Featured Reviews for Sydney Architects

Darren Campbell Architect

Sydney Architects

12March,2016

“Darren is an absolute pleasure to work with and is an architect that listens to the clients requirements and then adds all the style and creativity that only an excellent architect can do. His ability to work through complex details and his knowledge of building materials and construction generally is brilliant and we love working with him. He has now designed numerous homes for us and we have recommended him to many of our friends and associates all of which have been delighted in what he has created for them.”

Archinspect Architecture

Sydney Architects

13February,2019

“Mr Greg Neilson was recommended to me and I would highly recommend him and his services. We had a early 1900’s weatherboard house which was in serious decay, with his guidance and design we restored the original part of the property and substantially extended the house into a modern, user friendly home. He was not deterred when we were after changes, tweeks, to the design. Extremely helpful and even more important, we were on budget. His negotiating skills with the local council came in very handy as well.”

CHROFI

Sydney Architects

10March,2019

“I have just completed the build on a residential project with Chrofi. Our family home in Balmoral. The minimalist design is more than I could have hoped for. Chrofi have created a simple yet sophisticated home that is uncomplicated and able to stand alone without needing unnecessary ornamentation. I entrusted Chrofi with free design scope to present the best possible solution for the difficult site without any limitations (apart from the budget). And I am so glad, as the house is full of light and space. They designed a house that is settled into the landscape in a way that other architects had not considered. And it's precisely that careful consideration that allows the house to work so well. It's a house that slowly unfolds itself to you. It really does feel like a work of art, it has a meditative quality. It's intimate, but with a sense of space. It's restrained, but detailed and finished to a very high standard. As you move through the house you are immersed in a sense of calm. And that calm comes from the well designed spaces using constrained and complementary materials. It's the perfect retreat away from the activity at the beach below.”

McNally Architects

Sydney Architects

26August,2019

“McNally Architects assisted with the renovation of our apartment. I knew what I wanted but they brought to life my ideas adding some great architectural features and took the design to the next level. They were very professional, prompt and delivered the project on time and on budget. I would recommend this company and have already engaged them on an additional project.”

CplusC Architectural Workshop

Sydney Architects

26March,2013

“There are many reasons why we are glad we chose CplusC over other architects. Firstly, their natural and balanced aesthetic strongly appeals to us and we are genuinely pleased and impressed with the quality of the construction of our home. Secondly, and as importantly, CplusC are both designers and builders. This has the advantage of avoiding disagreements between architects and builders, which meant a less difficult building process and minimises the unexpected costs that inevitably arise. Thirdly, CplusC are environmentally clever designers and builders: they design to minimise wasted construction materials; and their design and the materials they used means our ongoing expenses are reduced (we only need to turn the heater on for three or so weeks in the year, and don't use air conditioning, instead enjoying cross-breezes). CplusC have built us a beautiful home that our children will grow up in and we are happy to recommend them.”

David Baillie Architect

Sydney Architects

1August,2016

“I am the builder responsible for David's projects in Mosman and Naremburn and having spent some time working with him I think I can safely say that he is one the best architects I have worked with. His approach is very team focussed which means that as problems arise they are discussed and dealt with promptly, always in consultation with the client. His emphasis on environmental solutions means that the projects are always energy efficient and well thought out and his demeanour is always upbeat and positive. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking to complete a renovation or extension of their home. Neil Elleson Ellipse Building.”

Zugai Strudwick Architects

Sydney Architects

8November,2013

“As a builder that has constructed several projects for ZSA, I can highly recommend their architectural services. Their designs and working drawings are always thoroughly though out making the building process efficient and effective. ZSA have a firm understanding of the cost of building which sets them apart from the rest. They have excellent spacial awareness and knowledge of construction which is critical to a good design. Every client that I have shared with ZSA (more than 10) would highly recommend their services.”

team-b architecture and design

Sydney Architects

20November,2013

“Team B is a leading professional architecture and design company, Karl has designed many award winning projects and I have been lucky enough to build a handful of them over the years. Their professional attitude, attention to detail, customer focus and award winning design make my job easy. Without any reservation I recommend them to clients who need a fresh and exciting design solution for their home.”

Justin Loe Architects

Sydney Architects

1April,2013

“I had a great experience with Bayview design group. Justin Loe took the time to understand how we would use the property and designed a house that is both functional and beautiful. Justin added value at every stage of the process and I couldn't be happier with the end result.”

The Site Foreman

Sydney Architects

14January,2016

“Never have I been so pleased to engage a professional service as I have done on this occasion. My interaction with The Site Foreman began with a hand shake and that has set the tone from the very first interaction. I respect and use the concept of 'straight talk' and once the team became aware of my style all discussions have been frank, open and honest - the only way to conduct business in my opinion. Please do not read into this negative robust discussion but rather read that this has been a journey of respect, communication, listening and my learning about how to go about such a project of a knock down rebuild. (I don't yet have photos, but when I do, they will be posted for sure.) We are yet to get this project complete but I have no doubt that if the journey that we have had thus far is how our build is going to progress, then I believe that I have made new friends and not just conducted a business transaction. I have recommended TSF to a colleague and he has engaged this professional group also. Thoroughly recommend The Site foreman to anyone seeking to build or renovate. It will be an experience, but if you listen to the advice, heed any warnings and be prepared to learn why and not close of your options that may be suggested, it will be a positive experience and you will get a good outcome.”

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Sydney who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?

An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Sydney, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Sydney locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Sydney architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire New South Wales subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.

Would you say your work has a defining style? (The architect's personal style could interfere with your vision.)

What do you estimate the cost will be?

What will I need to provide?
