Hindley & Co

Anne and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with! They had a clear vision from the very beginning of the project and their instructions were straight forward. Highly suggested and we look forward to working with them in the near future.

We have just completed a renovation and extension of a double fronted Victorian home in Elsternwick, designed by Anne and the team at Hindley & Co. The team designed an exceptional home, were fantastic to work with and the results speak for themselves. I would not hesitate to recommend Hindley & Co to prospective clients in future.

Anne came to us highly recommended by an architect friend. She did not disappoint. She took our half-baked plans for a double study/library (twin rooms separated by a hallway), and step by step helped us realise something better. We had no real understanding of materials and colours that might work, apart from what we might instinctively like on sight. Her knowledge and judgement in these respects was invaluable. She accommodated our whims, which included retaining our old red cedar doors and skirting boards. She put us onto a truly excellent team of builders for the actual work, and a top-notch carpenter, while helping us keep within budget. We continue to feel delighted with the result, which has satisfied both our practical needs and our desire to create a beautiful space in our Victorian-era home.

It was an absolute pleasure photographing Hindley & Co's Newtown project - Anne and her team have a sophisticated sensibility which is evident in all aspects of the project. The layout of the house maximised the opportunities/limitations of the site, their use of materials and light created a space that was open to incredible views and retained a warm, cosy feeling. I'm proud to add this project to my portfolio. Anne and all of the team have been a delight to work with, I can't recommend them highly enough.

I worked with Anne for a couple of months during my Architecture studies at RMIT and I really enjoyed working on this team cause Anne is an open-minded and well-prepared architect and I appreciated the professionality of her office.

A pleasure to work with - excellent from an organisational and design point of view. Couldn't be happier with the result and every stage of the process.

I enjoy working with Hindley & Co on their various projects over the past 3 years, they're always very thorough and have the clients interests at heart!

We asked Anne to look at our proposed project for a back yard extension / renovation and provide an estimate. She came back to us with a design idea that was completely different to what we had been planning and within budget. We loved her idea which gave us the space we required, whilst maximising our garden space and hired her. Throughout the project she was always quick to reply to our questions and accomodate our requests. We are very happy with the finished product.

Hindley & Co provided a top notch service from first discussions through to sketching, tendering with builders & managing the project during the build. Everything was seamless & all conversations were comprehensively explores & documented. The final design was over & beyond what we could have dreamed & the professional service we received ensured we the finish of the build was of the highest standard - we got all our crazy design ideas come to life! Thanks Anne & company !

We LOVE our extension... which was thoughtfully designed and built to a good quality standard. We found our architect to be responsive and a pleasure to work with... would recommend her to anyone! We especially enjoy our timber ceilings and polished concrete floors... and this is the kind of detail that Hindley & Co were able to provide that makes our place that little bit more special. Thank you, Anne!

I worked for Hindley & Co over a year and a half and have experienced the quality of architectural services provided by the company. The company's director, Anne has valuable local and international experience in the architecture and design industry. Her experience translates into elegant architectural design, good management and thorough execution for each project. She works closely with clients, consultants and her employees by being fully involved in every stage of the project from start to finish. As an individual, Anne is a great person to be around. She is knowledgeable, a good listener and an architect with integrity. Art and design is a strong passion of hers and this translates into the firm's notable projects, especially on an interior design level. Her good nature maintains long term working relationships with both consultants and clients through close collaboration. Having worked for Hindley & Co, I highly recommend the company to potential clients seeking residential architecture services. Although I had to move on from the company due to overseas travel, from my experience with the company I can strongly testify the excellent services tailored to each client and their respective project.

We have worked and collaborated with Hindley & Co for over a year now. There are particular attributes that set Hindley & Co apart from most architectural practices - 1. Precision - Hindley and Co are all about delivering exceptional quality architectural services, ensuring the project runs as smoothly as it can possibly run. The level of detail and consideration they pour into each drawing meets an elite standard that only a premium clientelle will seek out. 2. Service - Hindley and Co ensure they are always available to meet their client's needs and expectations - they maintain excellent communication with their clients and extended team. We can see this in their day to day operation - Hindley and Co make their jobs (passions) look easy. 3. Style - Hindley & Co bring together years of design and building experience, coupled with an elegance in their design technique - it's a very quiet delicate touch that one would say only a quiet and delicate team of architects could achieve. it's the beauty of perfect technique distilled to a simplicity that someone who really appreciates perfection could understand. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Anne Hindley and her team. We would recommend them to any person wishing to use the services of an exceptional architect.

We engaged Anne from Hindley and Co about 9months prior to commencing a large scale renovation of our mid-century home down in Geelong. We were exceptionally happy with her ideas, service, and attention to detail. At the end of this process we now have an incredible family home, which feels modern and 'architectually designed' but importantly still has a very strong mid-century feel true to our design brief. We had never renovated before felt and were somewhat overwhelmed at the outset. We initially met Anne and her colleague Nicole on-site to develop a design brief, and through further meetings in their office came to a design we loved. This was then thoroughly cost planned so we knew where we stood. She took care of all the permits and gave us multiple options/quotes for providers to do the BAL rating, geotech assessment, surveying etc (including a local quote each time as our place is an hour from melbourne). Once all the drawings were done and plans ready, Anne and Nicole then managed a competitive tender to find a local builder we were extremely happy. I feel this process saved us money in the long run. Things then got underway pretty quickly! Being naive to this process we decided to take up the 'full service' and have Anne administer the building contract. Truth be told the 1st 3-4months of the build were pretty much stress free for my wife and I as Anne and our builder liased directly - just involving us when necessary. The whole build took 10months. Every room was renovated and the floor plan received a significant overhaul. Anne was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Her fees were in-line with industry standards to my knowledge, and I feel we've got what we paid for. Anne also helped my wife choose a number of our key pieces of furniture and was able to access trade rates for a modest commission. So - Its all done now. We couldn't be happier... Time to have Anne and Nicole around for dinner and a few bottles of champagne!

We chose Anne as our Archicentre architect after seeing her work on Houzz. We made the right choice! Not only did she agree to work with us after other architects had said what we wanted to achieve (on our budget) was impossible, but she was able to give us exactly what we needed. She went above and beyond in helping us problem-solve a renovation of a very difficult floorplan on a tiny budget. She came to our house and sat down with us, then sent us multiple sketches and revisions, even updating her own ideas once new options occurred to her. The solution she came up with is wonderful and solved all our concerns, and we were able to manage it on our tight budget. We are almost finished with the renovation now and the amount of natural light, space, and functionality Anne's floorplan has given us is truly beautiful. We can't recommend her highly enough.
