Floor Plans Services in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

“A renovation is a significant investment so you want to make sure you get the planning right. That’s why Maria’s unique service is invaluable and exactly what I needed. Maria assessed the plans that I’d had drawn up and offered excellent advice to make sure the finished product would work both functionally and aesthetically. The choices are endless when it comes to selecting finishes and I wish I’d consulted Maria earlier. She’s very passionate, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. I am very thankful for her advice and guidance. Claire Corbitt, Perth”

“Studio 56 is always known for high quality design, which delivers a single point of responsibility to clients through the design process. Studio 56 planned and designed our house in a way that we greatly reduced added cost and delays. Cristian Gonzalez, the architect is very pleasant and is easily accessible. When we had to make changes he spent extra time with us and it improved design aesthetics and energy efficiency for our house. He listens to you and comes up with good ideas. He draws plans relevant to contemporary times. He guided us in a very professional way at each stage of the project. We quickly arrived on a great design - spacious, attractive, making the most of the constraints of the existing house and block, while still straightforward to build, which was important in keeping the building costs down. His staff members are friendly and always ready to help you out. His pricing is very reasonable we believe that it is affordable too. We would highly recommend Studio 56 design for new home. Keep up the good work.”

“I wanted a company who could advise me on materials eg. quality of glass, insulation, cladding etc to achieve an 8 star rating. Jenny Edwards was the right person as she was able to advise me on all these aspects. As i am a person who needs to understand everything in detail, I found the team to be professional, helpful and above all very patient as we worked through the whole planning process. Higher costs occurred when I chose more expensive options than originally planned. Delays occurred when we could not register it as an extension but needed to obtain dual occupancy approval. What I like about my house - Light and airy, large sliding doors to north facing, large deck, vine covered in summer and letting in all the winter sunshine. - study nook in corner of living area, allowing me to work while able to look through all the windows and smell burning in the kitchen across the way. - Back door leading from carport into kitchen, good for groceries. - No steps anywhere, except 3 going onto deck. - large, sliding, full length doors everywhere. - Good for ageing-in-place! - full length pantry -walk-in linen cupboard. - electric, wall-mounted radiators, Dymock (Norway) for soft, radiant heat, - no air con needed yet - have covered western and eastern windows with a pull-down, outside blind. - Solar panels on roof - Spotted Gum, engineered timber floors, beautiful to look at, no vacuuming, just a flick with a microfibre mop. What I would do differently - No instant gas hot water heater - no wind-out windows as with double glazing they do not open up wide enough to let in breezes - Would not use recommended Organ Oil for spotted gum decking, as it encouraged black mould. Water based finish much better. PS. I tried to add some photos but managed to wipe all this out and have just had to type it again. So not willing to try again. but can send separately if needed. - - -”

“As a builder, I have worked with If... Design Explorers on a number of projects over the last few years. I will continue to recommend them to prospective clients to bring their design dreams to life. Anna is highly professional and has an incredible eye for detail ensuring the results are as individual as her clients. Her experience and extensive industry contacts are an asset to her clients- she is able to source furniture, fabrics and flooring anywhere from Canberra to her overseas suppliers as well as designing detailed joinery layouts to maximize the space at hand. Anna completely meets her clients requests and takes the pressure off them to create homes and workplaces that feel completely refined and all aspects of the project connect to give a feeling of balance, structure and coordination.”

“Hugh has been excellent in helping us out with our container home design. Responsive to our requests, very supportive of eco-friendly ideas. He knows the region well, particularly where our build project is, and has taken the plans to the council for approval. For the work undertaken we think he is is very good value for money.”

“We found Michael to be excellent. He was easy to work with and challenged us on our design. He was able to draw out why we had chosen certain elements and then proposed alternatives that enhanced many components of our build. We found him very generous with his outstanding knowledge, down to earth and very obliging. What a nice guy. Thank you Michael. Update Oct 2020 - Have contacted Michael this month to help with some DA issues that were not to do with his design or plans. He has helped us find others who can help with our issue immediately. Just above and beyond. WOW how I have really appreciate this - Peter.”

“Between them, Kier and Louise have designed 3 bathrooms, a kitchen and remodelled the layout of our beachhouse for us. The results have been stunning every time. We love it - and when people come into our house we get a lot of really positive comments with ‘wow’ being the most frequent word. Very professional and a real ability to marry the practical with the beautiful”

“We have used Robyn's services for two bathroom renovations and sought her advice for a couple of smaller interior design projects. On each occasion she was great at listening to our needs and thoughts and contributed her own ideas and suggestions based on her experience and extensive knowledge of products, colours and design trends. She then combined the whole into detailed plans that included an itemised budget so we knew where the money was going and could tweak costs as necessary. Robyn surrounds herself with professional and skilled tradespeople and closely managed the works from beginning to end to produce a high quality result. We are very happy with our new spaces and would have no hesitation in using Inner Sanctum Interiors again in the future.”

“I ordered two floor rugs last year and have only just laid them down. They're fantastic. Exactly as I expected, a great size (200x300), good colours, and they feel nice and soft to walk on. They need frequent vacuuming in the first few weeks because of loose fibres, but that is expected too. Outside of that? Fantastic communication, fast postage, they came well wrapped (from an environmental POV I would have liked less plastic, but I can't fault they were well wrapped) and I am incredibly happy with the experience.”
