“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.”

“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.”

“As a first time home builder with no knowledge of what was involved it was a wonderful relief to be referred to Geoff at GD Architecture. Not only has he given me a design I'm really happy with but his guidance and his own personal dealings, on my behalf, with the local council have been really appreciated. Quick to respond to any questions I might have, combined with everything else I've mentioned, I can safely say I would highly recommend his business to anyone. I already have... to my sister!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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. The design enhances our privacy as we look out to a rural view, yet sheltered from the urban street.”

“I have known Marina on a personal and professional level. I have found her to be very profesional and innovative.”

“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.”

“We have completed many projects for Planworks Architects and thoroughly enjoy working with Clive and his team. From a build point of view, the detail covered on all accompanying documents at tender stage are fantastic, there is no stone unturned. The tender process is always fair and proposed estimates are always met. I thoroughly recommend Clive and his team at Planworks Architects”
