Sustainable Design Services in Ballarat, Victoria

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“I was very happy with Alex from Sulex. He did a great job on our large extention, gave us good solid advice and turned up on time. Alex was polite and more than a year later everything is working well. I would highly recommend Sulex for large and small jobs. Lisa McIver”

“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.”

“Edmund is an absolute professional. His knowledge covers all facets of building and design. He will listen to your idea then advise and plan. His service includes dealing with the local council to obtain permits, full house design and management of the construction process. Very happy to refer my clients to IO architecture”

“I have commissioned Studio MK to redesign and refurbish my ensuite bathroom. it was a small bathroom. The bief was to make more spacious. I knew Marina, the architect behind Studio MK for having worked with her as a photographer to shoot one of her recent realisations (the book shop Scrumptious Reads). I knew she was extremely creative and coud think out of the box. She came up with a very creative idea - replacing a wall with recycled louvres, painted in white. This allowed more natural light and ventilation while it made us gain some 10 precious cm of floor space. Then she laid glass on two wall to increase the impression of space, used 12v LED lines and changed the sliding doors of the shower to allow a better, les constrained access. It wasn't a small job as a wall had to be taken off and some of the ceiling open. But she conducted the works with a minimum disruption to the neighbours while I was away on a photo assignment in Asia. The transformation of the bathroom is an asset to the unit. I can rent it out now when I travelled above the average market price. I would be totally unable to achieve such a result without the help of an architect. The value added is obvious.”

“I have collaborated with Steven from SJ Bishop Architect on a number of projects now, and I have always found him to be highly professional and easy to work with. His vast knowledge of design principles, building materials and construction techniques, and sustainable architecture allow him to give clients a full range of options through out the design and construction process. I have no hesitation in recommending him to work on any architectural projects in the future. Melissa”

“All design aspects were carefully worked through and considered. Some very creative suggestions and the final product was very much a joint venture. Workmanship was first class. Any requests or adjustments have been attended to promptly.”
