  • 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.

  • My husband and I engaged Daniel to assist us in designing and making an existing home "our dream home". His service is efficient, creative and he understood our dilemma to find the fine balance of the merging of an old and new build. We have been thrilled with Daniel and we look forward to completing the project together so he can happily use our home as a showcase of what's achievable.

  • Daniel designed us a gorgeous modern home that we now live in and love. He listened to us and paid close attention to our brief, something that two Melbourne based Architects had failed to do before our builder found Daniel.

  • Daniel was recommended to us and I have to say we truly could not have managed the design and planning process without his assistance and could not be happier with his work. Daniel has managed the entire process of town planning and council requirements. He has extensive knowledge of the planning and permit process which has been invaluable. He has been patient and always had effective communication throughout the whole process. He goes above and beyond to find the best design and assists in finding the most cost effective design which will translate to our build process. I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough. Thank you.

  • Daniel is a mastermind, I don't know how he does it. I had Daniel draw up design for my townhouse and he listened to what I envisaged and was happy to make changes to his drawing until I was completely happy. He had to deal with a terrible council for town planning , regulations and permits. This he did and even visited the council a few times to set things in motion. Daniel is easy to talk to and only too happy to work with you. He takes the time to get the drawing just right for you, and doesn't rush you cause he has other projects . He has great ideas and has the insight to Invisage the finished house. I love my townhouse, Daniel has worked wonders. I recommend everyone to use Daniel for his expertise in architecture. Highly thought of.

  • Daniel was a pleasure to work with. He was recommended to us by a friend and he was able to accomodate our urgent needs. Always available for communication and helped us through a difficult time. He was very easy to work with and never seemed fussed. I would highly recommend Daniel from Vistalab for your next project.
