Unicorn Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Woodend.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 November 2014
“My husband and I worked with Helen Bernard for Unicorn Architecture, over a period of several months, as she developed plans for our house. We found Helen to be very patient and respectful to our wishes, and very professional in her approach. Helen is knowledgeable about sustainable housing and passive solar house design. Her suggestions and advice was helpful, and although we found the whole process stressful, naturally, it was also interesting and enjoyable. After Helen's work was completed, the plans were finalised and it went to building tender, Helen continued to offer suggestions and advice as we navigated the tender process. We are very satisfied with the outcome and very comfortable and happy in our house. It is performing well in all seasons.”

“Extremely happy with the professional advice and prompt responses from Marc and his team at Tarawill Building Design. Communication is excellent, no changes are ever an issue and Marc is always willing to assist. Marc has been able to design and navigate our application through water authority and council approvals for our dual occupancy/townhouse development and all the way up to building documentation. The whole process is made easier with Tarawill Building Design having all required consultants at hand. We highly recommend Marc and his team.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 June 2014
“I had the good fortune to use the services of Tom more than once. First for a grand old Victorian house, Talandoon, in Hawthorn, and then for my present abode, a chalet-type wooden house in Hawthorn again which I have been renovating on and off for 6-7 years. I found Tom always ready and teeming with good ideas, unfailingly patient with my changes of heart, and especially adept at keeping the builders on the straight and narrow. Fabrizio Galimberti June 2012”

How do I find the best Woodend, VIC, AU architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Woodend, VIC, AU that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms.
