Testimonials

Chris designed the renovation to our mid century pettit and sevitt place in loftus. We really wanted to keep the timeless mid century lines and iconic architecture of the era, but we also wanted something modern. At our site we had to contend with BAL-FZ bushfire rating so it was never going to be a copy and paste design for Chris.

We are so glad that we had Chris on our side, he walked us though the compliance issues with BAL-FZ, worked with us to come up with a design that suited our family needs as well as kept the mid century design aspects that we desired. We couldn't be happier with the result and honestly believe the money we spent on great design saved us thousands in the build process.

I recommend Chris to friends and family regularly.

Chris of Ironbark Architecture led us through the design process of our first floor extension and garden studio. We enjoyed how Chris prepared our plans for DA submission so much we extended his scope to include construction drawings, submission for CC and tendering for a builder.

Before consulting Chris we’d asked some friends in the design/building profession to suggest ways we could solve our growing family’s building needs. No matter which way we looked at it, our existing home seemed to have an unsolvable building problem. Once Chris came on board he immediately identified a solution we had never considered and offered a location for the troubling stairs that we didn’t want to compromise our existing floor space.

We were particularly impressed to see how Chris would remember our ‘on the fly’ conversations, incorporating them into the next documentation phase only days later. Chris consistently showed incredible attention to detail and we were impressed how he kept anticipating our next query. We never needed to chase Chris and the energy he poured into the project’s design made us feel that our project was special.

We now have a detailed plan to build a much better home than we could have envisaged and thanks to Chris we’ve also signed up with a builder we feel confident in.

I have completed two separate projects - one residential and one commercial - with Chris from Ironbark and could not be happier with the process and results of both. So talented, organised and driven, yet also humble and approachable, Chris is an absolute pleasure to work with and genuinely loves what he does.
