The relationship between MDS & Birkenstock Australia has been a success on every level.
As a result we have been fortunate to move into our beautiful & award winning HQ. I look back upon the design and build process a couple of years ago and believe that MDS have applied incredible skill to make our ambitious plan a reality. Thank you.

We hired MDS to design an addition to our unique 1880's home. MDS were faced with many restrictions and complications in developing the site: a heritage overlay, a very small footprint, and a limited budget, not to mention indecisive clients. MDS worked closely and patiently with us to develop a design that suited our style and practical needs as well as the style of the surrounding area. They were open and receptive to all feedback and able to translate this into design plans we are really proud of. The team has been incredibly supportive and professional throughout the planning application stage and have been inventive in seeking solutions to any problems that have arisen. They always displayed a genuine care for their work and clients - we felt lucky to have them on our team.

Our experience with MDS was fantastic. They explained the process clearly and engaged with us at every step along the way. When there was the inevitable minor problems with our build MDS were there quickly to ensure that it was dealt with quickly, which greatly reduced our stress. If I renovate or build again I'd hope to use MDS again.
