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.

We ended up going with Stephanie Skyring’s Design Ideas Workshop, a 3 or 4 hour session in which you can ‘tap into’ her knowledge and skills as an Architect.

We were impressed with Stephanie from the start. Stephanie has a great sustainable ethic, she’s conscious of using existing materials on site and she intrinsically knows a myriad of things like where to position windows to capture the breeze. During the session, we worked through a range of scenarios and Stephanie was able to answer all our questions. I ended the session with complete confidence that we had the best plans possible. Stephanie even threw in her DIY Design Guide book which provides general advice and a list of her trusted contacts.”

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

functional, but was basically a box like structure with a series of wasted spaces and limited aesthetic interest. We now have more usable space, storage and utility and an office with greater visual connectivity between outside and in – making it an open and well-lit space in which to work. Rather than working in a bland box like office, we’re now surrounded by a space that’s more functional, and far more aesthetically pleasing and interesting.
