Home Additions Services in Central Coast

“We engaged Mel and Lisa of Zugai Strudwick Architects to design a home for us based on the original beach shack built by my partners father over 60 years ago. 'Topsy' was the name given to our home in the 50's and the two adjoining properties were 'Tipsy' and 'Turvy'. Needless to say there was and is a great amount of history associated with our home and the community in which we live. Zugai Strudwick Architects spent a week with is in our old shack to get a sense of our lifestyle and the way we utilized the home both in the Winter and Summer Months. Mel and Lisa showed a great amount of respect for the history and my partner John's emotional attachment to the original shack. Their plans for us were absolutely perfect. Whilst we were preparing our home for the "renovation" it became evident that the home would have to be completely rebuilt. Our seaside location had taken its toll on our little shack. Now we are all bright shiny and new, warm in Winter and cool in Summer. Its not too precious but we are not falling through the floorboards either! I guess the best compliment to both Mel and Lisa (and of course John and myself) came over the recent holiday period when and old friend who had not seen the house completed knocked at the front door. She walked in and promptly burst into tears. It is very difficult to retain the 'soul' of an old shack like ours is what our friend said. With the guidance of Mel and Lisa we have managed to maintain the soul of our home and more. We are now enjoying our first Summer here in the new, improved shack and its working brilliantly. Can't recommend these ladies highly enough and look forward to them returning sometime soon to enjoy some long awaited sunshine! Thanks ZSA, Leigh and John”

“We engaged Cathy and her team from Slater Architects after they were highly recommended to us. The brief was to design a home that was filled with light and made the most of the block. We could not be happier with the end result, from concept to completion of our home Slater architects was there with us and they have made the process seamless.”

“ESD project managed the total renovation of our home including concept design, building plans, Council submissions and on-site management during construction. Their professional approach, attention to detail, experience and friendly can-do attitude made the whole process stress free. The project was completed on time and the end result was amazing. We have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
