We engaged Taylor Knights, after interviewing 5 different architects, in relation to a major renovation of a double storey Victorian terrace. They stood out to us for their ability to blend the old with the new as we wanted to retain the Victorian features whilst creating a modern home that could stand the test of time.

Taylor Knights also appealed to us for their demonstrated experience in bringing light into dark spaces in creative ways. They certainly helped us achieve this in what was formerly a dark Victorian terrace. Our living areas are flooded with natural light, channelled into the house from a variety of angles which helps to create an inviting and ever changing internal landscape depending on the time of day.

Peter and his team were accommodating and collaborative with all our requests, nothing was ever too much. Their attention to detail and high standards to meet clients’ needs are second to none. Every single aspect of the design (no matter how small) was considered – and I really do mean everything! We had the pleasure of working directly with Peter Knights, and we feel so lucky to have been guided by his experience and creativity. We are so grateful to have had Peter and his team with us on this journey and couldn’t be more pleased with the final result. The house has met all our aesthetic dreams but is also functional, comfortable and feels like the home we had hoped to create. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services.

Our experience with James and Peter from Taylor Knights was amazing and our project was a massive success turning out better than we ever could have imagined. Throughout the project they were extremely professional, creative and innovative and ensured that each step of the project went smoothly.

We engaged Taylor Knights as our architect to renovate and extend our single fronted Victorian terrace with a heritage overlay in Northcote. They provided a range of services including concept and design, council/planning approval, construction documentation, tender process and contract administration.

Peter and James totally transformed our small two bedroom dark house into a large light filled four bedroom home that perfectly integrates the modern extension with the original Victorian house at the front. Our house is now a beautiful home which maximises the every inch of the small block and perfectly connects the internal and external spaces.

Overall we couldn’t be happier with Taylor Knights and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Their creativity, attention to detail, client focused design and willingness to go the extra mile to make the project perfect was just amazing and not only did they totally transform our house and lifestyle but also added significant value to our property.

I engaged Taylor Knights as architects and interior designers for this challenging renovation and addition to my Federation home in St Kilda. They far exceeded my expectations with service and innovative design.

Peter and James carefully listened to the complex brief, responding in a considered way delivering a house exceptional in design and on budget. Maximum advantage was made of the space available, even converting the existing roof space into a home office, something I hadn’t considered.

By working the traditional heritage features with the contemporary an element of surprise and sophistication has been achieved throughout. I particularly love the connection with the outdoors and the use of natural light which streams through the skylights on even the dullest days. Attention to detail is evident everywhere. This is a fantastic home and I would highly recommend Taylor Knights.
