Green Building Services in Richmond, New South Wales

“I think what makes Jaime Brennan such a great architect is that he truly listens. He has delivered what we asked for, actually our home is more beautiful than we imagined. He knows his stuff so we got through Council quickly, which isn't typical of a strawbale development application in the Blue Mountains. The home that we have built together is beautiful, practical and comfortable. Jaime has project managed for us and we have stayed within budget. There has been a lot to handle and throughout the build Jaime has been a great communicator. He has often suggested alternatives that made our home more comfortable, practical, environmentally appropriate or more economical to build and we are so grateful for that. Jaime also helped us select a great builder. We couldn't be happier with our experience and we are really excited to move in to our home in a few weeks time.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Working with Ms Dang is a pleasant and fulfilling experience. No problems with contacting or discussing issues. I found her authoritative where I was uninformed, able to understand differing views and to incorporate them to the realities of existing conditions. I think we should be able to bring my project to a successful completion.”

“Our recent renovation has improved our home significantly, the 3 new skylights and sitting nooks bringing welcome sunlight and warmth into our kitchen, living room and dining room. Nimbus took the time to listen to our needs, incorporating our ideas to create the perfect space for family and friends to come together.”

“We are very happy with the service we have received from ISC Design from start to finish the project, specially Ibrahim always been there for us. I highly recommend ISC Design to any body looking for a professional service. Regards Reza Parchi”

“Lalit was approachable and responsive. After a lot of discussion we proceeded with a straightforward, single-level extension which produced some wonderful spaces in our Californian bungalow. While there are a few tweaks we might have anticipated that would have further enhanced the design, we are really happy with the project Lalit designed and appreciate his support throughout the project. This was a major project and Lalit was able to provide design and cost advice that guided us to a very successful outcome.”

“I have placed approximately $3m+ of domestic and commercial projects with Arena Design The execution and management of these projects has typically comprised of: Superb initial concepts Effective client and supplier management Excellent space planning Brilliant documentation Excellent project and build management I would not hesitate to commission Arena Design again in the future”

“Samidesign designed two homes for me in order to obtain DA approval. We had a very unique situation and were on a very short turnaround time and Sami, Nicola and his team worked tirelessly to get a positive result. Would highly recommend them for your architectural needs. Excellent job guys, couldn't have asked for a better team.”

“Douglas McNamara from Earthed Architecture was the best decision made in regards to the renovation of our home. From a financial point of view. Doug's design was a positive investment. The return of capital from his design far exceeded the cost to hire his services. Before we found Earthed Architecture, we had a ridiculous quote from another architect. That was just to get a design passed through council that a builder & I designed initially. That didn't include any design work. Doug's fee included design and getting passed through council and still came in well under the other architects fee. What I am saying is that Earthed Architecture's fees are super reasonable and the quality and service is top shelf. More importantly, from a family point of view, the design Doug came up with was nothing short of spectacular. He came up with ideas we would never think of in a million years. Our house is a 70s' fibro and the design Doug produced you would think it was a house out of a luxury magazine. The photos' included show the house before and Doug's schematic design. Doug's interior design looks even more spectacular. I will update the images of the actual build one the job is complete. Doug is humble and goes above and beyond. No fuss, polite, professional and straight to the point. Doing what is necessary to produce the best possible outcome. Spending hours on getting the configuration just right. Even when he proposed the design to us he was still very humble, unsure if we would like it. Humility is the sign of someone truly great. No matter how good he is, he still questions himself and always pushes himself to be the best he can. I can not recommend Doug and Earthed Architecture highly enough. You will not go wrong.”
