  • Daniel made the design process of our new house both easy and enjoyable. His modern ideas and eye for detail were very much appreciated. Along with being really personable, we found that he actually listened to our wishes and incorporated them into his design. Our builder, even with his 30 years’ experience, is amazed at the quality of his plans and has had many similar comments from his subcontractors. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Daniel and his company to anyone wishing to design a new house.

  • Daniel is my architect and I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to build. He listened to my needs, and came up with a design I loved. He was co-operative, efficient and had great attention to detail. I would not hesitate to use him again!

  • Daniel recently did some work for my parents and due to their lack of skills relating to anything online they asked me to pass on the following. Thanks so much for your work on their place, especially with the ideas and suggestions you made along the way. Thanks also for putting up with the numerous alterations they made which they tell me were never an issue. (you must be a patient guy) Mum speaks glowingly of the work you have done and couldn't recommend you more. Cheers!

  • I bought a house in Mt Martha which Daniel had designed. A number of years later we had Daniel design a yoga studio and gym for us to mirror and enhance the design of the original house. Daniel did an outstanding job in an intelligent and no fuss way, his documentation was to a very high standard which allowed us to secure a competitive fixed build price and the final product was extremely satisfactory. Highly recommended.
