The team at Mesh brought our extension ideas to life. Matthew and Ben designed a modern extension with unique architectural elements, creating a new chapter for our art deco home. Always a pleasure to work with, Mesh were accommodating of our ideas whilst always keeping our budget and building design best practice front-of-mind.
Not surprisingly, when we mentioned Mesh to suppliers and contractors, they always complimented their professionalism.
Thank you Mesh for designing a home we absolutely love!

Matthew designed our living, kitchen and bathroom areas. Matt immediately understood what we were aiming to achieve and and worked with us to design something that would fit our needs. The process was straightforward and Matt and Ben were there every step of the way through council, engineering through to finalising our builder.
We are looking forward to moving into our newly renovated home in November!

Matthew, it was such a great experience to work with you and Ben and we are so pleased with the end result. I now have a study space downstairs and the sun is beautiful there in the morning so, since we're all at home at the moment, the kids tend to hang out there with me. Everyone uses the kitchen space all day long because the light is always lovely and the pantry is the busiest room, most useful space. We also spill out onto the patio all the time, particularly for an afternoon gin and that patio is so much bonus space that you found for us, that we never knew we could have and it doubles the size of the kitchen both visually and practically.
We didn’t use the lounge room much in the warmer weather, but as things cool down I’ve noticed that this is the family gathering place in the evenings. We’ve had the open fire going these last couple of nights, and it’s been really lovely. The laundry is great too, really practical and very stylish, and we’ve included some ‘cubbies’ in there for the kids school bags etc in the cabinetry, which is also a favourite feature of mine.
I can rave all day long, but basically my message is good, well designed, thoughtful spaces improve the way you live your life, and given we are in this house, this home , this place all day every day, it has never been more true. I am grateful for your work, your care and ability to listen to what it was that our lives required.

Extremely helpful, considerate and cared for the outcome. Would take the time to understand your key drivers and would provide assistance to help find the right people/consultants for other aspects of the project. They provided guidance of things to consider before they needed to so that you had time to prepare your thinking and they would go that little bit extra to help where problems or challenges arose. This was the second design team I had on my project, which was not a easy project and it was chalk and cheese between the two consultants. Would have much preferred to have started with Mesh!

Matt, Sean and Ben helped to design a new kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and master bedroom with en-suite. The design process was straightforward, communication was excellent, and Matt was always happy to accomodate any ideas or changes we wanted. Most importantly for us the final design realistically reflected our budget. I couldn’t recommend Matt highly enough and if the need arises would engage him again for design services.

We highly recommend Matthew and his team at Mesh Design Projects. We originally had an idea of how we thought we wanted our house renovation and extension to be, but Matt's expert knowledge of space, design and usability, meant the alternatives and additions he suggested allowed the final design to capture our ideas, but enhance it both beautifully and practically.
Design consultations were always enjoyable, and communication was spot on.
The idea of a renovation was a pretty daunting task, but Matt made this a very easy experience for us; both in the design stages, but also in the not so fun parts of the works (council permits/engineering/surveying etc). Thanks again Matt and team. Amazing work!

i used Matt & Ben at Mesh designs on a referral from a friend. We could not have been happier with their design. We thought we knew the layout we wanted but in our first meeting Matt suggested an alternative idea., which we ended up going with. They were more than happy to accommodate our endless tweaks & are now well into the build and its looking spectacular. The builder has also commented that they are the best & most comprehensive set of plans he has come across. Would highly recommend

Matthew and his team were fantastic right from the word go, during the journey and handing over a brilliant project.
Their design is first class, the working drawings were extremely well thought out and very professional and aided all our trades extremely well throughout the build.
Their contacts and recommendations were well received also.
Thank you MESH, you made the experience very enjoyable and a lot less stressful, always there tom help when called upon, and the final product is truly amazing.

Mesh Design Projects were exceptional in their knowledge, creativity and professionalism. They sought to completely understand the vision of the project from our point of view and subsequently were able to design an extension and renovation maximising the available space, resulting in a home we now love to live in!

Matt and his staff have a great understanding of the build process, making the construction phase easier for everyone involved, without any surprises.
Importantly the team at MESH are approachable and clear communicators who are always happy to discuss the different elements of the build and provide feedback.
My Building company TITLE Building Projects are involved with several designers across Melbourne and I have no hesitation in stating that MESH are a step above the rest.

Matt was so patient with us and all our indecision and mind-changing. We are thrilled with our extension. Matt's design has simplicity and style that gives us the light and space we needed. One of the builders we dealt with told us he loved to work on Matt's designs because they 'just made sense'. Can't get much higher praise than that!

We engaged Mesh Designs to help us to redesign an existing double garage which was becoming overcrowded and dysfunctional. Matthew came up with a series of ideas and was able to think outside the box to help us see the potential of the space. The end result has really changed the way the back of our block works. It's popular with our kids, has worked as an entertaining space and will no doubt evolve further as our family grows up. Matthew is engaging and thoughtful throughout the design process and is well linked to builders and other professionals to make the job happen. Many thanks!

Matt from Mesh Design was recommended to me by a kitchen renovation company that I know and trust. They spoke very highly of Matt and, after working with him, I understand why. Matt was terrific to work with from the very first consultation. His advice and expertise made planning our extension easy, and his knowledge of planning laws and council requirements made the process as smooth as it could be. Matt was also patient with us while we worked out our requirements and considered our options, which made him feel like a trusted friend! I highly recommend Matt and Mesh Design to anyone considering a home revamp.

Matt and the Mesh team were fantastic to work with and I definitely recommend them. When Matt first came around to talk to us about our renovation/extension, we thought we had a really clear idea of what we wanted. He took all of our information and produced three designs for us; one of our idea, and then two alternatives - both of which captured the essence of what we were trying to achieve but improved on our idea! Needless to say we went with one of his alternative designs...!
My advice is to ask lots of questions - they are really happy to provide advice and no question is silly!
A few other things about our experience with Mesh:
1. They were very responsive, always getting back to us inside a day or at worst the next day (either by phone, email or in person)
2. They took care of all the engineering, surveying, council permits etc that were required.
3. Matt gave us lots of good advice and ideas about things such as how we could plant out our garden to maximise and minimise sunlight and heat, options for solar
4. Mesh were very transparent from the start about costs, building estimates etc so we had a good idea early on how affordable our overall build would be.

I am so glad I chose Matthew from Mesh design. His knowledge and talent not only delivered us a functional and practical building but also an aesthetically pleasing and bespoke addition to our home. Matt was always professional, enthusiastic, responsive and focused on our needs and budget. He was a pleasure to deal with and I would happily recommend.

We recently engaged Mesh Design Projects to do the design for the renovation of our Victorian home. This was a substantial renovation that took over 10 months to complete the required works. Matthew was very easy to work with, very accommodating and although we we had set ideas about what we wanted he was able to enhance our vision and provide really good advice and suggestions along the way which meant a fantastic end result for our project. Matthew knew right from the start what we were trying to achieve so it made the process an enjoyable one where we could all worked together. I would recommend Mesh design without hesitation.

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.
