Our Happy Clients

Sarah

We are really pleased with how the new layout works, it is so much more functional and a great space to live in and enjoy. We definitely have the indoor/outdoor feel with windows framing the trees and view, very relaxing to come home to.

David

We greatly appreciate the work you and your team have put in, it is of a very high standard and we have been very happy with the outcome thus far. I cannot tell you how excited we are with the vision that is forming, there have been so many great conversations and plenty of excitement that came from even the more mundane details and this has been a great start to the whole process.

Virginia and Steve

We are thrilled with the light and layout, it is a far cry from the dark and damp previous incarnation. Thank you so much for your input and calming support at such a crucial stage in the development.

Sharon

I know I have said this a couple of times before but the house and the inside of the house look fantastic. Everything is coming along and I couldn’t be prouder and happier with it all. Thank you both so much for the design and work both yourselves and your teams have done on making our new home become a reality from just a dream and for making the building of our house a pleasure to be involved in.

Andrew

Thanks again for being involved in our fantastic new space. It looks great and makes us feel proud!

Darren

Thanks for all your assistance – the home is fantastic. I have been recommending you to everyone I speak to!

Chris

I’m not usually one to give a lot of praise, but you and the team did a really great job on a difficult block & access. You really know your stuff and helped us with all our decisions with well explained information right from the first day. We both really appreciated all your work!

C&R

Thanks for not only being a great architect but for being a constant source of advice & wisdom.

Tiffany

The house is beautiful due to a combination of awesome architect and builder.

Catherine

Thank you for all you have contributed to the project, your expertise, professionalism, tolerance of the inexperience and great sense of humour. You are truly a pleasure to work with.

Dawn

Thank you Kathy. We are so happy with our renovations and loved your ideas and design.

Rod

We engaged the services of Kathy Barnsley for an extensive renovation and addition to our home. From the start of the design process, Kathy and her team collaboratively worked with us – listening to our needs and requirements and delivering architectural solutions matching our ideas and budget. During the building phase Kathy was side-by-side with us both administering the building contract and architecting details of updated and additional design variations. We are thrilled with the quality and function of our new beautiful house and we would use the services of Kathy Barnsley Architects again if we embarked on another project. We highly recommend Kathy and her team.
