Home Additions Services in Bayswater, Victoria

“We couldn't be happier and thoroughly recommend Alistairs' services. We contacted Alistair from Secret Design Studio to assist us in the renovation of our 1960's home in Sydney. We loved the mid century architectural merit of the home and were looking to retain and celebrate its character whilst creating a modern, family home. From the first conversation, we knew Alistair was exactly the person we needed. He is very passionate about MCM design and his knowledge and expertise is extensive. We are thrilled with his direction, advice and support throughout the process.”

“We engaged Darrin Albert from Sketch Building Design to design our family home renovation. Darrin came highly recommended and we were certainly not disappointed. Our vision was to develop a contemporary two storey addition to our Edwardian home. The design delivered and service provided exceeded our expectations. Darrin and the team were professional, enthusiastic, responsive and focused on our needs and budget. They were a pleasure to deal with and we would happily recommend.”

“We engaged GIA to undertake a renovation of several upstairs rooms into a master bedroom suite. All works were completed within 5 weeks to the highest standard. We concurrently asked GIA to build an outside, freestanding 40m2 bungalow built of brick (rendered and colourbond roofing. This also was built at the same time and was completed in 5 weeks. The standard of construction and workmanship was first rate and all subcontractors that entered our home were decent people that respected our privacy. I thoroughlly recommend GIA.”

“After talking to a number of architects Jane was best able to turn our brief into a clean contemporary modernist set of plans for our new home. Always conscious of our budget she kept us in check while ensuring the houses integrity and liveability was not compromised”

“PROJECT MARCH 2014 We have been absolutely delighted by the total experience associated with the design, implementation and in the end, the completion of our remarkable "Hill House”. A day doesn’t go by without a sense of contentment as I smile at some design feature that just makes “sense” or an aspect of how we enjoy living in this space and place – it just “works”! We were absolutely delighted with the experience of designing our house with Mihaly Slocombe. The project is true to the importance we place on environmental sustainability, aesthetics and the clever use of amenity. In the end, the integrity of the creative design is a source of enduring pleasure to us. UPDATED JULY 2016 As our family expanded to the next generation [of grandchildren], we decided to return to the Architects who designed our family home, to create a suitable extension. The brief had been to create something complimentary to the existing design, be playful, functional, environmentally efficient and still aesthetically compatible with the existing home. To our immense delight, despite the obvious challenges and complexity to meet all aspects of the brief, all our expectations were not only met – but superbly exceeded. The project was implemented with a deft efficiency and professionalism and remained on budget and true to brief. What more could we ask for? Whilst I can’t imagine a further extension being required – if it was, I know exactly where I’d go!”

“We used Eco Edge Architecture to design our dream home. We were looking for a home that met our needs for the long term. Kirsten is professional, friendly, capable. innovative and accommodating of our needs. The end product is a fantastic home with enduring style and is extremely livable.”

“My husband and I decided in our later years to build a new house and discovered Steve Drougas of Concept Studio through houzz. Concept Studio worked with us to create exactly the home that we envisioned, completely understanding our brief. This was a challenging job, as the space for the home was limited and Steve was able to include everything that we requested. He attended the site and assessed site conditions and constraints. Made initial inquiries regarding authority regulations and requirements. Provided recommendations for the appointment of other specialist consultants as required, including their fees. Steve Dougas is very easy to deal with, always contactable and sticks to deadlines. He listens to you as the homeowner and is respectful of your wishes, ideas and interests. He is not designing for himself – he is designing for you. He is knowledgeable and professional. His whole team is great to work with. Steve made what could have been a daunting process very easy and did it very quickly. We have no hesitation in recommending Concept Studio and would most certainly use them again ourselves.”

“Our renovation was completed on time, on budget and the quality of the work was excellent. Justin and his team were easy to work with and everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. They gave us ideas and options when we needed them so that we could make good decisions without any nasty surprises at the end. Even the neighbours were complimentary about their professionalism whilst on site. Our home has been completely transformed and everything looks so sturdy and that its been built to last.”

“I can strongly recommend First Avenue Homes. Anthony is a high quality builder and has the ability to make very complex tasks simple and completed our complicated renovation project in a timely manner and within budget. I will be going to First Avenue Home first for any renovation or construction project in the future. Thank you Anthony.”

“Matthew worked closely with us to design our new home. He listened to our brief, then came up with lots of great design ideas to create a smart, energy efficient home that will suit our young family lifestyle. We also think it looks great! We are very happy with the result and can't wait to move in.”
