Architectural Design Services in Marrickville, New South Wales

“Joumana Moore receives a five star review from us and it is thoroughly deserved. Joumana has provided us with a total service including planning, design, building expertise, contact to suppliers, project management and has also covered off all of the little painful jobs that go with a renovation. Joumana has always kept our budget requirements in the front of her mind and has given us every opportunity to make decisions based around our budget while also making sure we get the design we have always wanted with a high standard finish. Joumana has been very flexible where we have made changes and provided excellent advice about how to proceed and the relative cost of things. Joumana is assisted by an excellent team of professionals that help co-ordinate the renovation. Our build is on schedule and on budget and we are very grateful that Joumana has lead the project and made life so much easier for us. We still have our sanity, the build and finish we wanted and its on budget – we are very very happy with Joumana’s service and would highly recommend her to others taking on a renovation journey.”

“Never have I been so pleased to engage a professional service as I have done on this occasion. My interaction with The Site Foreman began with a hand shake and that has set the tone from the very first interaction. I respect and use the concept of 'straight talk' and once the team became aware of my style all discussions have been frank, open and honest - the only way to conduct business in my opinion. Please do not read into this negative robust discussion but rather read that this has been a journey of respect, communication, listening and my learning about how to go about such a project of a knock down rebuild. (I don't yet have photos, but when I do, they will be posted for sure.) We are yet to get this project complete but I have no doubt that if the journey that we have had thus far is how our build is going to progress, then I believe that I have made new friends and not just conducted a business transaction. I have recommended TSF to a colleague and he has engaged this professional group also. Thoroughly recommend The Site foreman to anyone seeking to build or renovate. It will be an experience, but if you listen to the advice, heed any warnings and be prepared to learn why and not close of your options that may be suggested, it will be a positive experience and you will get a good outcome.”

“We are in the process of renovating our house and are extremely happy with the service that Luke and Mukesh have provided. We have a 1920's Californian Bungalow and are re-designing the downstairs and adding a modern 2nd-storey to the back part of the house. They have always been willing to listen to our suggestions and incorporated it into the design or came up with other ideas that we preferred! They are always quick to answer any questions we have and so easy to reach via phone or email. They are also willing to communicate with our builder and interior designer to get the best result for us. We highly recommend them if you want a great design whilst working with a professional team on your side.”

“I worked with Christian Grennan of Kreis Grennan when redeveloping two Torrens title dwellings in Glebe. It was a tight site with a dilapidated cottage and the neighbor’s didn’t want any more dwellings in the area. Kreis Grennan organized a meeting with the neighbors at a local pub prior to council submission and presented the concept design. It was a very positive experience, where everyone could ask questions and get honest answers. Not always answers they wanted to hear but answers that were considered. The meeting made the whole process run smoothly including the development application and subdivision. Construction drawings were produced with enormous attention to detail so my team knew what was required. The end result is fantastic. I would be happy to recommend Kreis Grennan to anyone looking for a quality architect”

“When we were ready to undertake our complete demolish and rebuild home renovation in Leichhardt, in Sydney's inner west, Jessica Matson was the obvious choice for us. I had been referred to Jessica by a business colleague, and prior to our house Jessica had already designed the new fit out of our recording studio/television production facility. Coming from a technical/construction background in heavy industry myself, I had very strong ideas on what we wanted to achieve with our build. Jessica's ability to realise our vision, and expand on it with her creativity and experience delivered us a design that melts the original 100 year old semi-terrace into open plan living. Our home is full of light, feels wonderful to live in, and flows seamlessly from one part of the house to the other. As an owner builder I still have much weekend work to complete the build, but now that we are back living in the house we can't wait to get the final result. We had a lengthy and difficult battle with Leichhardt Council during the DA process, including an appeal with the Land & environment Court. The whole process took nearly 4 years. Throughout this time Jessica's ongoing advice and ability to think outside the box was no doubt a major contributing factor that resulted with us winning every detail of our appeal. On top of all this we formed a friendship with Jessica and we will for sure use her services for any project that comes up in the future. I can not recommend 'Jessica Matson Architect' more highly.”

“There are many reasons why we are glad we chose CplusC over other architects. Firstly, their natural and balanced aesthetic strongly appeals to us and we are genuinely pleased and impressed with the quality of the construction of our home. Secondly, and as importantly, CplusC are both designers and builders. This has the advantage of avoiding disagreements between architects and builders, which meant a less difficult building process and minimises the unexpected costs that inevitably arise. Thirdly, CplusC are environmentally clever designers and builders: they design to minimise wasted construction materials; and their design and the materials they used means our ongoing expenses are reduced (we only need to turn the heater on for three or so weeks in the year, and don't use air conditioning, instead enjoying cross-breezes). CplusC have built us a beautiful home that our children will grow up in and we are happy to recommend them.”

“We are on our second successful project with Ella from dhw. On both projects we have been really happy with the inspiration, professionalism and care shown by Ella and the others in dhw's team. Our projects are for the faint-hearted, but dhw have risen to the challenge! On our recommendation, our neighbours and other friends have engaged dhw and they are similarly very pleased with the outcomes.”

“I hired Nathalie at NS Studio to complete our renovation project and project manage our build. She was so hands on and always there to help me with advice and any queries. I would highly recommend her, she is very well connected and had some great ideas. Nathaie's interior design skills were an added bonus when furnishing the inside of the house aswell.”

“We hired Adam from Higginbotham Studio for a knock down/rebuild of our external garage. Adam was attentive, diligent, and generous with his time. He made excellent recommendations in relation to the building work, and also made a great referral to the team who would eventually use to build the structure. Adam attended site throughout construction working with us, the builder and the Certifier to ensure everything ran smoothly. He even managed to ensure we completed on time - in the week of Christmas no less! Couldn't recommend strongly enough.”
