Architectural Design Services in Reservoir, Victoria

“We could not recommend Mihaly Slocombe more highly. From the beginning, their design process was clear, structured and easy to understand. Everything felt upfront: what would happen, how decisions would be made, what our role was, and what their role was. That clarity made the whole process feel calm, collaborative and trustworthy. What they did exceptionally well was act as the interface between us as clients — people with strong ideas, feelings and hopes for the house — and the actual discipline of architecture. As clients, it is easy to come in with fragments: “we want this material,” “we want this kind of bathroom,” “we want the house to feel like this.” Their gift was that they listened carefully to all of that, understood the underlying experience we were trying to create, and then turned it into architecture. The relationship felt genuinely collaborative. We could ask questions at every stage. We felt heard, but we also felt guided. There was real trust in the process, and that trust was rewarded again and again. They kept an eye on the prize, protected the quality of the design, and were deep advocates for the house throughout the process. The end result is fantastic. It is not just a beautiful object - though it is certainly that - It is a space that creates the conditions for experience to happen: family life, quiet, light, movement, rest, beauty, and a sense of being held by the building. Because of their work, we now have something that feels as though it will outlast all of us. A truly beautiful house, and a wonderful architectural relationship from beginning to end. Five stars without hesitation.”

“We engaged Quadrant Design in December 23 to help design a better indoor / outdoor flow for our property. Tony helped us define what would suit our lifestyle best, drew up detailed plans and helped us through the council permit and builder selection process. We are extremely happy with the outcome. We would recommend them to our family and friends.”
