Featured Reviews for Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects

Pettet Architects
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
29January,2019
“Sean from Pettet Architects is a talented and passionate professional whose care and attention to detail helped us build our dream home. He interpreted our requirements and desires into a beautiful design and was always on hand during construction to ensure any questions from the builder could be answered. It is only once the house is built that you truly appreciate Sean's ability to incorporate the unique aspects of your home's location (such as positioning of windows, light and solar aspect) and foresee many other minor details that you you would never even consider but truly make the difference between a good home and a dream home.”
CHROFI
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
10March,2019
“I have just completed the build on a residential project with Chrofi. Our family home in Balmoral. The minimalist design is more than I could have hoped for. Chrofi have created a simple yet sophisticated home that is uncomplicated and able to stand alone without needing unnecessary ornamentation. I entrusted Chrofi with free design scope to present the best possible solution for the difficult site without any limitations (apart from the budget). And I am so glad, as the house is full of light and space. They designed a house that is settled into the landscape in a way that other architects had not considered. And it's precisely that careful consideration that allows the house to work so well. It's a house that slowly unfolds itself to you. It really does feel like a work of art, it has a meditative quality. It's intimate, but with a sense of space. It's restrained, but detailed and finished to a very high standard. As you move through the house you are immersed in a sense of calm. And that calm comes from the well designed spaces using constrained and complementary materials. It's the perfect retreat away from the activity at the beach below.”
The Quinlan Group
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
24May,2018
“Beautifully designed and executed renovated Bondi Semi. Listened and delivered to the brief creating high ceilings indoor outdoor spaces and fresh new family experience. As an architectural Photographer I work with Architects ever day. i chose Justin to design our Home because of his understanding of Scale and space, hie understanding of material and timing and his professional approach to the brief. My highest recommendation. Tyrone”
All Australian Architecture
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
19June,2019
“Adam and his team were fantastic at conceptualizing and designing our home. I was very particular in my design requirements and have strong opinions about how I want things to look, Adam was extremely patient and empathetic throughout. He was able to take my vision and craft it into reality, finding ways to improve on it with lots of light and energy efficient design. Adam and his team are professional and friendly and both the initial design and updated versions were done quickly and accurately. The builders had zero issues with the plans and the sign off process (via CDC) was very fast thanks to all the time Adam took to consider every angle. I couldn’t recommend All Australian Architecture highly enough.”
Watershed Design
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
25March,2014
““We originally contacted Mark following a door knock enquiry to a Watershed designed property in Queenscliff that caught our attention. We were attracted to it by the modern, unpretentious style, quality finishes and seemingly good use of space on a tight block. Our brief to Mark for our home was to create an open feel from back to front of the block, while retaining the option to section parts of the house off and maintain privacy or “retreat” areas when required. In meeting the brief Watershed were able to provide a clever solution to a problem and create a practical and inviting living space that we had previously been unable to visualise, or even imagine possible. The layout and proportions of the property are perfectly suited to our needs and the design makes outstanding use of the property’s location and aspect. Mark worked collaboratively with the builder and was flexible and pragmatic when changes were required. All credit to Watershed for designing a beautiful and immensely “liveable” home that will stand the test of time.””
mm+j architects
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
18September,2016
“David from MM&J gave me a brand new apartment - taking my ideas/ brief for a kitchen and bathroom and delivering on it with much more. What was once a dated & cramped early 2000s apartment with pretty cheap fittings now seems luxurious and super modern. It reflects my hubby and my style without being fadish. I am sure we will love it in 10 years as much as we do today. He worked with great builders and made sure the process was a painless as possible. The job was delivered within the time he'd quoted - which is important when you have to live elsewhere while it gets done.”
Michelle Walker architects
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
21March,2013
“Michelle Walker architects came up with a wonderful sympathetic design for my beachside home in Manly. With clever use of space and design she managed to fit in all my room requirements but still accommodated council conservation heritage and DA constraints. I would high recommend her services.”
Hobbs Jamieson Architecture

“Adam and the team do an outstanding job. They have strong attention to detail and listen to what clients really want blending that with their vast experience to guide the project to a successful outcome. Simon Hardaker - North Manly”
The Site Foreman
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
14January,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.”
Dieppe Design
Manly Vale, New South Wales Architects
7July,2015
“We've used Dieppe Design for two renovation projects - a two bedroom unit that needed a total overhaul and a small 1940s house that needed more space and updating and we couldn't be happier on both occasions. Dieppe Designs presented us with modern, efficient concepts that were flexible to our needs and budget. The work was done in an excellent timeframe and communication with our builders and council was seamless. Couldn't recommend highly enough.”

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 Manly Vale, 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 Manly Vale, 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 Manly Vale 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 Manly Vale, 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 Manly Vale, 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?
