We’ve used NSSTUDIO for refurbishment and addition of our house in Bondi. Nathalie and the team have listened to our brief and created a unique design to maximise the space and natural light. The DA approval went smoothly, and we have received approval from first submission, which was great. The team ensured that all aspect of the design was in line with Waverley Council requirements. We are very happy with the outcome and happy to recommend NSSTUDIO to our friends.

Nathalie was extremely professional and very helpful when working on our Mosman renovation. She was able to give us lots of guidance and options as we had never attempted a renovation before! She was always available at convenient times for meetings and to help with selections of fixtures and fittings. I would recommend NSStudio.

Nathalie worked with us to create a new space at the rear of our terrace and update two existing bathrooms, all within the restrictions of an existing DA. We couldn't be happier with Nathalie's final design which embraced our original ideas and then lifted them to another level. Nathalie has a wonderful attention to detail and a great knowledge base to draw from. She was wonderful to work with, patient and encouraging in equal measure. We would wholeheartedly recommend Nathalie as an architect for projects like ours.

Many, many thanks Nathalie for her help in renovating my heritage terrace. She is highly skilled, qualified and full of enthusiasm and energy. I had a good idea about what I wanted but Nathalie brought it all to life, always listened to me and has a wonderful eye for detail and great imagination. She took me from plans to DA to completion with care and precision. I was away for much of the work but had complete trust in her to oversee the build and she didn't let me down once, kept me informed and dealt with any issues quickly and professionally and now I have my lovely new home! Highly recommended.

Hi - we worked with Nathalie a few years ago to renovate our property in Stanmore. We had ideas on what we wanted to do and Nathalie complimented our ideas with her brilliant ideas. Nathalie was very easy to deal with and explained how the process worked, she was also able to suggest a fantastic builder which made the entire process seamless. Our unique property is now filled with natural light and is just the way we wanted it to be. We would definitely recommend Nathalie to anyone who was wanting to renovate and end up with a beautiful home. Our house even won a design award thanks to Nathalie's architectural expertise!

Nathalie did fabulous job in renovating my back room. She listened to what I wanted and delivered beyond what I could have imagined. My only hesitation in writing this review is that she will become so popular she won't have time to do the rest of my house next year. Thank you Nathalie, I could never have done it without you.

I have always found Nathalie to be completely professional in her whole approach to your job and that is how she views it, as giving you your vision. She will transform your ideas and thoughts into your home which she will do with a dedication to the highest levels of Quality with the best Value for money.

I engaged Nathalie and her team at NS Studio's to design and project manage the Development Approval process of a 10 unit Townhouse site in SW Sydney. The NS Studio team went above and beyond in terms of their communication with me, their design spec and their tenacious engagement with council! They have a high level of commerciality for a developer, understanding what product is right for the market and the numbers involved, to ensure viability of a project and maximising returns. Thanks Nathalie and the NS Studio team!

We were fortunate enough to work with Nathalie on the sale of two apartments which she had designed. Nathalie was a pleasure to work with. Her passion, drive and persistence was evident throughout the whole process. Every single detail was perfect and if something wasn't right she was there to adjust and fix what was needed. If you are looking for someone who will deliver what she promises and can provide a design like no other, give Nathalie a call from NSStudio, you wont regret it.

We have engaged Nathalie for our extension of a heritage property at Balmain. She has been very understanding of our time frames and worked with us on multiple changes. Nathalie has suggested changes to our ideas to design a superior extension. She has assisted with the interior design to maximise the links between old and new. I would highly recommend NS studio.

The obstacle of a heritage facade proved no issue as Nathalie managed to exceed our expectations and appease the council. Our nice house would finally become our desired home! Thank you so much.

NSStudio designed a stunning Granny Flat for our rear garden. They understood our requirements and price limitations and helped us plan using products which were attractive, practical and affordable. They dealt with onerous council demands on our behalf and supported us when at any stage when we felt challenged by the planning process. We worked through any problems we encountered with a minimum of fuss. I would highly recommend NSStudio's services.

Been a professional architectural photographer for over 15 years, I've photographed for many architects, Nathalie the director of NS Studios is certainly one the easiest to work with. What's a great sign to me is that her clients seem to still maintain a great relationship with her even years after a project has been completed. That's defiantly proof to me that she understands the client's needs and delivers what she says she will. - Justin Mackintosh, Mackintosh Photography Sydney.

We hired NSStudio to undertake an extensive renovation. Nathalie was very responsive to our needs and wants and creatively designed a beautiful and functional space. The budget was blown because we went for quality. Deadlines were met as best as possible given the surprises that pop up in older homes. Nathalie managed the project which made our role so easy as she maintained a respectful and joyful relationship with both us and the builders.

We hired Nathalie to redesign the rear section of our home, a semidetached Victorian residence. The project involved the demolition of kitchen, bathroom, laundry and living which was replaced by a two story addition of kitchen, bathroom (x2), bedroom, laundry and living. Nathalie's beautiful design ideas and collaborative approach resulted in a bright, stylish, spacious home. We engaged Nathalie to project manage the build which was the best decision. Nathalie's attention to detail, knowledge of product and design, and determination to achieve the best result for us, never waned. When we were exhausted, struggling to make decisions at the end, Nathalie was always there for us. I would not hesitate in recommending Nathalie and her team.

I had a pleasure to photograph Earlwood and Stanmore houses for NSStudio. The projects were stunning modern extensions of the heritage homes. Both had an incredible sense of space and light. Coming from interior design background i did admire Natalie’s creativity and contemporary design especially incorporating large windows and skylights. Moreover, Natalie is very professional and so lovely to work with.

I engaged Nathalie to add a rear extension on the back of my house, this included a bathroom and an extra living area, leading out to my garden. Her expertise in creating this extension was done tastefully to create a bight and open space that is extremely liveable. I would recommend her services, as her team are helpful and professional.

We used the services of Nathalie and her team at NS Studio for a large renovation/re-build. Nathalie had some great design ideas that were not even on our radar and we now have a fantastic newly renovated home with amazing architectural designs that provide a real wow factor while still keeping features of the original heritage of our terrace. We would highly recommend Nathalie and her team.

Nathalie and her team are consummate professionals. I wanted to modernise my house and Natalie came in with her team and changed a dark out-dated space into a fresh modern liveable environment, which full of light and striking features. Builders and contractors alike were courteous and caring. We were kept in the loop at all times and the end result is beautiful.
