For Homeowners
1:1 Advisory Session
(A Done-With-You Service)
The 1:1 Advisory Session is perfect for those of you who:
-Do not want to go ahead with full architectural services. I will work alongside you and guide you with my professional design advice, and then you can use your own draftsperson and/or builder to execute the rest of your home renovation or new build.
-Would like to save money on done-for-you full project architectural and interior design services, while still having access to professional advice and expertise from an architect
-Would like to minimise the risk of wrong decisions or expensive design mistakes by receiving the reassurance and guidance of an architect - especially when you don’t know what you don’t know to what’s done in the industry
-Would like to stop the overwhelm of decision-fatigue and receive clarity to help with decision making on a home authentic to them, especially when you have gathered hundreds of images with no strategy and have asked everyone’s opinions and ideas for your project.
-Prefer to take matters in your own hands and to have the confidence to brief a draftsman or builder to take your design to the next level.
-Love being hands-on and resourceful, love researching
-Would like to work with your own draftsman, builder or draw up your own plans. (Contacts of my recommendations will be provided upon request)

What we can discuss in the session:
Vision: We will go through the right questions to ask yourself and create a vision board together with imagery and key words, so that you’re not overwhelmed with collecting hundreds of Pinterest images, with no sense of direction or cohesive style.
Approvals: Receive guidance on finding out site limitations and opportunities, building codes, dealing with council and what to do next with the information. I have a town planner on my team who I consult, who also works for Willoughby Council and sits on the panel of planning representatives in the Kuring-Gai Council.
Floor Plan Layout Reviews: I will review your floor plans during the workshop and provide professional advice on areas you are unclear of, and spaces that I don’t see working.
Details: We will workshop heights widths and minimum distances, so that you can achieve the right circulation, flow, and functional design outcomes.
Materials and Products Selection: We will workshop colours, textures, fixtures, fittings, tiles etc.
Lighting & Ceiling Plans: We will workshop lighting plan layouts, lighting types, switching and power outlet locations.
