TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Stephanie is a joy. She’s flexible and open to ideas. She’s intuitive and has a beautiful eye for detail.”

We live in the same area as Stephanie and had always admired her house – it’s so interesting with a number of beautiful sections. It was natural that we thought of Stephanie when we decided to renovate.

We started the project with a Design Ideas Workshop. It was great to brainstorm ideas and discuss things like light, privacy and street aspect.

“The whole process was really fun, and we can’t recommend Skyring Architects enough.”

Skyring Architects was recommended to us by a landscape architect we were consulting. We had decided to undertake a fairly comprehensive renovation: transforming our two bedroom post-war cottage into a more contemporary house.

From the start, we found Stephanie to be open and transparent. She listened closely, and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. She never made assumptions, and would ask clarifying questions if she wasn’t sure about something. As a result, Stephanie seemed to really ‘get’ our sense of style and how we wanted to live in our new house.

“Our house now captures the afternoon breezes, it is filled with light and has the most beautiful spaces which totally suit the way we live.”

When looking for an Architect, Skyring Architects stood out in terms of their ethos, flexibility and design work.

We’ve used Architects in the past, but felt the process was one sided and there was very little collaboration – as a result we weren’t happy with the end result.
However with Stephanie, I felt that we had a lot of input, which was so refreshing because I enjoy the design process and was keen to be involved.

“Skyring Architects. What a breath of fresh air!”

We have friends who’ve had disappointing experiences with architects – some of whom seemed oblivious to budget constraints, didn’t listen and expected our friends to throw out all their existing furniture and start again. Stephanie was the complete opposite. From the start, she took great care to understand OUR requirements and ideas. She was mindful of our budget – instead of…

“It was just a delight working with Skyring Architects. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

Throughout, Stephanie was professional, flexible, versatile and a breeze to work with. Stephanie consults everyone and she LISTENS. She works well with the builders and…

“Quite simply, we had the most brilliant outcome with Skyring Architects. “

I’ve always believed you can’t have a project come in on time, on budget, and with awesome results, but Stephanie made it all happen!

We’ve never really considered working with an Architect

“Neill and I are so happy we approached Stephanie Skyring.”

I love design and Neill works in the construction industry, so we were keen to do a lot of the work ourselves and only needed the initial design plans done by an Architect. We knew we didn’t want a full Architectural service as we wanted to run the project. However, we knew we needed the design support of a professional.

Skyring Architects offers this support through their great Design Ideas Workshop service –you can tap into their skills where you need them. It’s brilliant…

“Skyring Architects completely transformed our living spaces. We are thrilled with the end result!”

“With four teenagers, we approached Skyring Architects with a brief to ‘please give us more space’!
Our house was boxed in and dark, and while we had little idea what to do, Stephanie nailed it from the start. Our house now flows freely out to the garden and our kitchen and living room open to a beautiful side deck, where we…

“Working from an ordinary base, Stephanie came up with a very workable design concept for our office. It is now a space we’re now proud to share with our clients and colleagues.”

We quickly developed a good working relationship with Stephanie and her team, and we’re very happy with the results. Our office space was

“It’s not always easy finding a talented Architect who allows you to dip into their skills like Stephanie does.”

I work in Real Estate and have always enjoyed renovating and project managing the build – it’s the design part that we need to outsource.

We commissioned Stephanie to complete our sketch designs and the results were fantastic. Stephanie just has an innate sense of where to position the house – knowing the direction of the prevailing winds in a suburb for example.

“I found the whole Design Ideas Workshop process fantastic. With Stephanie’s help, I saved time and money.

I saw Stephanie’s work in the Brisbane News and was really impressed with her aesthetic and environmental focus. I had designed and planned my own renovation. The plans were ready, but once I started working on the specifications, I admit I felt a little overwhelmed. I felt I need the professional input of an Architect, so engaged Stephanie.

Stephanie has written a brilliant DIY guide, which I used throughout the planning process. I then engaged Stephanie for a period of 4 hours, during which time…

“The Design Ideas Workshop is an excellent service and exceptional value for what you get.”

My husband and I had been working on renovation plans for our 1930s home for a few years. We didn’t want a full architectural service because we both wanted to manage the project and be part of the process. We felt however that we needed the advice of an Architect to ensure we had covered all options in our designs.

We researched Skyring Architects after seeing them mentioned in a Sustainability Magazine and were impressed with the flexibility of their services…
