From the outset, Paul and Amanda showed genuine respect for the original features of my home, thoughtfully integrating them into a design that feels both timeless and fresh. They took the time to truly listen to what I wanted to achieve and understood my priorities, helping to shape a home that reflects my lifestyle. Their knowledge of inner west terrace houses was invaluable, they knew exactly how to make the most of the space, ensuring every detail served a purpose. They also brought creative, architectural elements to the design that made the project feel truly unique. Equally important was their strong understanding of the local council and planning rules, which gave me confidence thro...Read More

We started our renovation journey with a fair bit of anxiety about its complexity. We wanted to add another storey to allow for multigenerational living. At the same time, we need to improve the thermal comfort of our existing house. All of these must be achieved, while having a low maintenance home and minimising energy usage. In Paul and Amanda, we've found the right architects in guiding us on this journey. With Paul, he listens closely to our ideas and translates them into practical design options that steer our decisions. He brings a structured approach in distilling our feedback and requests into innovative solutions. With Amanda, she enthusiastically guides us in exploring desi...Read More

From the time of my first phone call to Paul and Amanda, to the completion of my home renovation, they were nothing short of amazing. I had never embarked on a project like this before and it was quite overwhelming, but they were expert at guiding me through every step of the way. They took the time to really understand what I hoped to achieve, and the design they delivered more than met the brief. The design blended beautifully with my existing federation house which was very important to me, as was the role of the garden, which seamlessly integrates with the house now. They were always available for the many questions I had, and were extremely patient when I flip flopped on decisions. They...Read More

PANDA Testimonial We have always dreamed of the opportunity to work with an architect and transform a property. In 2021, that dream became a reality when we purchased a little rundown cottage in Queens Park. After researching several architectural firms and having some initial conversations, we met with Paul and Amanda to discuss our project. From the first meeting, it was clear that they not only had the expertise to deliver a fantastic result but also that we had a strong rapport, which was just as important to us. We felt comfortable and confident that they understood our vision. Paul and Amanda took the time to listen, ask the right questions, and really get a feel for the site. They...Read More

It was great to have our home designed by Amanda - she listened to our requirements and made the best use of the space available to add a second story to our property. She was full of clever solutions and has the attention to detail that makes all the difference. In particular, her ability to bring natural light into our house in ingenious ways has completely transformed our living areas. Amanda remained involved throughout the council approvals and build process, helping to deliver us an exceptional house.Read More

I would thoroughly recommend Amanda and PandA Studios. Way back when we started the renovation journey we didn't think about using an architect, but once Amanda came on board it really began to grow, especially with the skylight design which immediately stood out as a very exciting idea. I was the owner builder, so I went though the whole "grand design" "experience", but as the project progressed I came more and more to realise what a great idea it is to have an architecturally designed building, and how the fee is such good value in terms of adding functuntionality, beauty and a calm spirit to ones home. We now live in a such wonderful place, Thank you Amanda. Max McMullin St Peters,...Read More

Amanda is an exceptional architect. We interviewed several architects for our renovation and Amanda was the clear stand out. She understands how to maximise space, is masterful with maximising natural light and goes above and beyond throughout the entire design process. The first time we met Amanda she immediately picked up on site specific challenges and opportunities that other architects missed. For instance, Amanda was able to immediately rule out a complying development approach based on eyeballing the width of our block, possible through her deep knowledge of council and planning regulations. Prior to engaging Amanda she built us a cardboard model of her proposed design, carried out pr...Read More

I can highly recommend Amanda from PandA Studio's. As the builder on one of her residential projects last year (5 month build) she delivered a design that exceeded the clients expectations, an architectural rebuild of a 3 bed bungalow in Drummoyne that brought much needed light and layouts to make the house both practical and uplifting to live in. Communication of details and architectural intentions were very easy to the client and myself which led to an excellent build on time and budget.Read More

As a building surveyor, it is always a pleasure dealing with other professionals who truly understand the onerous requirements of the legislative framework applicable to any building project. I have worked with Amanda for a number of years now and Amanda has always been committed to assisting us in our roles to get compliance on her designs/ projects. Her efforts have always translated into a recognisable value proposition for all stakeholders on the job - particularly the homeowners/underlying clients. Amanda is a true professional on all levels and it is a pleasure dealing with her Studio.Read More

Amanda designed a fantastic home for us. The renovation has more rooms, space and light, yet has a similar footprint to the previous building.Read More

Amanda of PandA is a brilliant architect. I am a town planner who worked with her. She was great to work with and was able to grasp the planning issues quickly as well as produce drawings in the form that i had asked and always to a high standard. She also produced a comprehensive set of plans for the Land & Environment Court very quickly, which was outstanding and impressive for all involved and as well it became a great result for the client - actually better than expected .Read More

I engaged Amanda to design a major, modern extension to our period home, doubling it in size. She was fantastic to work with, taking our concept and turning it into a beautiful and functional design. The modern part of the house connects seamlessly to the old, with both sitting together harmoniously. The design makes great use of the aspect, landscape and natural light, and has been designed for maximum environmental sustainability. Amanda has wonderful attention to detail, and managed the builder with confidence and aplomb. She was able to navigate any planning or building hurdles that arose, which left us in the happy position of knowing it was all taken care of. We have now been ...Read More

We engaged Amanda for the renovation and development of our house in the inner west of Sydney in 2016. Amanda’s creative, thoughtful and consultative approach was an asset to our project from beginning to end. She has a wealth of technical knowledge that was invaluable as we traversed through the trial and tribulations that one navigates in the course of any renovation project. Amanda’s meticulous attention to detail on every aspect of the job was impeccable, from concept through to detailed documentation/council, contract documentation and construction management. We fully trusted and respected her judgement and advice on materials, labour, design and effectiveness. Amanda is resourceful, p...Read More

My husband and I worked with Amanda on the full renovation of our turn-of-the-last-century worker’s cottage in Camperdown. We were looking for someone to redesign the small space to make it more comfortable and liveable. A creative use of space and light were our number one criteria. Amanda was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Her calm approach is thoughtful and collaborative. She guided us every step of the way and produced a creative and quality design. One of the best things we did was engage Amanda to supervise the construction phase including weekly site meetings. She went above and beyond and took away a lot of the stress involved in this phase. She gave us very good a...Read More
