We take pride in creating designs that successfully bridge the heritage of the past whilst introducing the modern conveniences of today. Clean lines, successful proportions and compositions combined in vernacular forms. White colours and welcoming interiors are an over-riding requirement.

The way we live has been completely transformed by the net addition of a whole 7.5sm. 
We absolutely love it. I don’t think that the whole project would have ever got off
​the ground without your innovative ideas so thank you for your great creative input.

Mona did an great job in interpreting what I wanted. Her plans were great and really captured the brief and
I am delighted with the end result. It was a small project but as I live in a High Wind and a Conservation
​area there were more than the usual hurdles to overcome with not only a building consent
but also resource consent. Thanks to Mona and her team for a great result.

Mona’s ability to deal firmly but fairly with all people involved in the construction process was invaluable.
So much of the process ultimately relies on the relationship between parties and how to progress and resolve
matters as issues arise. Mona excels in this area. Her working relationship with the head
​contractor was particularly important in this regard.

I have worked on two of Mona’s projects in the last 18 months as both Foreman and Carpenter.
Her ideas and concepts are, I find, different and interesting. She has a continental flair to her ideas.
Her ability to work in with all other trades works, and I would be happy to
work on other projects of hers in the future

What we have ended up with is what we wanted, the integrity that is throughout the whole house is the
result of the architect. She’s delivered with a capital ‘D’, the project has uniformity.
