OUR
CLIENTS
Hear from the people that we’ve worked with and helped them achieve their dream home.
-
We loved our home, but Dennis helped us fall back in love with it. The renovation honoured the original design but gave us what we actually needed as a family.

Dennis guided us through a very complex heritage approval. His drawings, patience and communication made all the difference.
Woodend Heritage Renovation

'Dennis’s ideas and vision from early on met our brief well, but he was also flexible when we wanted to adjust elements of the design. The quality of his drawings were excellent and he went the extra mile to help cut through the building approval process.’
Ben & Leesa Carlton

‘Nothing was ever too much trouble for Dennis. His communication was exceptional throughout. Our experience from beginning to end was enjoyable and he was as enthusiastic about our home as us. We couldn’t recommend Dennis highly enough.’
