70 Saint Albans, Canterbury Architectural Designers

“We have just completed our second home over a ten year period designed by ADQ architecture with Principal Kurt Lehman. We were very pleased with the first experience and are delighted with the end result on this second occasion. Kurt has an ability to really understand a brief and budget. We loved his creative ideas and sense of size, space and proportion. He has up to date knowledge of the latest building materials and related technologies. And most importantly, he has a very pleasant interpersonal style with a refreshing ability to convey his ideas without imposing his own views.”

“Susanne from Architecta immediately got the feel of our old house (which had to be demolished post-quake) and of our lifestyle, and designed a replacement that fitted us well. It was a pleasure to work with someone who shared our sustainability ideals and had a great depth of knowledge. We were immensely grateful for her professional support and guidance through all the aspects of the build, and would thoroughly recommend Architecta.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jason of Higham Architecture. Living in our home for 2 years now, we are extremely happy with the design he produced for us. We are confident that it not only suits our lifestyle today with 2 small children, it is a design that we can see ourselves enjoying in many years to come. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and approachable with an impeccable eye for detail. We felt confident that Jason took on board our wish list in our first meeting and when he presented us with our first draft he took our vision to a whole new level. We found his communication to be friendly, prompt and professional. Whatever Jason offered or discussed with us, he followed through with and we couldn't ask for better than that. Jason was very respectable of timelines and kept in touch with us throughout our build showing genuine interest in the building process and finishing touches we chose to complete the design. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jason.”

“I have been working with O'Neil Architecture for over 15 Years. Darren and his team are passionate about Design and giving the client a home that looks and feels great, but also fits their budget and wish list. We at D J Hewitt Builders Ltd share the same passion and I enjoy working with the Team. O'Neils documentation is good and attention to detail is high right from permit to move in. Daryl Hewitt Managing Director D J Hewitt Builders Ltd”

“Helped us in a very stressful time after the earthquakes to move on and not just planning to repair our house but to improve it in the process. Put us on to a wonderful builder that will see the project move forward. Can't wait for the work to begin!!”

“We heard of Ben Brady at Linetype Architectural from friends who were using his house design services for their new build and rang to enquire. From the outset, Ben was helpful, knowledgeable and provided good advice. We asked him to visit us and to see what might be possible with our house extension. He arrived as organised and listened thoughtfully to our ideas and hopes for the house extension. Pleasingly, his email summary of the meeting captured the essence and detail of the meeting as well as his thoughts for how the extension might look. He also fully detailed the costs of engaging his services going forward. As we like the rapport we had with him and the ideas he had presented, we engaged Ben to design our extension and have been thrilled with the results. All drawings were completed on time and within budget and Ben was extremely helpful during the consenting process with the Council. Our builder also made special comment of the high quality of the drawings. We and our builders found it easy to get hold of Ben during the construction process if we had any queries. We have recommended Ben to any of our friends doing building/renovation work and have no hesitation recommending him in this review.”

“Kelly and Cameron assisted us with the design and concept plans of our new build. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted in our home, but how we put it all together and made it work, on our section, was something we needed help with. Kelly and Cameron listened to us and developed a plan we absolutely loved. They came up with ideas we had not considered previously that utilised our spaces perfectly. Always on hand to answer any of our questions, they are an approachable, friendly, professional team that work together very well. We would not hesitate in recommending Inline Architecture. Our experience was faultless – they were a delight to work with.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Aaron from Urban Function to help design my dream home. I had been thinking about and planning what I wanted for years, but it wasn't until Aaron got on board and we began discussing my wants and needs that things really started to take shape. He provided a full end-to-end service, including countless design iterations and revisions as we fine tuned things to exactly as I wanted, right through to many on-site meetings helping me decide on fittings and finishes. He really seemed to take a lot of pride in the building and wanted, as much as I did, for it to turn out perfectly for me. I would never hesitate to recommend Aaron and Urban Function to anyone wanting to building their dream home. The attention to detail and flexibility with ensuring the clients desires are met are what really made the whole experience a very enjoyable one. I often find myself thinking how much I would like to do it all again! But for now we are more than happy in our dream home and will be for many years to come.”

“We found Darren really easy to communicate with, he was always there to give us an answer. He updated us when anything happened and worked fast for us. Would highly recommend to our family and friends. William and Monie Chhour”
