Architects in Hartley Vale, New South Wales

“Mark worked with us from concept to completion to design our new home. He was very knowledgeable and practical when it came to energy efficiency and sustainability. We found him to be very committed, flexible and easy to partner with. He paid close attention to what we wanted from the house, both now and in the future and we are really happy with the result. Importantly he developed a great relationship with our builder and was able to contribute his ideas and guidance to the building phase. Going with a building designer was a good compromise between the cost of an architect (and potential budget blowout with an architects artistic vision) and an off-the-shelf design.”

“Kirstie made our build experience effortless!!! My wife and I hired Kirstie to design a granny flat, with the intent to build the walls made of hemp. It was a new material that we had no experience with, and after a few conversations, we were sold on the qualities this building material would bring to our property. We hired Kirstie to complete the design, submit and manage the design through to council approval, oversee the build of the hemp walls, and consult on all matters regarding the build. This was the first time my wife and I had attempted to build a dwelling. For starters, she managed to get the design approved by council in record time. We were expected a long drawn out process, but found that she handled the interaction with council so efficiently, and guided us through the steps with ease. Then when the time came to build, she consulted on various aspects of the build (as we were building it as owner builders), and she also ran a workshop to get the walls built. With her guidance, patience and experience, the build experience exceeded our expectations. Everything went smoothly, and her meticulous planning ensured the workshops were a success, and the final finished product was sensational. We thoroughly recommend using Kirstie for your next build, and can confirm she will be our architect / consultant on all builds moving forward. Thank you Kirstie for a great build experience.”

“Six b were recommended to us by another builder as an architect focussed on environmental sustainability. From our first meeting this proved to be the case. Jamie focussed on the smallest detail to ensure the result was what we wanted and was the best outcome. We spent some 18 months working the plans up to the council approval which we obtained in 6 weeks as all the home work had ben done. The builder was then chosen from a short list of four. The builder, the architect and ourselves met almost biweekly to overcome all items of contention. Jamie kept minutes of all meetings. We had 46 meetings and in the end we had what we wanted and all were most satisfied. Jamie drew up the contract and kept a good control over all costs. This is our second use of an architect and I cannot speak highly enough of Jamie and his focus on the customer”
