Green Design

We finished a major renovation recently, and cannot speak highly enough of Green Design.In the first phase they patiently helped us work through our very vague ideas through to various iterations of the final design - they were great at listening to what we wanted.In the detailed design phase their knowledge of all the aspects of architecture was really confidence inspiring, including knowledge of council / fire / insulation codes, aspect / weather / passive thermal considerations, material selection, electrical, plumbing, joinery, drainage planning, even communication with neighbours, they were impressively professional and knowledgeable.And throughout the building phase we kept them on to advise / informally project manage. This was definitely money well spent, as they worked really cooperatively with our builders to help us navigate the complex business of a fixed-price reno, communicate all the complexities, and help us resolve the details which cropped up along the way.And the final result is wonderful. We would describe the finished house as really liveable - spaces aren’t cramped nor are they oversized. We never felt pressured into building stuff we didn’t need, nor do we wish they’d talked us into adding extras. Discussing financial aspects / constraints never felt awkward. They listened to us throughout, have designed a very clever house that’s fits our needs well, and which we can now comfortably enjoy without feeling like we’re living in an exhibit.As said, can’t sing their praises highly enough!!
