Designpoint Architecture

Style, Vision, Light, Structure, Form

Interesting, and thought provoking words don’t you think?

As a designer these are forefront in my mind whenever I am shown a new project. Each new site is an exciting challenge, and every client I work with has different likes, loves, and dislikes.

Being a good designer is about having the vision, and the experience to create your landscape design, but most importantly designers need to listen to our clients, and create a garden for them – to facilitate their vision, while ensuring that the landscaping enhances and compliments their house design, as well addressing practical issues such as privacy, environment and accessibility.

With this in mind, my design process is to have an initial onsite consultation with you, then provide you with a written brief document outlining our discussions for clarification, as well as providing plant types, and landscaping finishes, and style for your consideration. Once I have your feedback, I can create a concept design sketch – hand drawn of your site.

We then sit down together and discuss this, making any changes. From this I can create a detailed landscape plan for pricing, and for a landscaping crew to work off. I can arrange quotes for you, recommend trades, and project manage your landscaping.

You may not need a detailed planting plan, and may simply need an onsite consultation with ‘brief”. This is sometimes the case especially if clients have an existing garden that needs inspiration, or has some problem areas.

Established in 2000, we have a strong reputation for getting the design right first time by correctly interpreting our clients brief and working to their budget. You can trust our integrity; we will be honest and straightforward in all our dealings with you.

You will find us friendly and knowledgeable. We will listen carefully to your design brief and budget, and work together with you to achieve the style and vision that you want for your home. You will receive typed copies of all notes taken during design meetings to ensure we have all your thoughts and requirements accurately recorded.

With Designpoint, the design process will be a positive, enjoyable experience for you.

Dealing with council can seem a daunting prospect to most however we have spend a lot of time working with councils over the years and will prepare and lodge your building consent applications and handle all council queries efficiently to get your project through council process as quickly as possible for you.

We believe great architecture is about, not only the external appearance of the building, but the internal spatial experience, the use of light and form. The careful use and mix of materials and the considered detailing of junctions can add elegance to the simplest forms.

Our buildings are always designed with the context of their environment in mind and maintain a strong relationship with the site.
