“Robert, from 868 Architects, designed our duplex in Paddison Ave, Gymea. The property was of special significance to me as I grew up in the original house, which my father built for his family in the mid 1950's. I wanted to do a project he would be proud of, and 868 Architects delivered that project. Robert was easy to communicate with and designed a beautiful luxury duplex for us. His use of space and light was extraordinary and feedback from every one who viewed the properties was overwhelmingly positive. A job well done. Thanks, Rob.”
