Marie Turner

We have been living in our home for over twelve years now and it never ceases to give us joy. Our block was difficult because of geography and building restrictions, which Nathalie overcame to design a fantastic house. Each room is filled with light and views of either the bush, escarpment or ocean. Nathalie’s design has grown with us; that is to say, we have not outgrown her design. There are so many little things that Nathalie was aware would make a difference of which we would never have thought. When designing our home, she always had in her mind how it would function, as well as appear, resulting in it being practical as well as beautiful.

Comment from Compass Architecture:

Thank you so much Marie, 12 years already!
I am so glad your house continues to delight. Your site is such a special & magical place that the house design grew from it. I am so grateful to have been part of the experience.

Julie Watts

I engaged Nathalie to draw up some plans for some renovations to my home. The end result is a more functional and light living space. I found Nathalie helpful suggesting different options and easy to work with. Very professional in all aspects. Providing detailed plans and all required paperwork making the application for DA and ongoing building work run smoothly.

Comment from Compass Architecture:

Thank you so much Julie. It is always a pleasure to work with you, and I am glad that I help making the complex process easier for you. I love transforming existing spaces to enhance the living experience: natural light, flow of circulation, natural ventilation, connection to outdoor area contributes to our well being.

Julia Roso

Nathalie helped us turned a 1915 farmhouse 'extension' (which helped with the DA process as it was not a new build) into a completely new home, within an fairly average budget. Her design is fabulous - we have been living in the house for 2 years very comfortably, and the layout works very well. Energy bills are low - there is no need for airconditioning, and the PVC double glazed windows and the right solar orientation mean even the electric underfloor heating is hardly ever used. We are very happy and one day when the budget allows and the kids grow up will be asking her to design that further extension she had earmarked when the time comes.

Thank you very much Julia. I am delighted to know that the family is happily enjoying the new spaces in your transformed house. It has been a pleasure to work with you and I will look forward to develop the design for the next stage when you are ready.

Amanda Henderson

Nathalie has amazing insight. Her attention to detail even impressed our builder! Nathalie took our three bedroom cottage and designed an open bright home that blended with the natural landscapes of the block. She thought of everything!!

Thank you very much Amanda. It is a privilege to be part of the journey to transform the existing cottage. I love that the family has lovely living spaces to enjoy.

Michael Milligan

Nathalie listened to our ideas and turned them into a vision. Her attention to detail was invaluable to ensure the project met our expectations and budget.

Comment from Compass Architecture:

Thank you very much Michael. It has been a pleasure to work with you and your special site to create a place that works with the environment: solar, air, water and views.

Clare Tuckerman

Nathalie has worked with us to create a functional design for an extension to our suburban home that capitalises on our pretty view and perfect northern aspect, captures our desire for a comfortable but ecologically sustainable home and which will add value to our home, but most importantly, our everyday living. Nathalie is a pleasure to work with, respectful of our modest budget, receptive to our dreams and willing to work co-operatively with our builder. The first stage of our renovation/extension has already added much-need functionality and beauty to an ordinary family setting. We highly recommend Nathalie's services.
