“Richard designed a wonderful, stylish ,home for us. We trusted him implicitly and he delivered !!. Not only is he talented, but he is an excellent communicator and helped us with our choices down to the finest detail. Building a house is stressful, but Richard was always there to reassure us . Thanks for a wonderful process. Carole and Neil Wright Hora Hora Road Waikato”

“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.”

“Rogan Nash have undertaken extensive redesign of the main living areas on our character Stucco Bungalow in Remuera. The latest project, currently underway is a complete revamp of the Lounge and dining room. This has involved advice on room layouts and colour scheme, selection and procurement of furniture, lighting, new fireplaces, shutters etc and liaison with sub-contractors. All work has been carried out to our complete satisfaction.”

“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.”

“We had our entire house remodeled by the team at DJH Renovations. The transformation was more than we hoped for and it felt like stepping back into a new house. Like any big project there were some up and downs but the DJH Renovation team got everything sorted and up to a great standard. Special thanks to Rebecca for her amazing organizational skills, Dominic for managing the process and the council, Dan the builder and team for all their hard work and attention to detail, Austin for the best tiling work I have ever seen and Ian for keeping the electrics safe and running during the renovation.”

“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”

“When we first approached Tonia Williams at Oarsom Creative we had a good idea of what we wanted; an efficient home with a small footprint to be achieved on a limited budget. We were happy not to rush the design process and so over the next few weeks we met with Tonia several times defining and re-defining what would become the plan of our new home. Thanks to Tonia's creative genius, we have achieved more than we ever could have on our own. Tonia is a great listener; we felt that she really 'got' us and was easily able to take what we were trying to describe and enhance it so that the end result both delighted and exited us. In our opinion, Tonia is the person to help you find more than you thought possible!”

“We have recently completed our house renovations. From our first consultation on site, Alliance Architecture came up with exactly what we had in mind. From the initial drawings, to dealing with the council and their requirements; and the professionalism and their ability to meet deadlines was unsurpassed. And in our case they went beyond their scope of work, for without their skill factor and foresight, we don't think our renovations would have been completed to what we have now. We would be most happy to elaborate if so required.”
