Building Design Services in Ballarat, Victoria

“My husband and I engaged Ammon to look at a health and fitness business multi-dwelling development in Hepburn Springs. Ammon was very thorough and challenged us to think about the site from multiple lenses and time frames. This not only enabled us to come to a better vision and plan for the site, but the process and further thinking about regenerative design also enriched our business plan. I would strongly recommend Ammon and Here Studio for anyone with an ethical conscious who is also looking to get the most out of their investment, for now and in the future.”

“We have used Ed for both of our renovations and have found him to be a great architect. For our first project we used Ed for both the design and the project management of a small renovation. We loved the design which dragged a 1970s monstrosity of a house (think lots of mission brown and wood panelling) right into the 21st Century. Tweaks that Ed made to layout just made the house 'work'. We were exceedingly happy with the result. Ed and his team worked tirelessly behind the scenes so that while we had the usual decisions to make, any of those problems that inevitably turn up on the site were solved before they hit our radar. Our second project was based in Sydney (see Ed's project titled 'Springfield' ) and although we spoke with some local architects we didn't get the same comfortable feeling as we had with Ed. Our second renovation was a major undertaking on a heritage listed house where there had been multiple renovations done in the past and little coherence. The floorplan had small spaces left over that had no practical use and the house was very tired. We extended but only by a small amount but again by rationalising the floorplan we have ended up with a much more usable space. The end result is a gorgeous home. This time I was the project manager but Ed and his team remained on call through-out for whenever my builder or I had any queries. What I love about Ed is that we have achieved a great balance between gorgeous design and practicality. The space looks fab but it is also easy to live in and we love that!”

“We chose Dylan not only because of his designs that caught our eye but mainly because of how comfortable we felt on our initial brief. He has been great to work with since the start of our project always doing that little bit extra and having time for us whenever we need. So excited with the progrees of our home, can not wait to move in!!!”

“We have been involved in two major residential projects with Eric, from Green Point Design, one a new build and the other a major renovation of a Victorian residence. As indicated by the fact we used Eric's services twice, we were extremely happy with both projects and in all our dealings with him and Green Point Design. He is an excellent communicator, as well as a good listener and unflappable in the face of change or challenges. He is both a creative and practical architect, committed to meeting the requirements of his clients and working alongside them in a partnership over the course of the project and beyond. His commitment to and knowledge of the environmental factors of building and design is immense and we are certainly reaping the rewards of a more sustainable house because of this. He was a pleasure to work with, always responding quickly to queries, unfailingly polite and respectful and a excellent working partner for builders and other professionals involved. I would recommend him highly.”

“My wife and I retained Paul's services to design and supervise construction of our new home. We gave Paul, we think, a demanding brief made more complex by stringent building covenants over the land, a restricted building envelope and an irregularly shaped Lot. We found Paul not only very talented and creative in designing a beautiful home, but also practical, personable and more than willing to work closely with us, the builder and trades to ensure a wonderful outcome for ourselves. He assisted in choice of fittings and the minutia of fit out and was always available and responsive. Paul designed us a beautiful home, which we admire daily, love living in and enjoy immeasurably.”

“In a time of great distress following a destructive bushfire at Wye River it was of enormous comfort to have Guy on my side . He has been supportive personally and professionally producing an excellent design for my replacement home keeping me informed and addressing the frequent difficulties arising from a difficult site and restrictive new regulations”

“Every day we find cause to enjoy our home and be thankful for the creative architecture and professional work of DE atelier - their design is innovative, functional and a retreat for peaceful living. Special features include raised walkway floating over a pond at the entrance, light-filled stairwell directing residents to lower level self contained living area, two bedrooms, study and bathroom. Upstairs the kitchen, living, balcony and master bedroom. Moving between the living and the bedroom features an internal bridge / walkway. The design enhances our privacy as we look out to a rural view, yet sheltered from the urban street.”

“Peter Vernon was brilliant. His imaginative design skills coupled with his pragmatic knowledge of the building process, meant we achieved budget without compromising aesthetics. Our home extension is beautiful and works practically also. It is in scale with the existing building and matches and elevates the existing style. We could never have achieved such a pleasing result without Peter's knowledge and guiding hand, We love living here!”

“Enduring Domain are project managers and designers of our new house, on a sloping country block with specific restrictions imposed by the water authorities. They have faced all challenges with imagination and humour and we are very much enjoying watching the project unfold. Having originally planned to design it ourselves, each time we see the clever design ideas included in this small structure we tell each other "that's why you need an architect". Highly recommended, especially for their concern for environmental sustainability and experience in :"green" building and design.”

“R A Catlin is a solid choice for drafting and other building consultancy services. Ron has years of experience and a broad network of contacts in the Ballarat Region, which is really helpful. Ron is generous with his time and with his knowledge and the quality of the drawing's he produces is very high, so that's great too.”
