“Demis is an absolute pleasure to work with. Demis is helping us draw up our dream home, by way of an extension to our existing house and has been incredibly patient, diligent, responsive, organised, proactive and helpful. Demis is very passionate about his work, you can tell he loves what he does and this comes through in his work. Demis is always professional, friendly and easy to talk to. He often sends through suggestions or ideas with no prompting and is always happy to revisit or test how other options might work. He has assisted us a great deal in pulling together our plans for Council and meeting with them. We can’t fault Demis in terms of his commitment, responsiveness and the quality of service he has provided us so far and I look forward to one day completing our project with Demis’ help.”

“Rocco and team are fantastic, they designed 5 houses for our family.”

“Vanessa is amazing! So much so that I've given her the nickname "Sydney's Best", abbreviated from "Sydney's Best Architect". We have undertaken 2 renovations and Vanessa was the architect on both occasions. In fact, we delayed our 2nd renovation to coincide with her return to Australia so she could be on-site for the job. Vanessa has a relaxed and friendly manner that belies her expertise and talent. Whilst her ideas and recommendations are outstanding, Vanessa's great strength is her ability to listen to and understand what we were hoping to achieve and then to make it happen. Twelve months on from completion and we continue to be blown away with how happy we are with Vanessa's design. We love the home that Vanessa has designed for us and truly couldn't be happier. The wonderful thing is that it isn't just a home for adults or a home for kids. Vanessa has designed a home that is to be lived in and everyone living in the house loves it. The design takes in so many considerations - it's a home for entertaining and a home for living; it accommodates people having their own spaces but also areas for people to interact; the space is utilised extremely well with the roof and under deck areas utilised to create maximum storage and an additional room. The design is very clever. Additionally, Vanessa has a great approach to working with the builder and sub-contractors and whilst you often hear about builder / architect difficulties Vanessa's approach and way of working with people ensures a happy and positive outcome for all parties. We are now looking at developing some apartments and wouldn't think of using anyone else. In fact, we can't wait to work with Vanessa again. Great person. Wonderful architect.”

“Lalit was approachable and responsive. After a lot of discussion we proceeded with a straightforward, single-level extension which produced some wonderful spaces in our Californian bungalow. While there are a few tweaks we might have anticipated that would have further enhanced the design, we are really happy with the project Lalit designed and appreciate his support throughout the project. This was a major project and Lalit was able to provide design and cost advice that guided us to a very successful outcome.”

“Exist Architecture gave us some fantastic advice about our heritage listed home in Erskineville. They had some brilliant ways to make the most of the space and modernise it, while keeping the charm and staying within the requirements of the heritage listing. It was a pleasure working with Exist.”

“Money Design Studio provided a friendly and professional service from the start. They were extremely helpful and gave great insight into the creation of making our dream home, our reality home. I highly recommend Justine and the team at Money Design Studio. Complete pleasure to work with.”

“Mark Baxter and David Jacobson are sensitive skilled architects. They will hear your needs and also offer you a selection of alternatives to expand your possibilities. Throughout the renovation of our duplex, architect Leith Schmidt and all the BJA team were professional and supportive, as well as monitoring fine details and dealing with inevitable changes in design due to unknown circumstances. They were a pleasure to work with, I would have struggled without them, and I would use them again. Virginia”
