anderson architecture

Sydney Architects

17January,2018

“We found Anderson Architecture a pleasure to work with. They worked with us to create a home that felt personal and at the same time, so much better than what we imagined. I can't recommend them highly enough - and I do recommend them all the tie to any family or friends thinking of renovating.”

Architelle Architecture & Interior Design

Sydney Architects

5March,2016

“We engaged Margaret Skilbeck to help us with a major renovation and extension of our family home in Warrawee. Architelle was recommended by a local builder who gave us the names of a few architects that work in the Area. He told me Margeret Skilbeck was conversant with Kuringai council regulations and her turnaround time in submitting work was also good. We were very happy with the design and final result. One of the best things we did was engage Margeret to supervise the building project which included weekly site meetings. it took away a lot of the stress involved in building work. She gave us very good advise along the way and helped in choosing materials and fittings. She was professional, capable, efficient and very pleasant and we have no hesitation in recommending Her. She was able to work well with the builders & coordinate the other professionals. Her fees were reasonable and good value.”

George Banks Architecture

Sydney Architects

9March,2021

“George is an amazing architect with vision and balance. He is knowledgeable, personable and able to explain the jargon of the process in a clear and concise way. George takes time to listen to the client, develop ideas and direction together, and then responds in a timely way. He has great listening skills and an amazing ability to interpret our ideas and bring them to life. No request is too difficult with George!!”

archer design

Sydney Architects

9August,2018

“In 2014 my wife and I employed Archer Design to come up with ideas for a major architectural and interior design upgrade to our home. Their ideas blew us away and they transformed what was a dated, poorly laid out 1970’s house into our dream home. We could not be happier! Richard and his team quickly understood what we wanted and ticked every box on our extensive brief. The result was a family home perfectly tailored to our needs. Their attention to detail was impeccable and their planning ideas truly above and beyond our expectations. Not only did Archer Design do the architecture and interiors but also helped us select new furniture, window coverings and art work which completed the home, and really understood our taste and our budget. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with and made the whole process a breeze, which was key for a busy family like ours. We have been living in our home for 4 years now and wouldn’t change a thing.”

Nimbus Architecture and Heritage

Sydney Architects

19August,2020

“Our recent renovation has improved our home significantly, the 3 new skylights and sitting nooks bringing welcome sunlight and warmth into our kitchen, living room and dining room. Nimbus took the time to listen to our needs, incorporating our ideas to create the perfect space for family and friends to come together.”

TDDP architects

Sydney Architects

31July,2016

“We have been working with TDDP over the last 10 months to design our new home. Our brief was to renovate our house and extend it to cater for a family of 4 with 2 teenage children. From our initial discussions, it was evident that Victoria well understood our needs and what a family home requires in terms of functionality and comfort. Throughout the design process, she asked the right questions and proposed solutions, which would achieve a balance between our desired outcomes and budget constraints. Unlike other architects that we met as part of our selection process, Victoria does not impose a ready-made architectural vision but rather puts her Customer brief and vision at the centre of the project. What we particularly appreciate is her availability and responsiveness, which has made the last few months a lot easier for us. We look forward to continuing through the next phases of our project with TDDP.”

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.”

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.”

“Mars worked for us through all the challenges with DA process for our extensive renovation project and was always accessible, responsive and forthcoming with great ideas and solutions.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Sydney also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

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.
