After having discussions with several architects to undertake our major home renovation, we landed on Ed and Nora because we knew from the moment we met them they would be able to help us translate our vision into reality. Not only are they professional and easy going, they are truly passionate and get involved in every single stage and detail of the project. Importantly, they helped us navigate through speedbumps and were always 'on call' whenever an issue came up. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive and responsive team (including our builders, also recommended through Ed & Nora) particularly in circumstances where we had never done any home renovations before and weren't quite sure what to expect.
In our opinion, Ed & Nora are the perfect team to work with as they are able to compliment each other with their own skill sets. Ed has some great ideas and attention to detail and Nora's interior design concepts were absolutely spot on. We are so thrilled and couldn't be happier with the end result and would highly recommend Dieppe Design for any home renovation or interior design work.

We found Ed on Houzz and got in contact with him before I bought the house I had my eyes on. He was very helpful and put me into contact with various professionals when we were going through the buying process.
Ed is very professional and very passionate about his work. Both Ed and Nora listen to what we want and their design is aesthetically pleasing as well as practical. Ed continued to work on our job even though he had a shoulder injury which required an operation half way during our renovation.
We will definitely work with Ed and Nora again in the future with our next renovation project.

Incredibly thankful to be put in touch with not only Ed, but all of the Dieppe Design team. From the outset Ed has been instrumental in creating our dream home that has exceeded all expectations. Nothing has ever been a problem and the attention to detail is always perfect even within tight timeframes. We couldn't be happier with the whole process from start to finish.

Ed and Nora are an excellent team, who brought class, practicality and quality to the design of our apartment renovation. We were really pleased with the direction that they took - choice of materials, colour schemes and use of space - it all came together better than what we had initially envisioned. We are so glad that we had Ed and Nora help us through with our first home renovation. Thanks guys!

Ed & Nora are fantastic professionals to work alongside. Ed's design was detailed, Nora's finishes were well thought through, and the duo were excellent to communicate with. We highly recommend them as architect, interior designer, and project managers.

We asked Ed and Nora to design the renovation of our cottage in Balmain in late 2016. They listened and understood what we wanted and added in suggestions that added so much and made the process so easy. The bought the contemporary skills and knowledge to the party and we ended up with an outstanding design which we loved.
Halfway through the design phase we found out that we were to relocate to the UK, we wanted to continue with renovation and Ed put on a Project Manager hat and managed the process from start to finish, tendering the work through council approvals, engineering difficulties, the build, defects, right up to lock up and completion.
Nora was great at the interior design phase of the process helping with colors, fixtures and fittings and widow coverings - amazing taste!
They were both so responsive, caring and helpful through what could have been a very stressful situation on the other side of the world!
We could not have put our faith in such a more amazing couple and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone!!

I highly recommend husband and wife team, Ed and Nora from Dieppe Design.
Ed fine tuned our plans and completed detailed drawings so the construction of our house ran smoothly for the builder/my husband.
Nora helped me with the entire colour scheme and finishes for the house
I had so many questions at all hours, but nothing was a problem.
Our house is all done and everything looks so good!

Dieppe design allowed my husband and I to create the house of our dreams. Dieppe design is all about elegance and timeless feel. Ed demonstrated great patience, understanding care and professionalism throughout the project, and we are very grateful to have been able to work with him.

As a Landscape Designer I have worked collaboratively with Ed in the DA process for a new home in the Sydney metro area. Ed is an exciting architect, he exudes tremendous creativity with his designs, which in turn provides for further creativity in any complementary landscape plan.
Notwithstanding his creativity, his pursuit of excellence, detail, presentation, client service and overall business acumen is exceptional.
It is a pleasure to work alongside a talented professional.

We used Dieppe Design to completely design our new home and couldn't be happier. We found the perfect mix of knowledge, expertise, imagination, passion and communication which lead to a sensational result. Ed has a passionate and professional approach to the process, and took the time to understand and fully deliver on our brief. From a design perspective our site contains lots of challenges, all of which were extremely well addressed. The resulting design has garnered lots of 'wow' type comments from those who have seen it. Working with Ed is an absolute pleasure, and you'd be hard pressed to find someone more dedicated and easy to work with. We are all too happy to highly recommend Dieppe Design.

We couldn't be happier with the architectural and design services given to us by Dieppe Design. Both Ed and Nora listened so carefully to what we wanted - they nailed everything we asked of them and helped us understand the process. Expectations were well managed and we are so very happy with our renovated house!
They came along to see how the build was going several times - something that they did not have to do and they only did so because they care about their work so much.
Would recommend Dieppe Design to anyone.

We engaged Dieppe Design to help us transfer a very old looking three bedrooms townhouse to our dream house. We have no clue when we first buy this house, the internal structure is not good, kitchen and living ares are small, upper level is little bit crowed...We did lots of research and finally met Ed and Nora, thanks god! They are perfect for our job, Ed changes the internal structure and made lots of conversation with us to make sure we are happy. The drawings he did is PERFECT! He pays lots of attention to details and he also explain to our builder how to do it when the job started. He is very patient and professional and handsome guy~~~ Nora is taking in charge of our interior design, she is amazing! She knows what I like and she can find everything I like either, the tile, the wallpaper, the flooring....everything! She is really care of the quality feel and also can save you a lot by recommending some very good suppliers both in term of price and quality. We are very satisfied their work and will recommend them to our friends. If you have a house and want to change it to your dream home which living everyday happily then go find Ed and Nora, the sweet couple will help you in anyway....

Dieppe Design were great! We hired them to design & manage our complete kitchen renovation. Nora worked to our design brief perfectly & we are thrilled with the result. Ed was very professional & knowledgeable & very good at explaining drawings & processes in layman's terms for us first time renovators to understand! They both went above & beyond to ensure we were happy with the progress & outcome. We highly recommend this fab team.

Ed and Nora are so easy to work with. They recently helped me design and build an installation to advertise my photography services at a large event.
Their ideas were great, creative and achievable and i really enjoyed working with them.
They are so easy to get on with and very reliable, nothing was too much trouble for them.
They really went above and beyond with their services and what was achieved far exceeded my expectations.
I hope to work them again in the near future.
I would highly recommend Dieppe design.

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.
