“Kate's used her professional's knowledge and experience in renovating small spaces to create a kitchen plan that makes the best use of space, is functional and looks great. The Concept design plan was innovative, beautiful and created elements that I hadn't previously considered. I'm looking forward to working with Kate to compete the renovation.”

“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.”

“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.”

“This job was for a renovation on a Victorian villa. We needed an elevated deck integrated into the design as well as converting the downstairs basement area into an ensuite. The design team were very sensitive to our requirements and also the architectural integrity of the villa. I had excellent service from this company and would not hesitate in using them again. They were very professional in all respects. Many thanks.”

“Refresh were given the job of dragging a kicking and screaming 1970's brick and tile home into the 21st century. They did this, and the house now looks amazing! The renovation essentially meant a complete makeover and this was accomplished over a 3 month period. Slightly over budget, principally electrical work, but as a percentage of the total spend, only 2%. Dominic and Rebecca were ever the professionals, keeping everything on track with tradesmen and the council. Rebecca's background as a designer certainly helped and Dominic's control of the stress alleviated a lot of headaches. To Dan the builder man and his guys, well done! Nothing was ever a problem with his crew.”

“Loved the plans Borijian drew for me. Easy to follow. Cost effective to build. He is a professional man who communicates well. Kylie designed my kitchen and entertaining area which I absolutely love”
