5 Star Review by Tash
We used Adam for a number of different projects over the years. We kept coming back as each time we couldn't have been happier with the end result. From being completely flexible in one property where we didn't want to spend a lot, to high end design and fittings. We also consulted with him when a neighbour was building and they were going to take almost all of our Northern sunlight. He created detailed submissions for us that helped us to negotiate with the owners and council. He also helped us when we were looking for a new house, providing insight into future renovations and potential restrictions, which allowed us to buy the right home. Adam always made time to listen and take on board our ideas, whilst offering excellent considerations and designs of his own. We would highly recommend Adam and his team for all aspects of architecture.
Adam's skills suited us on so many levels....He was obviously creative, knowledgeable and up-to-date across the entire renovation process, but also flexible and non-judgemental in the context of my stupid questions, impractical suggestions and illegible drawings..
It is clear that his advice and services were underpinned by very sound principles, both aesthetic and ethical. It is a great relief to know that I need not look anywhere else for help with a future project of any size.

I can recommend Adam and his team. After a couple of false starts from our end, we completed a major renovation with Adam guiding us through. Adam worked with us very collaboratively to come up with a design that met our specific priorities, and we couldn't be happier with the result.This was a difficult build, on a sloping block with bush, and consequent fire zone regulations, but now it is now complete. Every day we enjoy living in the renovation which is spacious, light filled and makes the best use of the space we have.

We came to Adam and All Australian Architecture because we’d seen one of his other homes in our area and liked that ‘sugar cube’ look.
Our block was quite unique because it was just bush with no existing home and a cliff running diagonally through the site. The frontage is wide but level with the street and we wanted to capture the water and city views beyond.
We were really impressed with the design and how space on our site was maximised. Our neighbours made the DA process into a circus but Adam worked hard to get the design through Manly council.
Adam’s drawings are very detailed and we found this so important during the build, to avoid variations and keep the costs in check. We love the house and I’d definitely recommend Adam if you’re looking for an architect.

Adam and his team were fantastic at conceptualizing and designing our home. I was very particular in my design requirements and have strong opinions about how I want things to look, Adam was extremely patient and empathetic throughout. He was able to take my vision and craft it into reality, finding ways to improve on it with lots of light and energy efficient design. Adam and his team are professional and friendly and both the initial design and updated versions were done quickly and accurately. The builders had zero issues with the plans and the sign off process (via CDC) was very fast thanks to all the time Adam took to consider every angle. I couldn’t recommend All Australian Architecture highly enough.
