Featured Reviews for Canterbury, New South Wales Architects

Kate Mountstephens Architecture+Heritage
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
8 Dec. 2015
“Kate would have to be one of the most diligent architects I have worked with, her documentation and plans are extremely clear and thorough. Kate also has a great ability to think on the go, and problem solve. I would more than pleased to be the site foreman on another one of Kate's projects in the future.”
anderson architecture
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
17 Jan. 2018
“We found Anderson Architecture a pleasure to work with. They worked with us to create a home that felt personal and at the same time, so much better than what we imagined. I can't recommend them highly enough - and I do recommend them all the tie to any family or friends thinking of renovating.”
Compass Architecture
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
21 May 2015
“Nathalie has worked with us to create a functional design for an extension to our suburban home that capitalises on our pretty view and perfect northern aspect, captures our desire for a comfortable but ecologically sustainable home and which will add value to our home, but most importantly, our everyday living. Nathalie is a pleasure to work with, respectful of our modest budget, receptive to our dreams and willing to work co-operatively with our builder. The first stage of our renovation/extension has already added much-need functionality and beauty to an ordinary family setting. We highly recommend Nathalie's services.”
CplusC Architectural Workshop
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
26 Mar. 2013
“There are many reasons why we are glad we chose CplusC over other architects. Firstly, their natural and balanced aesthetic strongly appeals to us and we are genuinely pleased and impressed with the quality of the construction of our home. Secondly, and as importantly, CplusC are both designers and builders. This has the advantage of avoiding disagreements between architects and builders, which meant a less difficult building process and minimises the unexpected costs that inevitably arise. Thirdly, CplusC are environmentally clever designers and builders: they design to minimise wasted construction materials; and their design and the materials they used means our ongoing expenses are reduced (we only need to turn the heater on for three or so weeks in the year, and don't use air conditioning, instead enjoying cross-breezes). CplusC have built us a beautiful home that our children will grow up in and we are happy to recommend them.”
Christopher Jordan Architecture & Design
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
7 May 2018
“Chris has done work for myself and my friends. He is highly recommended as both an architect and interior designer.”
Zugai Strudwick Architects
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
8 Nov. 2013
“As a builder that has constructed several projects for ZSA, I can highly recommend their architectural services. Their designs and working drawings are always thoroughly though out making the building process efficient and effective. ZSA have a firm understanding of the cost of building which sets them apart from the rest. They have excellent spacial awareness and knowledge of construction which is critical to a good design. Every client that I have shared with ZSA (more than 10) would highly recommend their services.”
Kreis Grennan Architecture
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
8 Jun. 2016
“I worked with Christian Grennan of Kreis Grennan when redeveloping two Torrens title dwellings in Glebe. It was a tight site with a dilapidated cottage and the neighbor’s didn’t want any more dwellings in the area. Kreis Grennan organized a meeting with the neighbors at a local pub prior to council submission and presented the concept design. It was a very positive experience, where everyone could ask questions and get honest answers. Not always answers they wanted to hear but answers that were considered. The meeting made the whole process run smoothly including the development application and subdivision. Construction drawings were produced with enormous attention to detail so my team knew what was required. The end result is fantastic. I would be happy to recommend Kreis Grennan to anyone looking for a quality architect”
Still Space Architecture
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
7 Apr. 2019
“We are first time renovators and love working with Nina. She is creative but practical, relaxed, and easy to work with. Nina is patient and accommodating of our requests and needs. Her designs have really addressed the challenges of maximizing space and liveability in a small house and of working with challenging council restrictions. We have found the whole experience fantastic and recommend her highly.”
The Site Foreman
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
14 Jan. 2016
“Never have I been so pleased to engage a professional service as I have done on this occasion. My interaction with The Site Foreman began with a hand shake and that has set the tone from the very first interaction. I respect and use the concept of 'straight talk' and once the team became aware of my style all discussions have been frank, open and honest - the only way to conduct business in my opinion. Please do not read into this negative robust discussion but rather read that this has been a journey of respect, communication, listening and my learning about how to go about such a project of a knock down rebuild. (I don't yet have photos, but when I do, they will be posted for sure.) We are yet to get this project complete but I have no doubt that if the journey that we have had thus far is how our build is going to progress, then I believe that I have made new friends and not just conducted a business transaction. I have recommended TSF to a colleague and he has engaged this professional group also. Thoroughly recommend The Site foreman to anyone seeking to build or renovate. It will be an experience, but if you listen to the advice, heed any warnings and be prepared to learn why and not close of your options that may be suggested, it will be a positive experience and you will get a good outcome.”
TDDP architects
Canterbury, New South Wales Architects
31 Jul. 2016
“We have been working with TDDP over the last 10 months to design our new home. Our brief was to renovate our house and extend it to cater for a family of 4 with 2 teenage children. From our initial discussions, it was evident that Victoria well understood our needs and what a family home requires in terms of functionality and comfort. Throughout the design process, she asked the right questions and proposed solutions, which would achieve a balance between our desired outcomes and budget constraints. Unlike other architects that we met as part of our selection process, Victoria does not impose a ready-made architectural vision but rather puts her Customer brief and vision at the centre of the project. What we particularly appreciate is her availability and responsiveness, which has made the last few months a lot easier for us. We look forward to continuing through the next phases of our project with TDDP.”

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 Canterbury, New South Wales 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 Canterbury, New South Wales, 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 Canterbury 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 Canterbury, New South Wales 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 New South Wales 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.

Questions to ask prospective residential architects in Canterbury, New South Wales:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3-D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (The architect's personal style could interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a project manager and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Do you foresee any complications with this project?
