We were recommended Sketch by a friend and couldn’t be happier with the design and support they’ve given us. We had a 1950’s house and were, at first, looking to principally expand upstairs to provide space for our growing family. We met with Darrin and Chris to go through our ideas and objectives, and they came up with a fantastic concept, which expanded our renovation to meet ideas we originally thought we would tackle in future years. All this while still maximising the existing structure so as not to add too much cost.
We also got Sketch to draft electrical and interior design plans

The total experience with Sketch was faultless. Our project was a very challenging one. We needed an architect that could work with our wishes and make the process as easy as possible. We expected this process to be emotional, challenging and exhausting however Sketch took us on an easy journey from step to step. Their support throughout the entire process from scope to, plans, to meeting with the council, to meeting with neighbors and helping us choosing the best and appropriate builder. I would engage Sketch again and recommend them to anyone taking on a new build or renovation of their property

Overall we were really impressed with Sketch and wouldn't hesitate to recommended them to others. For context, we had a complex brief - design a large family home, on a very small inner Melbourne block, with an existing heritage overlay and a relatively conservative construction budget.
Sketch was great from the start, working around the site constraints and incorporating our wishes and ideas into the design. Sketch has an in-house town planner and this showed in their ability to navigate Council and the site's heritage overlay and get the overall design approved with minimal changes.

We have had the great privilege of working on a number of Sketch Designs. Darrin and the team at Sketch are great communicators and always available to assist throughout he build if required. We have found that the designs created for their clients are on brief and specific to each individuals tastes and needs. They take great care in the design to ensure both form and function are considered. Our feed back from clients is that they work with them from initial discussions though to handing over to a select group of builders. We feel proud to be one of those preferred builders.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I engaged Sketch for the design of a townhouse development several years ago and was extremely impressed with their design skills, responsiveness and value for money. I have since worked with several members of the Sketch team on several other projects and can't speak highly enough of them.

The team at Sketch undertook the massive task of helping to design our dream home. As part of this we knocked down the front 3/4 of the existing home and built a 2 story in its place.
We are thrilled with what Sketch created. They listened to what we wanted, integrated in our requests, brought some good ideas to the table and ultimately were really enjoyable to work with.
