Architectural Design Services in Brisbane, Queensland

“We hired Home Design+ to design and build our dream home in 2012. Overall our experience was very positive. We knew what we wanted in terms of layout , building size and the quality of the fittings so this was never going to be a simple "tick and flick" operation. Where Home Design+ really came into their own was taking this information and translating it into a beautiful workable design. We spent nearly 12 months in the planning of this build. The execution phase of this project took about 14 weeks. There were no real problems once construction started. All of our issues were back in the planning stage {which is where they should be!}. We had researched and selected a particular type of glass to be used for the windows and sliding doors. However, it was from a manufacturer not normally used by Home Design+. The preliminary house framing plan had already been drawn using different window sizes to ours. Consequently, when we presented our selection, it was met with a firm but polite "no". This was not the only incidence of preferred supplier status getting in the way of quality. We quickly learned to hold our ground. The price of quality is price and the overall cost of the build was much more than we were expecting. By the same token the house that was delivered was also much more than we were expecting.”

“Lachlan has provided advice to me and offered quality design options on a variety of different projects. He has recently helped me refurbish a set of units down on the Gold Coast. His design has delivered a more contemporary appeal to the property and at the same time has provided a solution which complements the existing building. Hieis reliable and easy to work with and would recommend his services.”

“Doug and Kila from mystoryco. have been nothing short of phenomenal during our recent renovations. We are still pinching ourselves everyday on how stunning everything looks. The quality of the work they did to our mid 80's home is amazing and literally life-changing for us. Doug and Kila are very passionate about their work and during this process were always very professional, punctual (arriving when they said they would - which is very refreshing), very approachable and they gave us the support, guidance and reassurance we needed along the way. We felt they literally lived and breathed our project and were genuinely excited for us to move back into our "new" home. Kila was always super patient with all our ideas and questions given it was such a busy time for them and for the industry itself. There were so many added little personal touches along the way and these things don't go unnoticed by us and very much appreciated. (Including the Laundry spruce up which wasn't on the scope of works.) If you are looking for a Builder and Designer with integrity and who will go the extra mile - we highly recommend Doug and Kila. Dale and Kerry”

“Oliver had a very good understanding of the lifestyle we were attempting to achieve with our renovation and the budgetary constraints of the project. He listened carefully to our ideas and, importantly, also challenged us to consider alternatives. He had great respect for the integrity of our existing Queenslander (C. 1920s) and developed plans that paid tribute to the original character features of the home whilst incorporating new, contemporary spaces that seamlessly blend modern with old. He is a good communicator and made the design and construction process quite seamless. We are thrilled with the final outcome.”

“Nives created a beautiful design for the renovation and extension of our home in Paddington. Her knowledge and experience has allowed us have a finished design which will lead to a lovely spacious home for our family to enjoy. Due to budgetary and timing constraints (arrival of our 3rd child), we had to split our project into 2 stages. The first stage was the addition of a much needed large rear deck and re-configuration of the front entrance to our house - both of which have completely changed how we live in our home. The second stage of our project, which we hope to start this year, will be to raise the existing house, creating a parents' retreat, family living and dining areas flowing to the deck, and building 3 bedrooms, lounge, bathroom and laundry space downstairs on a new level. We are really looking forward to this next stage! We would strongly recommend Nives. We hired her after seeing the finished products of other projects she worked on for friends - and we will certainly use her again with our next project.”

“I thoroughly recommend Evan and his team at Focus Architecture. Evan took the time to listen to our needs and delivered a product which reflected our budgetary and functional requirements. During the course of our project our vision changed a number of times. Evan responded with flexibility and patience and worked closely with us to achieve our outcomes. Evan provides a very personal service and he will take the time to listen to you and provide feedback and problem solving without being patronising. We are already planning for Evan to design our next project which will be our forever home in the Lockyer Valley.”

“Our new house will be ready to move into in around a month. As I know nothing about building, Tania was really the best architect we could have chosen. Not only did she design a delightfully bright and environmentally sound building according to a budget, but she walked us through the process with joy and enthusiasm, and might I say - nurturing. She appreciates space in detail, and is able to convey and help her clients visualise the 3D completion. The most amazing thing about this build was her attention to detail prior to starting the build - every architectural item was chosen and quoted. We truly believe her detailed drawings and procedures were responsible for the complete lack of agony and stress we have felt during the build.”

“Having known Charles professionally for 4 years, we recently requested the use of his stunningly designed property for a professional photo shoot for our upcoming advertisment in the lastest Queensland Homes Magazine. I am proud to be an associate and to recommend Charles and CDI Architects to prospective clients looking for superb and divine designs.”

“The Refresh Renovations team are a pleasure to deal with! They are knowledgeable, clear with communication and prompt. Highly recommend for anyone needing assistance with their next renovation!”

“Pete Taylor from Taylor'd Distinction is an absolute professional, extremely easy to deal with, has great ideas & delivers amazing results. We gave Pete our wish list, an A4 page of things we'd like in our new home ( but had no idea what the final design would look like!) & he created concept drawings for our dream home. Every step of the way Pete was helpful, patient & full of suggestions but more than happy to listen to our thoughts. The results... An amazing design, totally unique & absolutely what we wanted!”
