“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!”

“Sam from Goldby Architects is a fantastic architect who understood our design brief from our first consultation. The firm is professional, progressive and creative and was responsive to our questions. Was pleasure to deal with and wouldn't hesitate to work with this firm again. Highly recommended!!”

“Right from the beginning my wife and I felt that Mark and his team were focused on listening to what our needs were, at the same time providing plenty of options and innovations for us to consider. It was important to us that Mark had a sound knowledge, and practical experience, of incorporating eco-friendly and sustainable features into the design. Overall, the progression of our project was very much a collaborative process which resulted in an outstanding, and much appreciated, outcome. 'Koorameet' continues to receive much complimentary feedback from friends and guests who have been fortunate enough to enjoy its delightful amenity as a short-term rental property.”

“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. I have no hesitation in recommending him to work on any architectural projects in the future. Melissa”

“Wonderful creative architect designed our home and delivered beyond our expectations. They designed out home to meet all of our requests and led us into making the right decisions on all of the materials and fittings and fixtures which resulted in the complete package both in design but also future maintanence of our home”

“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.”

“Sheri was the architect for my daughter and her husband for a major renovation of their house in Sandringham and they were very pleased with her design, co-operation throughout and the result. As a result we chose her as architect for a similar renovation of our holiday house in Pt. Lonsdale and were equally satisfied with her design,drawings and assistance throughout. Sheri is talented, competent and co-operative and I would recommend her for this type of work.”

“Christopher worked on this project with a considered approach to detail reflected in the plans he prepared and revised according to the changes that evolved. This attention to detail was appreciated by the builder who was working on the project. In addition his regular site meetings were written up in detail and provided the direction for the progress of the building and the extenuating circumstances that were faced due to its age. Christopher also provided good sources when it came to selecting tiles, flooring and other materials; his selection of quality materials adds to the style and line of a renovation. The journey of working on this project with Christopher was a rewarding one, which he helped to bring to fruition with a minimum of fuss.”

“Luisa is very thoughtful and found us a solution which really suited our needs but was very economical. She was reliable and really efficient and we recommend her to all our friends on the surf coast.”
