When you work with us, you'll experience a clear, open process from first conversation to move-in day.
From Our Clients
"Working with Don was a truly professional affair with loads of laughter and fun thrown in.
His attention to detail and ability to create functional spaces whilst sparing nothing on design quality and elegance ticked all the boxes for our home renovation. Drawing inspiration from the mid-century and seamlessly blending it into our 1930s bungalow paying homage to the original building whilst providing the modern style and functionality we needed and, sticking to our budget, really did show his skill and experience. His communication, planning, and engagement with contractors were above and beyond which went a long way to making the whole experience stress-free and on time!"
Highly recommend, 5 stars! - Mike and Heather Gray
"For the duration of our build project Site Architecture consistently exceeded our high expectations, from both perspectives of architectural design and professional working relationship. Don achieved every single item in my three pages of design requests, delivering even more than my imagination could dream up, the end result being a quirky and classy, modest sized home with maximum capacity for function and enjoyable living. There is no redundant space but plenty of space for relaxation, the house seamlessly flows between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the beauty of the natural environment around us has been captured at every opportunity.
As importantly as the physical outcome, Don’s expertise and advice was invaluable. Throughout our journey Don’s accessibility, open communication, and dedication to helping us achieve our goals within our budget ensured we always felt protected, reassured and enjoyed our build process from conception to completion."

"I’ve worked alongside a lot of architects over the years, and Site Architecture is one of the most practical firms I’ve dealt with. From a service trades perspective, that makes a huge difference.
Don doesn’t just focus on making designs look good he also genuinely cares about how the spaces are going to function and feel for the people living in them day to day. That balance between great design and real-world practicality is rare.
Always professional to deal with, well thought out, and clearly passionate about delivering quality homes that are both visually impressive and enjoyable to live in."

"Don & Andy are a great team and I would strongly recommend Site Architecture. Working with them is a pleasure, and communication is one of their strong suits, which makes everything easier. Keep up the great work!"
Corban
"We had a great experience working with Don from Site Architecture.
Don explained everything clearly and in plain language, which made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. He was open, honest, and patient throughout, and most importantly he really listened to what we wanted and adapted the design to suit our needs.
Don also made several thoughtful suggestions that we never would have considered ourselves, and these genuinely enhanced the final outcome.
We’re really pleased with the end result and would happily recommend Don to anyone looking for an architect who is easy to work with and genuinely cares about the outcome."
