Custom Home Services in Batley, Northland

“Daniel is a visionary. Each of his buildings has it's own unique identity. He positioned our property perfectly on the existing piece of land and kept to our brief that the house appear to meld into its surroundings and yet be on a grand scale. One of our key requests was for a large garage to accommodate our cars, but we didn't want a face a large bank of garage doors as we drove into our home. Our architect designed the doors around a courtyard, cleverly disguising them so that they are seemingly part of a wall. He also listened to our requests and accommodated them where he could within the restrictions of our land and height to boundary. He was able to convince us that where the ceilings were not as high on the top floor as we originally wanted them to be, this would not be a problem as he had created a "floating" roof. He also helped us with the interior decoration of the home, providing suggestions on colours of walls and flooring. He worked with me on an idea I had for a double height bookshelf, which has become a focal point in the lounge. He even "created" a wonderful wax paneled wall in the dining room that is a unique work of art. There were some miscommunications, mainly centered around the kitchen and the wardrobes that I had very specific ideas about. If I were to start all over again, I would probably consider using a kitchen designer to work with me on my requirements. At the end of the day, however, I am happy with the end result, just not quite the trauma of getting there. The result is a home that fulfills all our needs and more, and is a pleasure to live in and I would highly recommend this firm and it's architects to anyone.”

“We had an amazing experience working with Nala Studio Architects for the design and building consent of our new home. They were friendly, attentive, and really took the time to understand our needs and preferences. The end result is a beautiful and functional home design that we absolutely love. We would highly recommend Noor and Nala Studio Architects to anyone looking for a residential architect in New Zealand. Their attention to detail, creativity, and expertise made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Thank you, for helping to create our dream home!”

“As a building firm, we have been renovating homes in Auckland for 23 years. During that time, we have worked with numerous architects. However, Graeme Wrack is by far and away our "top man". As a designer, he is truly gifted. He alters all styles of houses so that they not only look right, but suit their family needs. As a professional, he is an excellent listener, is unflappable and makes projects flow smoothly. We wish all architects were like him. Hans and Wendy.”

“Four Walls Architecture designed a large contemporary home for us on a site situated in Westmere, Auckland. They carried out the conceptual design work, assisted with the resource consent application and completed the detailed design and building consent application. Our brief was quite specific in regards to the general look we were trying to achieve, the size and layout of the home, the use of low maintenance materials and a high degree of energy efficiency. The design process was a very pleasant experience and Four Walls was always open to discussing any ideas or opinions we had and incorporating them into the design accordingly. The home is currently being built and it is great seeing how the ideas are being transformed from plans and computer models to a physical form. The way it is turning out has exceeded our expectations in a number of ways and it is truly turning out to be our dream home! Four Walls has continued to be very helpful and provide assistance to both us and the builder in a timely manner during the building process. I have already recommended them to another family member who is using them for an extensive renovation in Herne Bay and would certainly not hesitate recommending them to anyone else, or to use them again.”

“We used Box to design, subdivide and build a new house for us. We loved the process so much we did it twice! This process is not for the faint hearted but if you're prepared to give it a go, we'd recommend using Box as your partner. We've now lived in our Box home for 5 years and still love it! Nigel & Jean”

“I can not speak highly enough about MDS and their level of professionalism and passion for all things architecture and construction. MDS had a attentive attitude towards my own vision which was supported with respect and enthusiasm. Their experience and value add was present through every aspect of the build from design to completion. If your looking for a team of genuine down to earth good people who design works of art not just an house then I highly recommend you should talk to the team at MDS. Thanks MDS for designing our dream, we can not thank you enough. Cheers Steve”

“Robin O'Donnell and his team ensure that they have a through understanding of their clients' brief, delivering excellent design work while also paying appropriate regard to budget constraints. They are also adept at finding pragmatic solutions to the range of issues that present themselves on every project, and build positive relationships with contractors which greatly assists the whole process.”

“We sought to bring coffee roasting out of the warehouse and into an engaging showroom type setting where we could utilise the venue for both education and day to day espresso bar functions. As we'd worked with Glamuzina Architects three times previously on a coffee roastery & two espresso bars that we were very happy with they were our natural choice on our largest project to date. What has made our sites so successful was the ability of Dominic & team to listen and comprehend our goals, but then envision intellectually stimulating yet aesthetically pleasing & pragmatic designs that pushed both myself and our customers out of our comfort zones but to positive affect. This focus, when soo much hospitality design is regurgitated pinterest boards, is why we keep coming back.”

“Evoke Developments have used AJ Sutton from MA Studio a number of times now and he continues to deliver outstanding results. For us design is paramount but this needs to be balanced with commercial sense and AJ gets that. AJ is an integral part of the Evoke Developments team and we look forward to working with him again soon.”

“Lisa and I engaged 9Design Environments in 2014 as architects for the renovation of our run down home in Auckland. Documentation was provided cost efficiently and on time, and during the build all site inspections undertaken on schedule. Shannon and her colleagues were friendly, approachable and professional and worked well with our builder. Most importantly, during the design stages, Shannon was open to our ideas, testing them and either giving us a reality check or finding creative and practical ways to make them work. We are very happy with the result.”
