work, and how these ideas might influence the design. We had interviewed 4 other architects prior to True North and these guys were by far the team who listened the most to our overall style and goals. Angus has a lovely personal style of genuine warmth and connection whilst also being highly intelligent, creative and respectful to the builders and other trades he worked with. I would give these guys 6 stars if i could!”

“We met Milos from Site Studio through a neighbour, and were immediately on the same wavelength. We love Milos' down-to-earth approach, understanding our need to transform our small dark terrace into what it's become - a light, airy, modern, industrial and a little bit funky home! Milos was in tune with our support for sustainability, for material reuse (we used 100 year old thick hardwood beams from an old George St building, recycled spotted gum flooring for some cladding, and now have a great recycled brick feature wall). Milos also got his hands dirty! We spent a couple of afternoons sanding and staining our huge beams. It was fun, but also reflects Milos' approach which is very much connected to the build. Milos and our builder, Andre from Kestrel Building, got on well and they both included me as client in the whole process. Milos was super creative throughout the build - from roof garden ideas, to our perforated steel landing to allow light into the hall below, to the 'stepped' roof with clerestorey windows to bring in air and light, to ideas for alternative materials, and much more. Milos is also very good value, bring his creative ideas at very reasonable rates. He also was happy for me to take charge where I could, in order to cut costs. And he included and actively sought my input. We are thrilled with our home that started with Milos' great design, and that he help guide along the way. We now have our much needed upstairs 'parents retreat' with ensuite and small robe, our beloved roof garden, our new downstairs bathroom, kitchen and living room with high ceilings and clerestorey windows leading out to the landscaped courtyard. Thanks Milos and Site Studio!”

“The lake house is a much loved holiday home. However having survived being the host for over three decades to four children and countless family and friends, it desperately needed some work. Despite several attempts to do it ourselves, living in Sydney made it essentially impossible. Bringing Jasmine onboard as the project manager changed all that. Jasmine was professional, diligent and understanding of what we wanted and what the house needed. She sourced reasonably priced quality tradesmen and oversaw each step of the process. Without being pushy, Jasmine provided ideas when we were stuck and identified items to consider that weren't initially in our scope but that significantly improved the final outcome. The completion of the works has been timely and we're still coming to terms with how amazing the place looks now! We will definitely be using EKAH Studio again and highly recommend it to others.”

“I highly recommend Studio Leith Architecture to design your new home. I gave Daniel some rough ideas about what I wanted for my new home in Wyong and I couldn’t have been happier with the design and final outcome. All the intricate details he put into the house look amazing and it is one of a kind Julie Holloway”

“Hungerford & Edmunds are a very professional organisation to be associated with and it was our pleasure to be included as a nominated manufacturer of architecturally designed timber windows and doors for the Newtown House. Their attention to detail with the integration of our products into their design concept was exceptional and the end result of the completed project was a reflection of this. Well done Tim and Belinda of Hungerford & Edmunds Architecture & Design! – Russell Pugh | General Manager”

“Mark Baxter and David Jacobson are sensitive skilled architects. They will hear your needs and also offer you a selection of alternatives to expand your possibilities. Throughout the renovation of our duplex, architect Leith Schmidt and all the BJA team were professional and supportive, as well as monitoring fine details and dealing with inevitable changes in design due to unknown circumstances. They were a pleasure to work with, I would have struggled without them, and I would use them again. Virginia”
