Nathalie Scipioni Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2016
“I hired Nathalie at NS Studio to complete our renovation project and project manage our build. She was so hands on and always there to help me with advice and any queries. I would highly recommend her, she is very well connected and had some great ideas. Nathaie's interior design skills were an added bonus when furnishing the inside of the house aswell.”
Ukalovic Design
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2015
“Ukalovic Design is an architectural drafting service and is owned and operated by Jay Ukalovic. We were referred to Jay by a prominent building company in Newcastle last year. Jay earned the right to do our design work after a basic tender process where we received proposals from 3 designers/draftsman. What struck us immediately was Jay's manner and disposition. He handled his first meeting with professionalism and care and demonstrated a keen willingness to listen carefully to what we wanted out of our design. The journey we have been on together is now at DA stage and we could not be happier. Jay has quickly worked through all variations and iterations of what we needed to see on paper so that we could consider all options. The quality of his work is outstanding and he has a wonderful way of making us feel like we are his number one client. My wife and I are extremely happy to refer Ukalovic Design to anyone who needs a professional, caring and responsive relationship with one of the most important contractors in the design and build space - your designer.”
CplusC Architects + Builders
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 March 2013
“There are many reasons why we are glad we chose CplusC over other architects. Firstly, their natural and balanced aesthetic strongly appeals to us and we are genuinely pleased and impressed with the quality of the construction of our home. Secondly, and as importantly, CplusC are both designers and builders. This has the advantage of avoiding disagreements between architects and builders, which meant a less difficult building process and minimises the unexpected costs that inevitably arise. Thirdly, CplusC are environmentally clever designers and builders: they design to minimise wasted construction materials; and their design and the materials they used means our ongoing expenses are reduced (we only need to turn the heater on for three or so weeks in the year, and don't use air conditioning, instead enjoying cross-breezes). CplusC have built us a beautiful home that our children will grow up in and we are happy to recommend them.”
Zugai Strudwick Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 November 2013
“As a builder that has constructed several projects for ZSA, I can highly recommend their architectural services. Their designs and working drawings are always thoroughly though out making the building process efficient and effective. ZSA have a firm understanding of the cost of building which sets them apart from the rest. They have excellent spacial awareness and knowledge of construction which is critical to a good design. Every client that I have shared with ZSA (more than 10) would highly recommend their services.”
Architelle Architecture & Interior Design
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 March 2016
“We engaged Margaret Skilbeck to help us with a major renovation and extension of our family home in Warrawee. Architelle was recommended by a local builder who gave us the names of a few architects that work in the Area. He told me Margeret Skilbeck was conversant with Kuringai council regulations and her turnaround time in submitting work was also good. We were very happy with the design and final result. One of the best things we did was engage Margeret to supervise the building project which included weekly site meetings. it took away a lot of the stress involved in building work. She gave us very good advise along the way and helped in choosing materials and fittings. She was professional, capable, efficient and very pleasant and we have no hesitation in recommending Her. She was able to work well with the builders & coordinate the other professionals. Her fees were reasonable and good value.”
Designed By Catherine Finlay
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 March 2018
“I have used Catherine twice now. Three years ago for a full renovation of a cottage, and this year to renovate the laundry and kitchen in an Art Deco apartment. Catherine is easy to work with, has great ideas and I have found her recommendations for trades people very reliable. She is pragmatic, and has brought both projects in on time and on budget.”

“Darren is an absolute pleasure to work with and is an architect that listens to the clients requirements and then adds all the style and creativity that only an excellent architect can do. His ability to work through complex details and his knowledge of building materials and construction generally is brilliant and we love working with him.

“As a practicing building designer with my own studio, I engaged Neche Page for a specialist consultation earlier this year on a matter where we were looking for certain expertise. I found her not only professional and knowledgeable, but an authentically creative thinker. Can highly recommend her, especially for renovations and extensions to family homes.”
David Baillie Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 August 2016
“I am the builder responsible for David's projects in Mosman and Naremburn and having spent some time working with him I think I can safely say that he is one the best architects I have worked with. His approach is very team focussed which means that as problems arise they are discussed and dealt with promptly, always in consultation with the client. His emphasis on environmental solutions means that the projects are always energy efficient and well thought out and his demeanour is always upbeat and positive. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking to complete a renovation or extension of their home. Neil Elleson Ellipse Building.”
Benedict Design
Architects & Building Designers in Crows Nest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2015
“Ben helped produced photo montage images for my house and proposed driveway at Dellview Street, Tamarama. Not only is Ben a talented designer he is also very approachable and easy to work with. The quality of his work helped us visualise the floor plans and driveway landscape. I can not look at a floor plan now without wanting to see Ben's photo montage perspective to bring the plan to life.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality.

Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property.

How do I find the best Crows Nest, NSW, 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.

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.
