Architectural Design Services in Wellington

“I have worked consistently with Cathy over many years. i have the utmost respect for the work she carries out and manner in which she carries it out. Most recently she has designed new Wellington offices for our company - they are superb and we get a lot of positive feedback from our own people and from visitors - we are now about to use her for our Auckland office.”

“John's help was invaluable in our house repair/renovation, working with him was a pleasure. He brought my design ideas to life and added excellent ones of his own and helped us achieve what we wanted within the confines of our budget. I especially appreciated that he helped us modernise our home while maintaining it's essential character. John worked well with our builder and took the stress of making sure all compliance and paperwork was completed out of our hands while also making sure we ticked all the necessary boxes. He was always quick to respond to our queries, organised, willing to accommodate our schedule and available to answer any technical questions our builder had so that we didn't experience unnecessary delays. We had greater peace of mind throughout the extensive project knowing he was overseeing all the many parts.”

“We had designed our first new home ourselves, but second time around it wasn’t so easy. We had a basic concept in mind, but couldn’t bring it all together and “make it fit”. We chose Mike for two reasons, firstly he’d been recommended by a friend to check him out and we loved the look of his previous designs, and secondly because he’d completed a builder’s apprenticeship. It was important to us that our architect also had practical building knowledge. Mike came back to us with a design that incorporated all the things that we had asked for, but also added some quirky features and design elements that we would never have come up with on our own. He visited us on site, and was always respectful of our preferences and worked hard to pull the whole design together. We would definitely recommend him to others who are looking for a professional, considerate, and innovative architect.”

“We decided to use Robyn, from Essence Design, when she was recommended to us. Robyn was always extremely professional, polite, with a wonderful personality. She is very knowledgeable and we experienced excellent communication throughout the process. We purchased as old industrial building (just a shell really) and wanted work areas for our business and an apartment for living. Robyn listened to our needs and produced a stunning design which was exactly what we had invisioned. We are absolutely thrilled with the result. We would definitely use Robyn (Essence Design) again and highly recommend her to others.”

“Stefan did an amazing job designing the reno for our Kitchen and Lounge area. The package he provided was perfect for bringing to builders for quotes and gave us some great ideas.”

“Our project was a full redesign of kitchen, laundry, bathroom and open spaces in a 1920’s bungalow. Sam brought a very professional approach to the project, blending our ideas with practicalities and incorporating her own unique ideas. She was responsive and steered us to the best solutions in a quite complex environment, and, as older folk, kept us ‘on trend’ with current ideas. We are very pleased with the outcome which very successfully blends traditional with up to date styles and would recommend her to anyone undertaking a similar project.”

“My experience with Lia and her design team has been outstanding. New to renovation, and living overseas, I approached the idea of work on my house with some anxiety. The team at Refresh Renovations talked me through every step, making sure I was comfortable with the process and spending time to find out exactly what I envisioned the end result looking like. Their patience, creativity, clarity and genuine personal investment in the process has made the experience wholly enjoyable. Thank you!”

“We chose James and his team at Mackit because we loved his contemporary modern design style. The team made the process very easy and their detailing, care and attention as both a master builders and architectural designers was exceptional. They were fabulous at listening to our brief, designing and then building our project. The project was delivered to deadline without any unexpected costs to us, something that we’d never experienced with previous design or building projects. The Mackit builders were unfailingly polite, communicated really well and were a pleasure to deal with, especially important with our young family living on-site during the build. The result is brilliant and much better than we envisaged. We frequently refer James and the team at Mackit to our friends and family and wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to design and build any of our future projects.”

“Steve did a great job of coordinating everything. Always easy to contact and quick to fix any issues. He organised the various contractors in a timely practical manner. The project was finished to my timeline provided at the beginning.”

“My husband and I hired Carolyn Walker of Click Architects Ltd to provide architectural services and advice for our house renovation. She assisted us through the whole process from concept designs up to the completion of the project. I found her extremely professional, helpful and her advice timely and accurate. We worked well together and she helped create a renovation that exceeded our hopes and expectations. I would definitely recommend her to potential clients.”
