About

We work differently.

We have a great collaborative team

We consult earlier with builders and other experts during design and development to produce thoughtful and considered work of exceptional quality.

We’re all about balance

We create uplifting spaces that surprise and delight, and balance functionality with aesthetics and budget.

Budgets are just as important to us as they are to you
Budgets are a constraint we welcome. Actually, we find constraints of any kind often steer us to find creative, cost-effective ways to meet your vision.

Sydney’s inner city is our forte
Sydney’s inner city is full of charms and challenges. We know ways to make the most from available space, capture natural light, respond to existing character and heritage, and discover the hidden potential that brings personality and joy to all our projects.

We embrace your vision
We help translate your vision into spaces tailored to the way you want to live, work, and play.

Our clients recommend us to others
Our clients are so happy with the work that they recommend us. 80% of our work has been with clients who contacted us after hearing about and seeing our work.

May 2021 Update:
After 8 years of building great foundations and a growing network of collaborators, Paul and Amanda are very excited to announce that Paul (ie. the to-date silent 'P' in PandA) has now officially joined Amanda to help manage projects in all aspects across design and delivery.

Coming full circle after meeting as architecture students in 1999 (Kent Institute of Art and Design, Canterbury, UK), and having since worked at opposite ends of the architectural spectrum, Amanda and Paul are excited now to share the wealth of their combined experience and knowledge with a broad range of current and future projects and clients.

Testimonials

"Amanda's care and quality advice for what we are trying to achieve in our home has been paramount. Always professional in her consultative approach, she's help us navigate through our DA and planning process."

- Rodney Taoa

"My husband and I worked with Amanda on the full renovation of our turn-of-the-last-century worker’s cottage in Camperdown. We were looking for someone to redesign the small space to make it more comfortable and liveable. A creative use of space and light were our number one criteria. 

Amanda was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Her calm approach is thoughtful and collaborative. She guided us every step of the way and produced a creative and quality design. One of the best things we did was engage Amanda to supervise the construction phase including weekly site meetings. She went above and beyond and took away a lot of the stress involved in this phase. She gave us very good advice along the way and proved invaluable in noticing the details that matter. 

The result is a practical, functional and welcoming modern aesthetic with delightful spaces and natural light through out. Exactly what we asked for! We could not have been happier with our experience, the result and the service Amanda provided."

- Suze ing

"We engaged Amanda for the renovation and development of our house in the inner west of Sydney in 2016. Amanda’s creative, thoughtful and consultative approach was an asset to our project from beginning to end. She has a wealth of technical knowledge that was invaluable as we traversed through the trial and tribulations that one navigates in the course of any renovation project. Amanda’s meticulous attention to detail on every aspect of the job was impeccable, from concept through to detailed documentation/council, contract documentation and construction management. We fully trusted and respected her judgement and advice on materials, labour, design and effectiveness. Amanda is resourceful, professional, economical, efficient and passionate about her work and we feel grateful to have had her involvement and support on our first renovation project."

- C. Mast

"I engaged Amanda to design a major, modern extension to our period home, doubling it in size. She was fantastic to work with, taking our concept and turning it into a beautiful and functional design. The modern part of the house connects seamlessly to the old, with both sitting together harmoniously. The design makes great use of the aspect, landscape and natural light, and has been designed for maximum environmental sustainability. 

Amanda has wonderful attention to detail, and managed the builder with confidence and aplomb. She was able to navigate any planning or building hurdles that arose, which left us in the happy position of knowing it was all taken care of. 

We have now been in our house for almost a year and couldn't be happier with the results. We would gladly recommend Amanda as an architect with a professional and meticulous approach, who also has a great design aesthetic."

- Veronica Le Nevez

"Amanda of PandA is a brilliant architect. I am a town planner who worked with her. She was great to work with and was able to grasp the planning issues quickly as well as produce drawings in the form that i had asked and always to a high standard. She also produced a comprehensive set of plans for the Land & Environment Court very quickly, which was outstanding and impressive for all involved and as well it became a great result for the client - actually better than expected ."

- Kim Burrell

"A wonderfully skilled company with great personalised service. I would highly recommend Amanda and her team at PandA Studio to any person looking for quality, architectural work."

- Gavin Stagnitta

"Amanda designed a fantastic home for us. The renovation has more rooms, space and light, yet has a similar footprint to the previous building."

- Matt Jessimer

"As a building surveyor, it is always a pleasure dealing with other professionals who truly understand the onerous requirements of the legislative framework applicable to any building project.

I have worked with Amanda for a number of years now and Amanda has always been committed to assisting us in our roles to get compliance on her designs/ projects. Her efforts have always translated into a recognisable value proposition for all stakeholders on the job - particularly the homeowners/underlying clients. 

Amanda is a true professional on all levels and it is a pleasure dealing with her Studio."

- Richard Evans

"We had great collaboration with Amanda, advising us on the options for our Rozelle house extension. We really liked the personalized approach, the careful preparation, and the thought out options - which we felt really set apart. Look forward to working with Amanda in the future."

- Roman Antchik

"I can highly recommend Amanda from PandA Studio's. As the builder on one of her residential projects last year (5 month build) she delivered a design that exceeded the clients expectations, an architectural rebuild of a 3 bed bungalow in Drummoyne that brought much needed light and layouts to make the house both practical and uplifting to live in. Communication of details and architectural intentions were very easy to the client and myself which led to an excellent build on time and budget."

- Henarise Pty Ltd

"Amanda is an exceptional architect. We interviewed several architects for our renovation and Amanda was the clear stand out. She understands how to maximise space, is masterful with maximising natural light and goes above and beyond throughout the entire design process. The first time we met Amanda she immediately picked up on site specific challenges and opportunities that other architects missed. For instance, Amanda was able to immediately rule out a complying development approach based on eyeballing the width of our block, possible through her deep knowledge of council and planning regulations. Prior to engaging Amanda she built us a cardboard model of her proposed design, carried out previous DA searches on the property to identify information that could assist in the development application process and provided transparent information on pricing. Amanda kept us informed on a near real-time basis throughout the design process via Slack, with dedicated channels for different aspects of the project. She assisted with the building tender process, and helped us visualise the eventual design with phenomenal 3D renders. During the build Amanda made herself available to assist with any enquiries and was very generous with her time. Amanda cares about the end result, is a masterful designer and we are very grateful to have had her on our team!"
