Kitchen Renovating Services in McMasters Beach, New South Wales

“Vanessa is amazing! So much so that I've given her the nickname "Sydney's Best", abbreviated from "Sydney's Best Architect". We have undertaken 2 renovations and Vanessa was the architect on both occasions. In fact, we delayed our 2nd renovation to coincide with her return to Australia so she could be on-site for the job. Vanessa has a relaxed and friendly manner that belies her expertise and talent. Whilst her ideas and recommendations are outstanding, Vanessa's great strength is her ability to listen to and understand what we were hoping to achieve and then to make it happen. Twelve months on from completion and we continue to be blown away with how happy we are with Vanessa's design. We love the home that Vanessa has designed for us and truly couldn't be happier. The wonderful thing is that it isn't just a home for adults or a home for kids. Vanessa has designed a home that is to be lived in and everyone living in the house loves it. The design takes in so many considerations - it's a home for entertaining and a home for living; it accommodates people having their own spaces but also areas for people to interact; the space is utilised extremely well with the roof and under deck areas utilised to create maximum storage and an additional room. The design is very clever. Additionally, Vanessa has a great approach to working with the builder and sub-contractors and whilst you often hear about builder / architect difficulties Vanessa's approach and way of working with people ensures a happy and positive outcome for all parties. We are now looking at developing some apartments and wouldn't think of using anyone else. In fact, we can't wait to work with Vanessa again. Great person. Wonderful architect.”

“Duncan was always a pleasure to work with. His plans were very accurate and detailed which meant there was no need for guess work from the builders. Utz Sanby have a high level of knowledge and experience when it comes to building a house which is comfortable, works with the environment and that just makes sense. Our home at Whale Beach turned out exactly as planned, within budget and with no compromises. It elicits admiring looks and photographs from people walking past every day. CAD 3 D drawings and multiple designs and models were provided in the design phase which made our decisions very easy to understand. Duncan was always eager to listen to my suggestions and incorporate them into the design. I did not ever feel that he was pushing me into creating a trophy house for his portfolio but rather a home that suited our family in every way. I highly recommend Duncan and Utz Sanby to anyone considering building a new house.”

“Michael Folk Architects and Interiors handled the renovation of our home in Rose Bay. Michael is so creative and innovative and designed the most beautiful home for us. Michael has such insight and vision. He created a haven for us and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Michael and his professional team. They are friendly, available and committed to each and every client of theirs.”

“Kitty was a pleasure to work and I would definitely recommend her to others.. She was very professional, prompt with feedback and very knowledgeable about all the project processes so the design and approval felt very stress free. She really listened to our brief/requirements and worked hard to deliver a design that worked for our budget. We are really happy with our final project.”

“We could not have been happier with the home that Keith and Trudi from Form Follows Function designed for us. Our house was demolished and completely rebuilt and we employed Keith at the very outset of the project . Keith managed the entire project including multiple rounds of designs, working with a difficult local council and managing their many compliance requirements, tendering and selection of a builder and then management of the detail of the build throughout the project. At all times Keith was calm, thorough and he really made the whole experience easy for us. While Keith and Trudi were really great to work, I guess the most important part of any home build is that you are happy with the final product. ... And we are.. The home we have ended up with is amazing to live in! The spaces are great, the light throughout is amazing, the finishes are spot on and people constantly comment on the quality of the the build and finishes. The design is very clever and makes for a family home that is cosy when you want it to be but can accommodate hoards of kids and family effortlessly.... and it is a great looking house! Having heard a lot of horror stories about clients sacking architects part way through a build because everyone disagrees - we could not have had a smoother ride! I would absolutely recommend From Follows Function - both for the experience of working with Keith and Trudi and for the wonderful homes they create!”

“I am an Interior Decorator, who has worked with Michael Bell Architects on a few major jobs. Firstly, he is very easy to work with, understands the brief completely, and is versatile, and highly respectful of the type of house and the surroundings, whether it be a country homestead,a Paddington Terrace house or a Gracious waterfront home.. He has always been on time with his drawings, and comes up with some great concepts. His attention to detail is superb, and completely involves himself in the project. Sincerely Jane Christmas Jane Christmas Interiors”

“Mark Baxter and David Jacobson are sensitive skilled architects. They will hear your needs and also offer you a selection of alternatives to expand your possibilities. Throughout the renovation of our duplex, architect Leith Schmidt and all the BJA team were professional and supportive, as well as monitoring fine details and dealing with inevitable changes in design due to unknown circumstances. They were a pleasure to work with, I would have struggled without them, and I would use them again. Virginia”

“We have a small 1929 apartment with 2 bedrooms and a study. Barbara was able to look at our internal space and work out what areas we did not use. Then with a clever wall change and relocation of our kitchen plus taking out a spiral stair she created in the same footprint a 3 bedroom plus study home. Barbara walked us thought the whole process from concept drawings, thought council approval all the way to the interior design. I can highly recommend her if you are looking to either build a new or renovate.”

“Jack from John Greenwood designed and ran our project. We were extremely happy with the design and it changed our living experience. His understanding of our needs and getting what we wanted into the design was amazing. Over several meeting and discussions he took from our heads how we want to live and turned it into our great new renovation. His came up with wonderful ideas we had not even thought about.”

“Sharon is an amazing architect that helped build our new duplex. Throughout the process, Sharon was supportive of our vision, easy to work with and confidently designed a combination of a practical and aesthetically pleasing home. Sharon managed to incorporate elements of both a cozy cottage design mixed with a modern touch that feels timeless and comfortable. Sharon's innovative and unique ideas made the process exciting, her passion throughout the project and attention to detail was reaffirming that we had the right architect for the job! I couldn't be happier with the outcome and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sharon Campbell Architects for future projects.”
