Would highly recommend Minett Studios. Alishia was wonderful to work with in designing and facilitating my home renovation. She had an exceptional eye for detail and ensured everything was finished to the highest quality. Felt very comforted knowing she was always a phone call away and nothing was too difficult for her to follow up. Couldn't be happier with the end result, thank you!

Our home on the Mornington Peninsula was a bit tired and in need of a new lease on life, A mix of styles from a bygone era but with wonderful bay and city views
We engaged Alishia from Minett studio to see what was possible.
From our first meeting Alishia made us feel comfortable and confident about our potential journey together, we felt more like family than strangers.
Alishia asked us some questions, took on board our wants and needs and with her experience and ideas Alishia was able to present to us some fabulous designs. My wife and I ultimately settled on a wonderful contemporary design which had all our hopes and dreams.
We could not be happier with the outcome of the design stage
We highly recommend Alishia to anybody setting out on a similar journey.
Thank you Alishia we feel safe in your hands and cannot wait for the next stage

We have been working closely with Alishia from Minett Studio Architects on the design of some beautiful and hopefully award winning timber flooring projects. Everything has been clear from every aspect, from the design of the project to the colour, dimensions and the space we are working with. Thank you Minett Studios and hopefully we can continue to work on all your magnificent projects.

I worked with Alishia as a photographer to capture the feel of the Minett Studio interiors. Alishia is a true professional in her field and this is evident in each of the rooms photographed. Accent pieces, detail, quality and greenery all working together beautifully.
Alishia is a delight to work with and I highly recommend her and Minett Studio for collaborations.

We engaged Minett Studio to undertake a complete renovation to a 90’s cream brick unit. This involved knocking out walls and completely changing the layout. Alishia had great ideas and was really innovative with using spaces for different activities and getting the most out of the spaces. We had a tight budget and Alishia sourced great products within our budget and even passed on her trade discounts. We would highly recommend Minett Studio for your projects, they are highly professional and very clever with their design solutions. Everyone who comes to the house is very impressed by the transformation.

Alishia of Minett Studios has been a godsend for our renovation project in Parkdale. From the very beginning she has been professional with a great eye for detail. Trust and communication are very important to us and Alishia is constantly keeping us informed of progress, ideas, or any changes to plans. We would highly recommend Minett Studios and are loving our newly renovated home.

We wanted to renovate our kitchen (too small) and our living areas (too big). Alishia came recommended by a work colleague. She gave us three proposed layouts, one of which was exactly what we didn't know we wanted. Her design moved the dining room into one of the redundant living rooms, and expanded the kitchen into the former dining area, giving us a butler's pantry and much more cupboard space. Alishia also managed the project; her firmness with the builder about the quality of the workmanship was both necessary and appreciated. Thanks for our new kitchen, Alishia!

My wife and I live in Singapore, and taking on the task of designing and building a house on the Mornington peninsula in Melbourne was always going to be challenging given the distance and the fact we wanted to be closely involved. Engaging Minett Studio has been a terrific decision as not only are we happy with the architecture, but Alishia has seamlessly managed all the interconnecting parts for us – engineers, planning authorities, builders and suppliers. Her skill lies in understanding what each player needs, and designing right solutions on the first attempt. We’re delighted with her expertise and service.

Minett Studio did a fantastic job designing storage solutions for our home. They were very professional and the end result was amazing. We have so much more storage space now and it looks seem less. We get so many compliments on their work. We highly recommend them.

Thank you for the lovely review. The project was amazing and we loved working on it with you and finding bespoke pieces to integrate into the design such as Japanese temple doors etc. It certainly deserved to be an award-winning house. Best Regards Alishia
