team-b design

I would not recommend Team-B and their Director/architect Karl White under any circumstances. They have been incredibly slow and a promised 11 week timeframe for my DA to be submitted turned into nearly 2 years. Even more concerning, Council have now informed me that the basis of the renovation design by Team-B and Mr White encroaches on the Foreshore Building line and from the outset would never have been approved. Despite my numerous efforts to contact them over the last 8 weeks, Team-B are not returning my calls and emails and I am now left with an unapproved DA after having outlaid considerable time and money. The fact that they are not taking any responsibility for rectifying this issue is a further example of the appalling customer service I have received.

We are halfway through a project with Karl White at Team-b in Vaucluse 2030. They have been very hard to get hold of but in Dec 2020 we were finally ready to lodge a Pre-DA. It is now Oct 2021 and we are still waiting. We were told in May 2021 that the PreDA had been lodged to Council but by the end of June we called Council ourselves and they had no record of it. We are currently trying to contact them by any means possible and none of our messages are being returned. We are at a loss for what to do. We have paid for a service but only have .pdf drawings dated June 2020 so if we go to another architect they are going to have to draw it up all over again. We would not recommend Team-b at this time.

team-b were engaged to design an open living space extension at the rear of an old miners cottage that worked within the confines of the backyard and the northerly aspect. I had limited funds so they had to work to a tight budget. Karl and Lynette were receptive to my ideas and listened to what I ultimately wanted to achieve for the space. I liked the way they understood my headspace and worked hard to bring my dream to reality. Their relationship with the builder was respectful and professional. It made the whole experience less stressful and reassuring. team-b were always contactable and patient with any queries/questions that came up during the project build. I have my beautiful space that makes me happier everyday because of their talent and experience in great design and knowledge of building materials.

team b were engaged for all architectural services associated with the planning, concept development, design, approval and construction of a weekender/bush retreat on a secluded 100 acre site in the NSW Central Coast hinterland. Features of the team b's approach to the project were: The initial pre-design advice and discussions helped refine the project brief and brought clarity to the project goals. Comprehensive appreciation of the fact the house is a sustainable, off-grid self-sufficient house/ weekender within strict bushfire and environmental constraints Sympathetic materials selection, including rammed earth, steel and glass High level of communication from team-b leading to a clear, confident process A unique design solution while still considering budget constraints Added value - bringing over 12 years of construction experience to the services and advice regarding building method/ subcontractors etc. The result is a house fulfilling all our requirements - a place to enjoy, relax and recharge.

We hired team-b to redesign our kitchen and living area. The space is over 3 levels with an awkward steel pole in the middle which had to stay. We were thrilled with the design team-b came up with it has totally changed or home. It's now a more open lighter, brighter and modern space with a magnificent kitchen that flows into the living area. Karl and Lynette were very prompt and professional very easy to deal with and had fantastic insight always working within our budget. We just love what we have now and would definitely use them again.

We were looking for an architect to help us design and build a new home in Perth, Western Australia. Our block is small, skinny and long. It is challenging for an architect to design a home that will suit our needs, lifestyle and budget. Eventually, we settled on team-b architecture & design based in Stanwell Park, New South Wales. My wife and I have never built a new house and were apprehensive initially. We needed a lot of hand holding through the whole process. So, we wondered if this interstate client-architect relationship will work well. They were creative, patient, competent and professional from inception, conception to construction. We were particularly impressed with their systemic & logical approach. Every part of the process is properly documented. After a series of emails, face-to-face telephone conversations via Skype and finally meeting them in Stanwell Park, NSW, we decided to hire team-b architecture & design for our new home. The design and proposed specifications were so close to our vision of how and what our new home should look like: 1.A 2-storey multi generation home with separate access 2.Open plan 3.Comfortable and good sized rooms 4.High ceiling 5.Lots of natural skylight 6.Well ventilated 7.Integrating the outdoor patio into part of the living room 8.Water wise Landscaping 9.Using nature to help minimize fluctuations in room temperature throughout the year. They researched and applied the local WA building rules so well. We were glad that team-b obtained DA Approval from the local WA shire without any questions asked. During construction, the builder, material suppliers and trades people were happy to work with team-b architect because they found team-b to be competent, professional and the design of our new home is buildable.

I engaged team-b to design my garage with a loft and amenities. I was impressed by the professionalism of the company and the final product that I received. At all times, team-b were engaging, positive, passionate and patient about the project. They provided end to end services for my project including scoping, design, liaison with local government and contractors. The vision that they provide was in keeping with my own values concerning sustainability, the environment, new technologies and value for money. I would recommend team-b for projects such as my own example, and for large scale residential and commercial projects. I will be engaging them again for any future projects that I am involved with.

We have found the service provided by Karl and Lynette at team-b architecture and design (team-b) to be exceptional! At every stage of the project (design, documentation and approval) they have delivered outcomes that precisely met our needs and exceeded our expectations - we are delighted with the outcome! Importantly, the project has been delivered on time and on budget, depsite our own indecisions which may have been a costly hindrance on any other acrhitect. Karl and Lynette have also provided invaluable advice and assistance in addressing requirements outside of their normal scope and in doing so have been extremely generous with their time. It is worth noting as part of the slection process, we interviewed six other architects and team-b was an obvious choice, as they posessed the extensive and diversified experience along with proven capability and artistic flair. From a personal perspective, we have found Karl and Lynette to be warm and caring people who are very passionate and have immense pride in what they do. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending team-b for any project and I have since recommended team-b to my family and friends.

Team B is a leading professional architecture and design company, Karl has designed many award winning projects and I have been lucky enough to build a handful of them over the years. Their professional attitude, attention to detail, customer focus and award winning design make my job easy. Without any reservation I recommend them to clients who need a fresh and exciting design solution for their home.
