Testimonials

"Hamish has done an amazing job for us designing two homes including our current home in The Fjord, Aotea. We have worked with a number of designers over the years but Hamish's designs have always been spot on. Highly recommend"

Vern Floyd

"From the moment I saw the concept I knew he'd nailed it. We didn't change a thing."

- Don Pelvin

"We have engaged HWA for multiple projects now, each has been just as successful. Happy to (and frequently do) recommend HWA"

Lance Jensen

"We found Hamish to be a great listener during the concept phase, capturing all the features that we wanted in our retirement home while maximising our views of Kapiti Island. Hamish quickly came back with a concept plan that we worked on together to make variations with his guidance to develop the concept plan into a home we would be proud to own for many years to come.

He was very patient and accommodating, while working with us as novices to new home building. Our section was quite steep, which was an added challenge as we wanted drive on access including an internal double garage and space to park our large caravan.

Hamish took time to explain the pros and cons of various building options and materials. We found his building knowledge to be extensive and his design skills creative.

Hamish went the extra mile in many ways and on many occasions giving advice on builders and other contractors that he had previous experiences with on other projects. He also submitted our building plans to council and took care of other details that we did not have any idea on.

We highly recommend the services of HWA to design a house that you will be proud to call your home."
