Custom work Architects in Paddington, New South Wales

“I engaged Aqua Architects to assist with the comprehensive renovation of my 3- bedroom apartment in Manly. Marco provided excellent advice relating to design/concept (ideas I would never have thought of), selection of materials/colours and lighting, as well as particular building techniques such as shadow lines and recessed curtains, etc. All his suggestions were incorporated into the project and the end result is simply stunning. Everything (the design, the materials, the colours) matches up seamlessly and looks amazing. Marco also took full responsibility for managing the DA and CDC processes prior to the commencement of construction. The CDC process, in particular, was very complicated due to the categorisation of my apartment building, so Marco's help in this process was invaluable. There is no way I could have navigated these processes myself. Throughout the project, Marco was a pleasure to deal with, always so helpful, responsive and fun. He was super professional and always went the extra mile to ensure the project was completed to an excellent standard. From countless discussions with me and my interior decorator, to meetings with suppliers and builders/trades, and even being on site during construction (often in his own time) to ensure his designs were being followed and that everything was going smoothly, Marco was invaluable to me during the project. I cannot recommend Marco and Aqua Architects highly enough.”

“I couldn’t speak highly enough of House to Home Finishes. As you could imagine, as first time renovators, we were naturally uncertain and also aware of all the horror stories you hear when it comes to renovation. But from the moment we met Joumana and her wonderful team we were put at ease by their professionalism and natural handling of the project. The team handled literally everything for us from one of the most difficult DA approval processes through two the execution of the build at self and including the interior design and architectural management, everything was taken care of. The project came in under budget and the team finished on exactly the day they said they would. This is seemingly unheard-of in construction! Aside from that they are just good people who care deeply about the outcome for the client and do a fantastic job of delivering an absolutely gorgeous house. There is no way I would ever use anyone else for renovation in Sydney.”

“Kate is an incredibly talented architect. We appointed her to help us realise our "forever home" renovation and we can't imagine ever using anyone else. She is creative, experienced and thoroughly professional. She is also a lovely person who was always keen to let us collaborate with her. Her network of engineers, certifiers, builders, etc are talented in their own fields and we always felt we were in good hands. I would not hesitate in recommending Kate to anyone embarking on a renovation or new build project.”
