“Anne is a very practical person who is not afraid to take on a challenge—she’s got a makers mind which means she sees and thinks about things differently from other architects”

Anne’s practicality is what makes her so different from other architects—she has building knowledge, and building skills, and can collaborate with all trades. She has incredible design resolution but at the same time considers how the design will be physically built. 

Anne’s architectural pedigree is very high—she has been mentored and taught by one of Australia’s leading architects, Peter Stutchbury. Anne’s understanding of high-level architecture is immediately apparent in her work. Her experience and skills mean she can move the process along quickly without sacrificing quality. 

She genuinely loves being on-site and in the action. I love working with Anne because she just gets it. She puts ideas into 3D form and 3D architectural drawings. Detail-orientated, Anne closely unpacks and assesses every brief. She also has a really high level of documentation and research thoroughness. She doesn’t miss a beat.

“We've worked with a lot of architects in Sydney—but we’ve never come across an architect as thorough as Anne”

We were thrilled with the way Anne handled all the paperwork and the approval application process. When it came to dealing with council - she was exceptional. Anne had every T crossed every I dotted, there was nothing that they could falter. It made the project move forward so much quicker than expected. It all felt very easy.

The project was a major renovation - we wanted to transform our two-story beach shack weekender into our home. Being retired, we had a budget and we wanted to stick to it. We were a little apprehensive about working with an architect, however, we are SO glad we hired Anne. She understood our stage of life and remained aware of costs throughout the entire process.

Anne was so warm and friendly. We felt at ease straight away. She was very approachable and really listened to us. In terms of her design, she was spot on and thought of everything. We are really happy with what she came up with. Anne created a beautiful, very well-considered home for us - our home is now so full of natural light and brings us so much joy.

“Anne has a natural ability to marry practicality and quality—and she’s so lovely to deal with”

Anne is different from other architects. She doesn’t have an inflated ego, instead, she is humble, immerses herself in the problem, and openly accepts all feedback.  She really listened to me—she was supportive of all my ideas and never pushed her own agenda.  Anne’s humility combined with exceptional technical skills meant was able to look at a problem from all sides and present a solution that not only looked good but was very practical. 

Anne made the entire design process very enjoyable. Unlike other architects she doesn’t sit inside an office coming up with abstract ideas, instead, she is on-site, with our builders and at times on the tools herself. 

During the process, we had a couple of things that needed to be addressed very quickly. Anne was ridiculously responsive—she just got in there and took action straight away. This was particularly valuable as time equals money.

Anne is a rare find. She’s humble, skilled, and brilliant at what she does.
