We used Vanessa from VMA when doing a big renovation of our family home.

She designed our dream home – we couldn’t be happier! As well as being a very talented architect, Vanessa is a lovely approachable person, so much so that we asked her to manage the build for us.

The whole renovation was seamless with Vanessa at the reigns. I would highly recommend VMA

Vanessa was the third architect we had discussions with and after our first meeting we had no doubt Vanessa was the right fit fit us. She listened, understood our lifestyle and came up with creative solutions to design problems with respect to time, money and materials.

Vanessa was incredibly patient with changes to the design and connected us to the required contractors including builders so our renovation was completed on time and within budget.

We’ve loved working with Vanessa and love our new home.

We had a really positive experience working with Vanessa on our project. Vanessa creatively incorporated our ideas into design options and using
her network and relationships supported us through the process from DA approval to construction completion.

Vanessa was a pleasure to work with flexible, patient and professional – I would have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa.

Words of wisdom, such as they are – My husband and I renovated our Carrington house a little over two years ago. From the beginning of the planning process I knew we wanted to engage an architect and I also knew that I wanted Vanessa to be our architect if she was available. I wanted Vanessa because a number of people I knew spoke highly of her work but also because I liked her and trusted her as a person. I suspected the process would be stressful but I hoped with her by my side, some of this stress would be alleviated. And I am very pleased to say she delivered in spades. She helped my husband and I to find common ground on design decisions (no mean feat!), she helped me with almost all of the small and large decisions needed during a renovation which threatened to overwhelm me, she was a sounding board for me when I needed to communicate with our builder and she did it all with so much grace and humour. She is entirely professional with an incredible eye for detail, a wealth of knowledge about design and construction and she is simply a terrific person to work alongside. I have referred her services to friends of mine and two friends have also used her for their renovations and been as pleased as I was. I do not hesitate to recommend Vanessa and am happy to speak personally with anyone who would like to chat further.

We are delighted with the result of our new house that Vanessa designed. Throughout the whole design and build process Vanessa worked with us to achieve our exact requirements whilst injecting into our project her inspirations.

She was able to show us many different ideas throughout the process that inspired an amazing house that is effortless to live in.

Her experience and calm manner minimised the stress inherent in the building process.

Simon Thibault

We used VMA for a major renovation project that we completed in 2019.

Vanessa was amazing to work with from the beginning of the project until completion. She was attentive, and listened to our needs when designing a beautiful home for our family of 5. She was patient and kind, with an incredible eye for design and assisted us in making great decisions along the way.

We would highly recommend her and would not hesitate in using her services again in the future.

Lara Savage

We engaged Vanessa to assist us in the design of a second story addition and the remodelling of part of our house. Vanessa was approachable, inventive,
patient and genuinely listened to what we wanted for our family home. We couldn’t be happier with the end result and how smooth Vanessa made the whole process. We have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa.
