Building Designers in Swan Marsh, Victoria

“Very thorough service. Felt listened to. Achieved all our important goals in the design process. Very creative. Budget could have been controlled/guided along the initial creative process.”

“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.”

“From the initial discussions around design ideas and development of a concept Chris has listened to our input and developed a plan and finishes specification that has exceeded anything we could have hoped for. Chris has an ability to take thoughts and ideas and turn them into a building that sits beautifully on the land. Chris Steel Designs has delivered a building that is now an integral part of the community and streetscape of Edenhope. The Accommodation Complex provides Edenhope & District Memorial Hospital staff a place to feel at home and a place to be proud of. The rooms are full of light, are beautifully finished and provide comfort and privacy. The shared common areas are designed to bring people together to share stories or to have some quiet reflection if needed. The quality of the finishes and appliances are first class in the kitchen and design ideas like the Butler’s Pantry keep the area uncluttered and tidy. The Executive Residence has been designed for the use by the hospitals Doctor and provides first class accommodation directly opposite the Hospital facility. The same level of attention to detail and finish means we have a property that any Doctor would love to live in and gives the hospital a trump card when negotiating contracts. From the outset and during construction Chris has been open to suggestions and ideas from the builders to alter plans and develop on the fly design changes. Chris has provided detailed drawings when needed and worked hard to ensure the build was kept on time and on budget. The distance from Warnambool to Edenhope was never an issue and communication was a strong point of the Chris Steel Designs experience. The Edenhope & District Memorial Hospital Staff Accommodation Complex and Executive Residence build was a 2 million dollar project and it was imperative to the Hospital Board that we deliver the project on budget and in the timeframe set. Working with Chris Steel Designs and the builder we were able to achieve both these goals without compromise. At the official opening the community came together to view the building and the overwhelming comments were of how beautiful the building is. Edenhope & District Memorial Hospital are proud of our Accommodation Complex and look forward to it providing years of service to the staff who travel to serve the community of Edenhope. A huge thanks to Chris and his team for their brilliant communication, for their hard work, contemporary ideas and buildability of design. Thank you Andrew Saunders Edenhope& District Memorial Hospital”

“I have used Stewart Seaton as my project Architect on various projects for the past 15 years. I would give him the highest recommendation possible for his consistent high level of service. Even on our last project, which was in Portugal and Stewart was based in Australia it was essential that he was the Project Architect. Stewart was flexible with his time and traveled from Australia on numerous occasions to see the project through to completion recently. I would happily recommend Stewart as a project Architect who works with his clients and delivers exactly what the clients requested.”
