Architects in Loira, Tasmania

“We had initial discussions with a number of architects before we met Jane from alsoCAN and were becoming rather downcast about our planned renovation to our house. None of the earlier architects seemed to listen to what we wanted and charged ahead with their own concepts. Jane was different she listened to our ideas and also our desire that any design should assist us to keep with in our prescribed budget so as to avoid over capitalisation. Our property had 100 years of modification and attachments to it one build upon another and by the time of our renovation it was a complicated multi-time period property. Jane was able to take the vision we had for the property and enhance that vision with her experience and creativity. Jane did this through listening meaningfully to her clients, employing her own professional skills and a good dose of practical judgment and tact in guiding her sometimes stubborn clients. After many revision we sorted through a complicated structure developing a design that maintained the older part of the house and included a completely new modern back section of the property that was done in a aesthetically appealing and complementary manner. With our Jane's professional assistance we would never have achiever the result that was finally constructed and certainly not within budget. No one that comes to our house for the first time fails to comment on what a beautiful home it is and is in large part because of Jane. We would have no hesitation recommending Jan and if were to need advice and draws made up for another project Jane would be the first person we would call. Christopher Cody and Desmond Liew”

“We engaged Building design Studio to assist with design, drawing up plans and the approval process of our house. The assistance we received was most helpful with the end product displaying a sharp and modern design which along with a very practical structural design resulted in what we believe Is a house which is very liveable and comfortable in its surroundings.”
