Sustainable Design Services in Melbourne, Victoria

“We engaged the Architecture Matters team to help us with the renovation and extension of a small 1930' house in the central highlands Victoria. Throughout the entire process we explored many design options coming up with a solution that would not only give a house double the size, but maximised the outdoor space of the corner block it sat on. We were delighted with the outcome!”

“We hired Emme designs to decorate our penthouse and were very pleased with the results.Before proceeding , with her company,Emmy put our minds at ease by preparing a folio, showing us various materials, colour palette and fabric swatches to be used for our project. Emmy was very professional, communicated well, and was easy to talk to,understanding exactly what we liked…eg. we opted for a minimalist modern decor, for furniture ,T.V. cabinet, study nook etc.She had good contacts, and knew exactly where to source everything from, therefore saving us heaps. Emmy was very reliable and always kept her appointments on time. We highly recommend her for her knowledge and experience.”

“Highly recommended builder. After a long journey trying to find a reputable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy builder. His friendly, informed and relaxed approach gave us the confidence that it wasn't just a sell. Even better, we had some deadlines to achieve, so Michael and his team started within 2 weeks from inspection, and delivered two renovated bathrooms on time and without any cost variation.”

“I found Jane of Jane Gorman Interiors very personable and efficient. Her review of my home and call back with suggested fabrics was right on the button. Excellent advice on upholstery in lounge, quick and no fuss on providing samples and getting back to me. Helpful in making decisions, in fact, I was well 'guided' to an excellent choice, which I enjoy everyday as i look over my lounge room. Cupboards and shelving were constructed and painted to an excellent standard and final checks made and any alterations necessary were done without any difficulty. Things that I had forgotten to do were quickly re-addressed by Jane, eg carpet pulled back and relaid. Electrical points shifted. A difficult job was made that much easier as Jane seems to have a good relationship with tradesmen that she uses.. I am very grateful for the work she has done in my home. I have no hesitation in recommending her to friends. yours Diana Dawson”

“I recently designed a front and rear landscape for a Balaclava project designed by Taylor Knights. I saw the house before the major renovation which was a fairly standard Edwardian with little space to extend beyond the existing footprint without diminishing the much needed outdoor areas. I thought this would be tough to achieve anything special. How wrong I was! Not only have they created extremely livable and open interior spaces filled with light, plus a private upstairs suite but it’s their considered choices using off the shelf cost effective materials in unexpected ways, that sets these guys apart. Wainscoting and standard pegboard by way of example, become jewels when handled with such care and without blowing the budget. Sure, there are some architectural tricks you’d expect from a young architectural firm, but they don’t take over and create unique textures that are very easy to live with. For me, the test of great design is when you look at the finished project and if you are not too sure what year it was completed then that’s a mark of great architects. They have achieved a ‘timeless’ outcome, which takes real skill and is why I would highly recommend Taylor Knights for a renovation or new residential build.

“I was given the confidence and trust by Sky hence hired him to design my new house just by the marina. My journey with Sky started more than 3 years ago. Every step of the way, Sky had given me the clarity and best effort on all building and design aspect. I have to admit that I am not an easy client for I bomb Sky with numerous calls during weekends, public holidays and after hours. Yes Sky was ever willing to listen and help me with my queries. To be honest, I was hunting for an architect and had waisted some small fortune with two prior so called architect. I am glad I found Sky as his experiences, dedication and attention to detail is un-matched! Sky had helped me through from my house design to acquring planning permit, which was unbelievably difficult, and even administered my whole building project. There were massive amount of challenges due to unforeseen circumstances but Sky was able to assist in resolving them amicably in terms of timeline and cost.”
