Sustainable Design Services in Ultimo, New South Wales

“I found Paul from Sharp Design Solutions online whilst looking for black bedroom furniture. Paul was quick to respond to my initial enquiry and assured us that he could work with us to produce what we had in mind. Paul came to our home, had a look at the space, talked to us about the base design we were interested in and worked out the dimensions of each of the pieces we were after and provided us with an initial quote. When it was clear we could not fit one of the pieces up the stairwell, Paul came up with an innovative solution to fix the problem without detracting from the end product. We were pleasantly surprised how reasonable the original and revised quotes were and happy to go ahead. Paul gave us an indicative timeframe as to when we could expect to take delivery of our new furniture, and to our surprise it was ready for delivery when he said it would be! Delivery was arranged to suit our busy schedules and we were absolutely delighted with the end result. It was everything we had envisaged! The quality of the furniture was better than what we had seen in furniture shops and it met, even exceeded, our needs and expectations Paul has made the whole experience easy and we would be happy to recommend Paul and Sharp Design Solutions to anyone!”

“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.”

“At the end of last year we engaged Skookom to transform a very tired, small space into a highly functional & efficient, contemporary Espresso Bar. We had been impressed with their body of work and after our initial consultation with Elise & Ian, their calm and thorough approach filled us with confidence that our ideas could be realised. They managed to complete our project on time and worked closely with us and our designers to do bring it all within budget. Their attention to detail was second to none, overseeing all tradespeople and ensuring that everything was meticulous as if it were their own home. We have done numerous renovations both private and commercial over the years with a number of different companies here and interstate - Skookom are definitely top of their game. Thank you”

“My husband and I worked with Amanda on the full renovation of our turn-of-the-last-century worker’s cottage in Camperdown. We were looking for someone to redesign the small space to make it more comfortable and liveable. A creative use of space and light were our number one criteria. Amanda was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Her calm approach is thoughtful and collaborative. She guided us every step of the way and produced a creative and quality design. One of the best things we did was engage Amanda to supervise the construction phase including weekly site meetings. She went above and beyond and took away a lot of the stress involved in this phase. She gave us very good advice along the way and proved invaluable in noticing the details that matter. The result is a practical, functional and welcoming modern aesthetic with delightful spaces and natural light through out. Exactly what we asked for! We could not have been happier with our experience, the result and the service Amanda provided.”

“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.”

“Nikki was amazing to work with. We were grateful to have someone with great expertise in her industry, being highly professional and a prompt communicator. She listened to our needs and came up with a concept that reflected what we wanted for our new home. Nikki specified furniture, décor and a colour scheme for our apartment, with floor plans for our project. Could not recommend highly enough!”

“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 Highly recommend Blakes Of Sydney! From day dot the service was very professional, reliable and friendly. We hired Blake to look after our entire kitchen and bathroom renovation. They made the whole process enjoyable, due to their knowledge of not only the designing and aesthetics of these zones, but also functionality. The project was completed on schedule because they were there the whole way to arrange consultations and advise us on when finishes or appliances needed to be chosen.We relied upon them to help guide our decisions on final finishes and appliances to keep us to a realistic budget. The final result was what we asked for and more!”

“A friend suggested we obtain a quote from Neil Turrell after we had plans approved by council for an extensive renovation which included putting a master bedroom upstairs. We had already narrowed our choice of builders down to two, but my husband and I thought that it wouldn’t hurt to get one more quote from Turrell’s especially because our friend who we trusted was so insistent that we speak to Neil. From our first interaction with Leisa Turrell we were provided with exceptional service. Neil was responsive and attended our place within a week. He took away the plans we already had drawn up and promised to provide a quote as soon as possible. A few days later he called, explained that he was discussing our plans with his in-house designer Alec and confessed that they didn’t believe our existing plan was ‘good bang for our buck’. He asked us to consider a different option and suggested that Alec come and visit our property so he could get a first hand feel for the block. When Alec visited I walked him through the very original house and explained all the things that were frustrating us and that we hoped to rectify in the renovation. I was still a little unsure what Turrell’s was proposing but trusted Neil when he suggested we explore all options before committing to such an extensive project. Within a few weeks Alec had drawn up the most fantastic plan, which we instantly loved. What’s more, he had listened to what I’d asked for and addressed everything in my rather extensive list. We were kicking ourselves that we hadn’t heard about Turrell's earlier and wasted time and money with other designers (one of which never even attended our house to speak to us!). We are so grateful that Neil had the courage to give us his honest opinion. The plans that Turrell's designed are far superior in terms of functionality, street appeal and overall layout. From that point we knew we were in the right hands and had made the right decision to proceed with Turrell’s. We were assigned an absolutely A-grade team of builders - Stevie and Mason capably and cheerily led by Laeton - who set about miraculously turning Alec’s awesome drawings into reality. Our renovation was extensive: replacing every window and door in the house; a new roof; an extension including a master suite; new garage; laundry; three bathrooms, a deck and a magnificent kitchen. Furthermore Turrell's accommodated us living through the reno which was not easy for the team at times. Laeton completely understood me and my style and worked compatibly with us to achieve our end result suggesting little things here and there that put the icing on the cake. We trusted him implicitly - which cannot be overstated when you are working in such close proximity. Whenever we struck a stumbling block (and let’s be real there are always stumbling blocks in reno’s) the team were quick to troubleshoot or come up with a workable solution. Neil was very attentive and available and kept a watchful eye over our project right through to completion and followed through on a number of minor things. We honestly could not be happier with the home Turrell’s have created for us. We pinch ourselves everyday that we have such a lovely home now. We miss the buzz of the team on site - they felt like family after our seven month intense relationship! I think even the neighbours miss them! We have people stopping on a regular basis to tell us how great our place looks which is a great compliment to Turrell’s. All of our dealings with Turrell’s - from the office staff through to Leisa and Neil have been professional and respectful which helped reduce the stress of such a huge project. We would not hesitate in recommending Turrell’s Building to anyone seeking a quality renovation and would be happy to provide a verbal reference if required.”

“Thank you Andrew Dee for the amazing design of my new kitchen. Wonderful Kitchens, from the start to the finish of the project, were very professional. Everyone of my questions was answered promptly and we worked together to create the most efficient kitchen taking into consideration every little detail. We would highly recommend Wonderful Kitchens.
