Site Specific Designs

We are knocking down our current home in North Manly and rebuilding with a modest 3 bedroom home. We reached out to Sheralee from Site Specific designs to help with the initial design all the way through to obtaining final Council approval. While we already had a pretty good idea on what we wanted in the design of the new house, we also wanted an architect to critique, point out any potential issues and come up with suggestions on design aspects we may not have considered. We also had a tight budget to work with. Sheralee was a great in quickly understanding our thoughts around the initial design and our budget constraints. She came up with a number of amendments and improvements to help finalise the design and recommend finishes and products. The end result is (we think) a fantastic design! Sheralee has also been wonderful in assisting us through the process of obtaining final Council approval and selecting a builder. With demo of the old house due in early March 2021 we are excited and looking forward to the next 12 months as the design becomes reality. We highly recommend Sheralee.

Sheralee from Site Specific Designs has worked on three projects with me over the past 10 years. I have always enjoyed working with her and have loved the finished designs. I am so lucky my builder recommended her to me. Nothing ever seems to be a problem. She quickly and easily overcomes any issue that may arise by making slight tweaks and changes so everything complies, and everyone is happy. She has the ability to take what seems to be a complex issue and solve it with logic and ease. Her building knowledge combined with her architectural eye allow her to design taking into account the cost and practicality.

We really enjoyed working with Sheralee. She was always efficient and professional. She could easily understand our needs and made intelligent suggestions. She also suggested excellent builders, one of which we are using at the moment. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

We worked with Site Specific Designs for our extension and additions to our home in North Manly. From the outset, we felt that Sheralee had a good grasp of our brief and worked to deliver the most appropriate solution. Throughout the process, Sheralee was able to provide advice at each stage of the pre-build stage, which was very helpful for us as we've not undertaken a project of this scale previously. Furthermore, she available to consult on any issues that popped up and provided input when necessary. The outcome was just the best. Our brief was that we wanted light, air and space - each of which we've got in spades! I've already recommended Site Specific Designs to a number of friends and would be happy to do so again.

Sheralee was involved in the design of our full house renovation and extension from DA concept stage through to completion. Sheralee's genuine interest in what we were trying to achieve, knowledge of local authority requirements and a great eye for detail all resulted in a result that we could not be happier with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sheralee to anyone else embarking on a similar project.

Site Specific Designs more, specifically Sheralee Hogan, offers inspiring ideas for design and the building of your new home or renovation. Sheralee designed our pool and outdoor kitchen / garden area, and other areas in our house and a carport. We are very happy with the renovation and her builder ‘ luxury Building Group Pty Ltd.’ I have had no hesitation in recommending Site Specific Designs and Luxury Building Group to friends and acquaintances

Sheralee Hogan of Site Specific Designs designed our home for us a few years ago now and we still couldn't be any happier with the results. Sher was always responsive and a pleasure to deal with at all times. The project came in on time and on budget and was an incredibly smooth experience. Sher's knowledge of solar passive design enabled us to make the most of our north easterly aspect and cooling sea breezes so much so that there was no need for airconditioning during summer and the house stays beautifully warm in winter too. I can't recommend Sher and Site Specific Designs highly enough.

My husband and I hired Site Specific Designs to completely redesign our Townhouse in Mona Vale, NSW including the Kitchen, Lounge, Dining, Laundry & Entrance areas. Sheralee was terrific to work with, she patiently collaborated with us to transform our requirements and wish list into an inspired and detailed specification. Sheralee's vision and creativity resulted in an exceptional design that surpassed our expectations. Sheralee worked very closely with our Builder/Contractor to answer questions, resolve issues and to ensure the plan was properly executed. We have no hesitation in recommending Site Specific Designs to potential clients.

We were absolutely thrilled with our experience with Site Specific Designs. From the first meeting with Sheralee she understood exactly what we were hoping to create. She exceeded our expectations with her design ideas & we were delighted that they were achievable within our budget. Sheralee was extremely knowledgeable on all areas of the building process and was willing to go the extra mile to help us out and meet our deadlines.

I have worked with Site Specific design over the the past 7 years and have found that my clients and I are extremely happy with her professionalism, practical designs and over all service. I can highly recommend Sheralee as an architect for your next project. Brett StepUP Constructions

I would highly recommend Sheralee. Not only is she an amazing architect, she is also a very good listener and very patient. She took the time to get to know us and to truly understand what we were looking for. This resulted in the perfect design for us and we are extremely happy with the result. The design transformed our house from a single storey 3 bedroom red brick 60's home to a mid century style two storey home that looks and feels brand new. There are now so many fabulous spaces in our home and we are enjoying every minute of hanging out in them. We would definitely work with her again.

Sheralee has provided us with a design that met all the requirements for our Parents retreat. She took on our feedback at interim meetings, was mindful of the existing style within our home & listened to our wish list carefully to come up with the final plans. Sheralee also totally navigated the DA, Engineers, Construction Certificate & Tender processes. She is a no fuss, clever designer who is also a lovely person, making the whole journey stress free.
