Hampshire Design

We had no hesitation in rating Annaleisa's work as excellent. Our project was a major renovation to a terrace and a new-build garage with self contained studio above. We knew how important it was to find the right combination of professionalism, design flair, knowledge of council processes, a keen eye for detail, and a pragmatic approach to our budget. We interviewed three designers/architects before selecting Annaleisa who it was clear from the outset met our requirements. What came as a delightful "extra" was just how easy Annaleisa was to work with, responsive to our input and utterly reliable. Even after her contract was formally completed, Annaleisa provided advice to the builder on interpreting the council's requirements. With thanks Sheena and Steve

We were first time renovators and hired Annaleisa to guide us through the minefield that is designing and planning a medium sized house renovation. Annaleisa's professional, friendly and easy to understand approach to building design has made the whole journey easier than we expected. She has a great understanding of the building process and went out of her way to get our design ideas through the red tape of DA approval. We would hire her again for any further renovations.

If you are looking for a building designer who really listens to your ideas and needs, someone who is fully informed about council development planning and approval processes, someone who can work creatively within limitations of site, space and budget, then I would highly recommend Annaleisa Hampshire of Hampshire Design. Annaleisa worked with us to develop a DA which achieved all our aims, and proactively addressed questions which Council and building certifier may raise. Her work is very detailed, clearly presented and excellent value for money. Mike (Kingsford)

We were in two minds about whether to extend for more space or just move to a bigger property. After interviewing various architects and designers, we were so glad to come across Hampshire Design. Annaleisa completely redesigned our house to make it so much more livable for us and our family. Now we have that extra bedroom, extra living room and extra bathroom that we’ve been needing (without having to move neighbourhoods) – and a renovated kitchen!

REVIEW: Annaleisa was a great choice when we decided to renovate and extend our semi in Bronte. She respected our brief and then improved on it. Managing the whole council and DA process, saved us time we didn’t have. Now we can happily see out the next 20 years in a home that was getting scarily small for our bourgeoning family! PROJECT DATE: February 2015 PROJECT PRICE: $400,000

Annaleisa Hampshire is a true professional. She listened to our brief, gave sound advice and was completely transparent about costings. She understood our family needs providing us with a design that surpassed our expectations. Her knowledge, industry relationships and management skills have resulted in us having a home that we truly love. I can't recommend Annaleisa highly enough, she is wonderful.
