Hi Eliska
We just wanted to tell you what a wonderful test our home has had over Christmas and New Year. We have had a house full of people for a month. Christmas day we had 35 for dinner and for most meals over that week we had 20 – 30 people. The house worked brilliantly both for sleeping and relaxing. The pool and courtyard were in constant use. Having so many outside doors to each part of the house meant the flow of traffic was so easy. There was always somewhere for a quiet read, or the den for music, or the young kids to play or watch a video. The house kept very cool during the hot days and there was always a sunny spot to enjoy. As well as the family we have had lots of visitors just calling in and they are all impressed with the detail and finish of the house. So thank you so much.

We are forever grateful to Eliska for her guidance and creativity, which saw us turn a long term dream of building our home in Wanaka into reality. Eliska has resided in the Southern Lakes for much of her career, which has given her a unique perspective on designing architecture, which is both complimentary and sympathetic to a unique landscape.
I believe Eliska takes great pride in delivering a product which balances architectural integrity with the long term day to day needs of the client. Her attention to detail, particularly with the interior design, not only invites a sense of style but also optimises functionality in every space.
With so many decisions to make when building an architectural home, a strong relationship with the architect is critical. Eliska always maintained an excellent balance between putting forward her creative ideas and listening to the needs and wants of the client. She was always easily contactable and utilised the latest 3D software, which allowed us to share in each step of the design process, while away from New Zealand.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Eliska Lewis Architects to any future clients and would also like to thank both Eliska and Julia for their tireless efforts in delivering us a beautiful home.
