Featured Reviews for Architects in Leeston, Canterbury

Bob Burnett Architecture
Architects in Leeston, Canterbury
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 May 2016
“I have worked with the BBA team providing landscape design services for several residences around Christchurch and have found them fantastic to work with. They are enthusiastic and responsive to new ideas, materials and approaches and their expertise in sustainable design strategies provides a great inspiration for environmentally friendly landscapes. Perhaps the best testimonial is meeting BBA clients who remain totally in love with their homes many years after it was built.”
MCAS - Max Capocaccia Architecture Studio
Architects in Leeston, Canterbury
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars27 November 2017
“When it came to building our own house, Max and his team came on board to help put the finishing touches on the design and detail up our plans. They were very accommodating, considering that, as clients who work in the industry, we were very much a part of the process. Max helped to push some aspects of the design architecturally, and we are really happy with the end result. They were professional but still approachable and friendly to deal with. MCAS are passionate about sustainable design, which is very important to us too, so they were a great fit for us and our project.”

Design Factum Limited
Architects in Leeston, Canterbury
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 April 2018
“With his international background from both Italy, Venezuela and modern Shanghai; Belfiore fully understood our brief as we tried to incorporate our experiences from when we were living in Spain, Egypt and Brazil. Our hill section was truly challenging because of its unusual shape and steepness, however; Belfiore designed the house in a way that is not only stunning but also very comfortable in terms of spaces and thermal performance, a real pleasure to live in. Everyone who visits us is amazed of how well the house flows, both from the outside-in as from the inside-out. The design was also a result of several meetings on which the need to go beyond ordinary office hours was never a problem as Belfiore is strongly committed to arrive at a design solution that reaches a high level of uniqueness while being architecturally sound and, as in our case; includes all client's wishes.”
Young Architects
Architects in Leeston, Canterbury
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 August 2017
“I have never seen anyone get more excited about a new building than the people of Redcliffs. I could barely get any work done! The story starts, as so many others in Christchurch, with earthquakes and demolition. The team at Young Architects has close ties to the neighbourhood, and was involved in the rebuild of the community library from the very beginning. They took up the challenge of designing an inviting public meeting space that reflects its community. From the red colour of the building to the gable construction reminiscent of the spines on a bookshelf, the library is a space Redcliffs is very proud of, as I soon learned. Since I happen to live down the road, I did more than my usual share of bullying the client into involving me. I knew the semi-translucent gable would be perfect for blue hour photography once finished. I got really excited picturing the final images in my mind's eye. When Greg Young and I finally toured the library, the degree of pride in the community was almost overwhelming. People stopped us repeatedly in the streets to tell their library stories, express how proud they are, and what a good guy Greg is. There were even a few hugs. While I was shooting the building a little while later, people repeatedly told me how happy they were with their new library. It was touching to see how connected everyone felt with this space. I hope the images will do the project justice.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 July 2016
“We have worked with the team at Three Sixty Architecture on numerous projects and would have no hesitation in recommending them to any clients of ours. Their designs are distinctive, their drawings well detailed and accurate and they have a pragmatic approach which is valued by our team onsite.”
Fernandes Architects
Architects in Leeston, Canterbury
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 May 2019
“So so perfect. I was not the best or easiest client to work with as the concept I had was so vague and the budget was so...non-existent, I had absolutely no idea really whatsoever. Fernandes plucked the information he needed from the conversations we had and he created a perfect space that was well affordable and just right. SO GOOD> would totally recommend.”
PXA Ltd.
Architects in Leeston, Canterbury
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars29 November 2015
“We have found PXA to be incredibly professional to work with both on new builds and major earthquake renovations. Good communication channels between architects, clients and the builder is crucial to any project running smoothly and this was certainly achieved while working with PXA.”
CoLab Architecture
Architects in Leeston, Canterbury
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars22 August 2017
“We worked with Colab Architecture for an internal project and they gave us a plan that was well designed and thought out. It was great to work with Colab on this project because it gave us a good understanding of how to best use our space whilst making it look and feel updated and modern.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Leeston, Canterbury also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Leeston, Canterbury who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Leeston, Canterbury, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Leeston locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Leeston, Canterbury architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Canterbury subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
