Maria Filardo Architect

Our family first worked with Maria in 2009 on the amazing renovation of our home. Maria's ideas, designs, colors and textures for our new kitchen and living areas are fabulous. We are still enjoying the results today. Now it is 2016 and we are preparing for another substantial renovation of our home and it was a no-brainer to engage Maria again to discuss ideas and draw up all the plans. Again the results are wonderful and we are so excited about putting them into practice with a builder very soon.

Maria is a remarkably gifted designer Architect. She understands space, style and has a passion that's infectious. Maria has solved design problems for me that seemed impossible, and she's solved them with compassion and with remarkable ease. She's professional, talented and has an eye for beautiful design and style. Maria has helped me over the last few years with office and home design, as well as an INCREDIBLE home build for my family in Canberra. Her style is second to none, I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

We engaged Maria to draw up the renovation design for our 1970's family home. She was extremely responsive and worked with us to tailor the design to our needs and was happy to draw up a 'phased approach' (internals, then extension then garage renovations). She incorporated everything we asked for while using her expertise to include clever space saving and functional ideas. She walked us through the entire process, including council approvals, engineers and also liaised directly with the builder when required. Maria is experienced and easy to work with and we absolutely recommend her for any architectural/design works.

A wonderful person with great style. Amazing flair for design, great to have an architect and an interior designer in one, and based right here in Canberra!

Maria provided very creative and workable ideas for our home exterior facelift. We couldn't be happier.

We engaged Maria as our architect for our dream home with a pool in July 2018 after being disappointed with other offerings received elsewhere. We gave her a briefing of what we desired and she came back with amazing concepts providing us with unique designs with exactly what we were looking for. We had no hesitation in moving forward with Maria to build our dream home from the moment we saw the concepts. She was extremely professional, patient and understanding during the whole process and came in to bat for us when we had issues with the builder. We are over the moon with our stunning contemporary design. Not only do we have the sexiest house on the street, but I would go as far as saying the entire suburb. We look forward to many wonderful years in our designer home. A beautiful space that Maria designed for us which suits our needs perfectly. Thank you Maria. xx

Maria is efficient, flexible and seriously talented. She took the time to understand my families needs, including the fur babies ! Maria took into account all aspects of the surrounding environment, my budget and completely got my style.

Maria was recommended to us by our builder. Maria designed our new kitchen & We are over the moon with the results & can’t sing her praises high enough. Easy to work with & passionate & meticulous about her designs. She really maximised every inch of space we had. It’s now a pleasure working in our new kitchenMany thanks Kev & Suz
