Both Stephanie and John provided excellent service in architectural advice and design. They were pleasant and listened to what we desired, were pragmatic and constructive and creative in their response and demonstrated "thinking outside the box" as well as a good understanding of council process. They provided excellent models of the project and also ensured that our expectations were realistic. Always prompt and accessible, they were easy to contact either by email or phone. Their service represented excellent value for money and they came in with a strong recommendation from a close friend.

John has great design flair. He listened sensitively and was open to what we wanted. He designed solutions which built on our ideas and enhanced them, and gently dissuaded us from decisions we might later regret. John and Stephanie are very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with, and we look forward to seeing the end product.

It was a great pleasure to work with Steph and John on this project. They were well organised and clear communicators from the beginning through to completion.
Thanks to their capability and skill in both the creative architecture and the practical skill of seeing the project through to completion, the project reached its full potential.
We were able to develop an effective working (builder-architect) relationship which made the process collaborative and enjoyable. The client is very happy and the results speak for themselves (see the photos).
We look forward to working with Inbetween again very soon.

Steph and John designed and project managed a major renovation of a 1960s built apartment which last had a face lift in the 1980s. They were thorough at every stage ,planning, contracting to trades people, dealing with the planning authority and body corporate.When the inevitable problems surfaced they were excellent in their communication with us and all relevant parties.We were very hands off once the design plans were finalised , we just left them to it and were very pleased with the result.The whole project was painless and it came in on budget, thank you Steph and John

It is such a pleasure to review John Liu and Stephanie Richardson at Inbetween. Working with them has made what was a stressful, high-anxiety experience of renovating our house into an exciting, easy and pleasurable journey. There are several impressive things about the way they work, but in terms of the process itself, what we were most struck by (in comparison to other firms we had approached) was their attention from the start to understanding who we are, how we live now and how we are likely to live into the future as our family grows up. This has allowed them to design a house that is truly for US and as the build has taken place we can see this vision emerging, piece by piece. While from a pragmatic point of view the best thing about Inbetween is their creative intelligence and design nouse (because you get a great result), the confidence we have been able to have in their advice and integrity has been priceless. This has made the process not just incredibly smooth, but actually FUN (which was most unexpected)! It's without hesitation that I highly recommend John and Steph at Inbetween.

I recently worked with John on the Ruffey Lake House shoot. I was really impressed with how ethically and fairly he treated everyone involved, how well organised he was - (there were many people and aspects to co-ordinate for the day), how calm and professional he was, the wonderful styling he'd organised and of course, what a stunning house he designed. There was beautiful light streaming into every part of the house - even the very centre! I very much look forward to working with John again in the future, he made my job incredibly enjoyable and easy.

We love a call from John and always jump at the chance to work on his projects. He knows how to create magical spaces, shapes and details within the architectural context. I find his work both brave and comforting. Projects we have seen flow beautifully with clever layouts, materials and detailing that transform homes into something truly special. He expertise, dedication and happy clients are evident in the outcomes he achieves. We find working with John most enjoyable as he is an all-round good guy. We hope to have him design our home one day.

Inbetween Architecture managed all aspects of our renovation while we were interstate. His attention to details and professionalism made what could have been a stressful task a breeze. We managed to keep within our budget without compromising on the quality we anticipated. We were very impressed by the substantial time and effort John put in for the renovation and would not hesistate to recommend him and Inbetween Architecture.

For our recent renovation, John was the chief architect and point of contact for us. We were pleased for him to take charge throughout the renovation and he balanced the difficult task of meeting the needs of both builder and clients, making the renovation process, other than paying the bills, stress-free! From inception to completion, John demonstrated great communication skills. He was fast to grasp what we wanted despite our lack of specifics and would offer ideas that surprise us in a good way. He kept us up-to-date with the progress of the renovation through out the process. His quick response to any builder’s enquiries means the project was not delayed.
As opposed to some renovation stories, our renovation story is one of immense enjoyment. It was impressive to see the transformation of our house throughout the months. InBetween acted as the project manager for us and fortnightly site meetings were held to maintain momentum. We are happy to recommend InBetween Architecture to all and sundry.
