Hunters Hill

“Richard Archer and his team at Archer Design worked for us planning, managing and fitting out to the last detail the refurbishment of our harbourside apartment facing Elizabeth Bay, Sydney. We recommend this firm without reservation. The apartment needed a complete refit when we bought it for its stunning views over Sydney harbour mid-2016; Its French boudoir style interior and layout was tired and outdated. We rebuilt two UK properties concurrent with the work on the apartment so spent little time in Australia. We made just two visits for Richard Archer and his team to understand our requirements, all other exchanges were by phone and email. We selected Archer Design from references, their portfolio and proposed work plan comparing seven architects proposed by our buying agent. We could not have made a better choice. Archer Design took all worries away from us and exceeded our expectations. They dealt with the testing demands of the Strata and our immediate neighbours in a timely and comprehensive manner; assisted us in the selection of a peerless builder and imposed exacting standards throughout the construction process. Their attention to our tastes, the unity of the interior detail and design was flawless. They made the building project fun for us, shouldering all our concerns. Apart from selection of all furnishings and fittings, including bed linen, cutlery, glassware, crockery and utensils, they advised us on the purchase of local artworks, so we found a beautiful and complete apartment that makes the most of its location and aspect when we visited after completion in March 2018. We just wish we could spend more of our time in this great home. We should, without hesitation, instruct Archer Design again if we commissioned another building project in Australia or New Zealand.”
