“Peter was responsive to our ideas and suggestions, skilfully translating them into a set of working plans which captured the essence of what we were looking for in our new home. He wasn't afraid to gently challenge us if he thought there might be a more aesthetically pleasing or cost - effective way of achieving our dream. We found the process to be enjoyable and exciting and we are very happy with the design Peter was able to achieve. Peter had a professional yet friendly manner and we are very happy to recommend him.”

“Tarema Cottage, Howden Owners: Jill and Emlyn Jones Project timeframes: February 2014 – July 2016 Jill and I engaged Rebecca in early 2014 to provide a full architectural service on our new build in Howden. Due to the location of the block and existing dwelling, there were a number of constraints from the outset. Rebecca worked closely with us to come up with a concept that was sympathetic to our original coastal cottage. The project was finished in October 2016, with Rebecca having professionally managed the build from concept stage to completion. There were two aspects of Rebecca’s service that we considered essential to the success of the build: Creativity and innovation: Our design brief was challenging given the limited space (footprint) for the build, the need to accommodate eldery visitors, and our desire to mix new products and building practices with salvaged materials. The end results has been a light, easy access space that has a superb character that respectfully sits beside our original coastal cottage. Both friends and visitors have commented on the relaxed feel of the building that feels far bigger than it appears from the outside. Project Management: From the start of the concept stage, through to the completion of the build, Rebecca provided sound guidance on the many decisions that needed to be made. Furthermore, she was able to translate our suggestions and ideas into manageable and compliant designs. All the documentation, compliance with changing building regulations and contract administration and coordination of the builders was handled efficiently and with minimal delays. Perhaps the most challenging aspect was liaising between ourselves as owners and the builders for tasks that we wanted close involvement (e.g. joinery). Rebecca was flexible and agile with the need to change plans as the projects evolved. In summary, Jill and I were very happy with Rebbecca Fullerton Architect and the outcome of the building produced.”

“A fabulous artist studio demonstrating Room 11's core architectural ethics. Use of cantilever like GASP, but small scale, angles, proportions and attention to detail. A wall that moves to open up the working space onto a large deck with screens to frame your view of the Huon River. Use of 6mm steel to compliment the celery top timber cladding which is gradually toning into its distinctive pink grey.”

“My wife and I originally employed Katree as an interior designer to plan our new kitchen layout. She has a superb sense of flow and efficiency as well as aesthetics. The result was so good, and working with her so easy, that we then employed her as our architect for a large bathroom and laundry extension to the master bedroom suite. She listened to our requirements and made many valid suggestions, many of which we adopted, but she was accepting if we disagreed and wanted something else. She always found a way to fulfill our needs. The end result was a building that was what we wanted, not what she wanted. This, from my experience as a building engineer, is an important quality in an architect, one that is sometimes lacking. Understanding and giving the client their dream is important. Katree certainly has the ability to do that. She also acted as our planning representatitive, having excellent knowledge of the process, and the application was handled very smoothly with no problems arising. We both found Katree a true professiona in all aspects of her work, always reliable and timely. We always felt she went the "extra mile" for us. At the end of the day the kitchen and bathroom/laundry extension are wonderful and we are very happy with, and grateful for, the work she did. We would most certainly recommend her as we have frequently done so already !”

“JA Constructions built my first home, the quality and workmanship shown throughout is top notch. I am about to build another property for investment through JA Constructions and he has guided me through the drafting stage to ensure my plans are designed to save as much money through the build being purely for investment. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him, the quality and service is fantastic.”
