Architectural Design Services in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

“Sean was very easy to work with. His design maximised the space available in our tenancy, taking advantage of the natural light to make it feel spacious. He had an excellent manner when dealing with contractors which helped us achieve our tight time-frame and stay within budget.”

“The Hyperspace team has been very professional and reliable. Our needs and expectations (including budget) were carefully taken into account. I would definitely recommend working with them.”

“I recently engaged Maria Filardo to work on the interiors of my lounge, kitchen, robe, and study, and the results are fabulous! Her creativity and attention to detail have transformed these spaces into something truly special. I highly recommend Maria for anyone looking to bring a fresh and beautiful look to their home. Thank you, Maria, for your outstanding work!”

“We were lucky enough to work with Mark Bruce from Collins Caddaye on a new build in Yarralumla, Canberra. They were a joy to work with from start to finish. They were clear in what they wanted, provided clear communication and updates, made well informed and clear decisions which made working with them very enjoyable. On top of that, the house that they designed was amazingly beautiful and we have only heard good things about their company. Chadwick Designs looks forward to working along side Collins Caddaye again soon for all window furnishings and external products.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Hugh Gordon Architect for a new house we are building. In the brief we told Hugh everything and anything we wanted to include, expecting Hugh to tell us that some of what we wanted wasn't possible. In fact, Hugh responded with "anything is possible!" He and his team were great to work with.”

“After shopping around for a suitable architect we settled on Philip Leeson Architects. Over several months we have been working with an architect (Sarah Truscott) from this company and couldn't be happier with how the process has gone so far (the house plans are currently being costed). Philip and Sarah have taken the time to really listen and understand our requirements (they even visited our current home to see how we live and what does and doesn't work for us in this house). Our brief was for a single level, solar passive (low-cost to run) family home for 5 that can also accommodate one of our three sons (who has special needs) as he grows into an adult - down the track we want the ability to section off part of the house for our son and a carer. Also, due to the care requirements for our son we are not a family that is able to go on vacations or travel, so in that respect our home is even more important than it would be for other families, as we can't take a break from it. Our home needs to cater to each family member's interests - for my husband that is a BIG garage (Philip and Sarah only really understood this when they saw all that our current garage contains!), for me it is a study/craft room and for my eldest child it is a separate space for LEGO. During the planning stage the value of engaging an architect has become very obvious - the puzzle of how to design a house to meet a variety of needs is not one that we could ever have come up with ourselves.”

“Dean stuck the right mix between listening to what you want, advising potential problems and practical suggestions to make things work. Very happy with the service”

“We worked with Studio 203 as the builder for the Lilyfield house. Throughout the build they were extremely focused and thorough on all aspects of detailing of the project including drawings, modelling, budgeting and finished product. No aspect was forgotten about and it was a very rounded approach to the design and philosophy of architecture in todays modern environment. They were very hands on in their approach and it really shows in the end result. If you want a team that really understand's architecture and how it has the ability to really transform spaces and ways of life there is no better team. Their smaller team also helps as they are across everything and things are not lost/misinterpreted which is very valuable. We would love the opportunity to work with their team on another project!”

“Allan Spira Architects designed us a beautiful airy eco-friendly four bedroom contemporary cottage in Canberra and helped us manage construction over a 12 month period with a limited budget. We also utilised the company's interior design expertise. We were grateful for the warm and flexible approach to design and in depth local knowledge - it helped produce the bespoke responsible home we dreamed about.”

“Steven took on the ultimate project, interpreting our design ideas from across the other side of the world while we lived in Turkey. Even over email, Steven’s passion and commitment to quality and achieving our dream home were always evident. He worked hard to interpret our brief of something “modern, concrete, industrial and glass, with lots of light (and no curved walls)” and produced a magnificent home from design, build (through project management) to completion – including the scary moment we arrived from overseas to see our dream, interpreted into reality, for the very first time. A few breaths were held for that very first glimpse but we could not be happier with the result of a well-planned, high-quality, modern, liveable home that reflects us and our lifestyle perfectly.”
