OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
They designed a great solution for a tricky site and listened to what was important to us.
Kate
Mel is so easy to work with! She’s so open to ideas and loves incorporating your ideas into her great designs, so it feels like a true collaboration. She makes the whole process much less stressful by guiding you through every step of the way. Her attention to detail is mind blowing. We can’t wait to start the build!

Mel and Lisa have been absolutely amazing throughout our project. From inception, they designed a house well suited to our family. The layout was perfect and included all of our wish list and then some.

We had a great experience planning the renovation of our home with Mel and Lisa! Ours was a tricky project to navigate with a number of challenges and Mel managed us and the process with aplomb. We haven't proceeded with the renovation to date due to the pandemic, however we would have continued to use Zugai Strudwick as project managers if we had done so.

As a couple with nil experience renovating other than chucking a coat of paint on an old weatherboard house, we really had to trust our architect and builder.
We found Mel and Lisa excellent in this area, from the first contact we liked Mel's down to earth, pragmatic, realistic approach. She was also very good at taking the sometimes contradictory thoughts of myself and my partner and incorporating both our ideas into the design. Lisa's liaison skills with council DA application and negotiations thereafter were also impressive.
The team have a good network of other providers i.e designers and suppliers for fittings and fixtures some of whom we also availed ourselves of!
The end result is ...
