Home Extensions in Winmalee.

“I think what makes Jaime Brennan such a great architect is that he truly listens. He has delivered what we asked for, actually our home is more beautiful than we imagined. He knows his stuff so we got through Council quickly, which isn't typical of a strawbale development application in the Blue Mountains. The home that we have built together is beautiful, practical and comfortable. Jaime has project managed for us and we have stayed within budget. There has been a lot to handle and throughout the build Jaime has been a great communicator. He has often suggested alternatives that made our home more comfortable, practical, environmentally appropriate or more economical to build and we are so grateful for that. Jaime also helped us select a great builder. We couldn't be happier with our experience and we are really excited to move in to our home in a few weeks time.”

“In mid 2012 we engaged Daniel to design our new family home. We were after a very modern home that would meet our growing family needs & maximize the potential water views our block of land had to offer. Daniel's first concept plan required minimal changes. His ideas & design exceeded our expectations. He was very easy to communicate with & handled the council DA lodgement process with ease. Our new home was built & completed in 2014 and the compliments from family, friends, neighbours & strangers reiterate that we made the best decision to use Daniel from Adan Creative Designs! We are loving our dream home. Tam & Brendan - Tennyson Point NSW”

“Our projects involve(d) home improvements and additions, so relatively modest compared to some other works Martin has been involved in. The first one was around 15 years ago and we have been doing various things since: the date below merely states one of the more recent projects. Initially, I wanted to do a lot of research myself, project manage the thing and handle builders, as well as council. We did speak with some builders, but part of the way in, I realised the complexity of it and the fact we would lose oversight very quickly. We approached Martin first around 2000 and, on a Sunday, he visited us to discuss our ideas which, other than having some global notion of what we wanted to achieve, were not clear cut. Martin was able to translate our ideas into concrete plans and understandable language and took the whole burden of management off our hands. This first project was to design and build a fourth bedroom, walk in wardrobe and full bathroom, separate shower and spa bath, as well as a toilet. Space was our enemy, due to a 5 meter high rock face restricting expansion capability, as well as access for machinery. All of this was taken into consideration and, as our plans developed, we gained a good understanding of why certain design features were done the way they were. We saw a true professional at work with indepth knowledge and skills in his field, which is displayed in every detail of his work. We were kept informed about the stages and had regular meetings. Martin pro-actively managed the builders, tradespeople and all administrative aspects, such as council requiremetns ect. He is meticulous and extremely easy to get along with: we have always felt completely comfortable in letting him manage our projects. This year will see a further uprgade, this time a kitchen revamp, skylights installation and a possible extension of a suspended concrete slab (about 2.8m above undulated, rocky ground) to allow for a larger garage/workshop area. This particularly, requires some clever engineering and design and for us, the choice is simple: we will never embark on this, or any other project without Martin's full involvement from the beginning.”

“I & K Dezzine, have been great to work with. They have provided a professional & reliable service, I found Ashwin to understand my ideas and take pride in my project, like it was his own. Ashwin has been very pleasant to work with, I look forward to my next project. Thanks I & K Dezzine.”

“Ross Young designed our two storey extension - garage below, bedroom ensuite and walk in wardrobe above. I can thoroughly recommend Ross's work. I have an 1920s very basic timber cottage built originally as a kiosk and refreshment place with only minimal residence capacity. We were keen to not overawe or clash with this existing historical if modest little house, nor to impose on the neighbour's sun. Ross's extension is both sympathetic and marries so well with the old building while at the same time it is practical and beautiful with clean, elegant lines. He is very easy to work with and is a very good listener so the result is a very pleasing creation which is also incorporates all the things we needed for living. The extended house sits beautifully in the streetscape and as there is a park across the road we were mindful of not imposing too much on the landscape. Finally, we are in a flame zone area and Ross is very good are negotiating with the council which helped enormously. I am thrilled with the resulting building!”

“Mikes attention to detail is second to none. He was able to show us exactly what our finished project would end up with 3D modelling. Very professional, very satisfied.”
