Custom Home Services in Paddington, New South Wales

“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.”

“A special part of Kate's magic is in seeing the possible. Ours was not a huge project - it involved turning our cute, two-bedroomed wooden cottage into a larger home where our kids could grow up and have room to study, and where we could entertain, with room for friends and family to stay. She's given us all that, with many fantastic touches that we love (as do all our friends), while still maintaining the cottage feel - although it's so much more spacious. Apart from her flair and vision, Kate's forte is listening. I think she's one part architect, one part designer, one part accountant and one part counsellor! While building a house is always a compromise between what you want and what you can afford, Kate quickly sorted out what we absolutely needed, advised us on what could wait, and helped us with fantastic suggestions to get the look we wanted while staying within our budget (the builders raved about the wooden boards lining the walls of our second bathroom and the wooden floor - we love it too!). She was there every step of the way: her pre-planning ensured we had all the necessary surveys done before we went to the council; we sailed through the council process because of the preparation she'd done (all the Is dotted and Ts crossed); and she was on hand any time the builders had a query. Having said that, her plans were so thorough that the builders loved her - she thought of everything. They had such a fantastic relationship that our build was a pleasure, not a stress - we were almost sorry when it ended (although we did have our lovely new house!). Our 'new' home feels like a natural extension of the little house we had before that we loved, and an extension of ourselves. We thank god for Kate every day - as we sit on our deck that she cleverly designed around our beautiful tree; as we open our fantastically huge pantry that she designed into a previously unused wall (this is one of my favourite features - with a pinboard on one side and chalkboard on the other. Love it!); as we look at the gorgeous green exterior she helped us choose, and the funky green 50s sink she helped us source. I recommend her to everyone I know who needs an architect - you won't regret it.”
