Testimonials
From Les Smith (Builder)
I have worked with Angela on many projects over the years ranging from large renovations to beach front homes and I can honestly say it is always a pleasure working with her. Angela is a great communicator and very well managed. She understands construction and structures really well and leaves nothing to chance. I have no hesitation in recommending Angela for any new home design or renovation.
From Stewart & Lyn Bubb (Client)
Thank you Angela for redesigning our home-away-from-home. We love the modern skillion roof design with modern finishes and often receive complements about the amazing transformation. We have even had people just walking past stop and chat about the verandah addition and how it has improved the entire street scape in our area! Thanks again.

My husband and I used Angela Elliss Design to help us create our new ‘Hamptons’ style home. This is the first time we have built a house this way, so it was quite a daunting process for us to consider using a building designer. However once we spoke to Angela, and meet on the building site it seemed to become all that much easier.
The whole designing process was made much more manageable having Angela provide ideas for us to think about. We found this very helpful. Angela gave us contact details of professionals to give us advice on particular parts of the project, which was also very useful.
From the initial meeting we were happy to use Angela Elliss Design. She took us through the whole process including dealing with councils and right through to DA approval. Nothing was too much trouble.

We would be more than happy to recommend Angela's design flair to anyone. We purchased a beach side home half build and Angela was able to incorporate our needs into the building. Her practice prepared all the changes to plans & reports for council and construction.
We love the modern concrete design, it's so warm in winter and cool in summer. We can certainly see the benefits of a properly designed house and would have no hesitation to use Angela again. We would be happy to provide a verbal reference if required.

Yes, it was Angela Ellis's terrific website that first put me onto her but soon I discovered that there was more to her than just a pretty website.
Thing is, renovating a house that is in a difficult position and neglected for 15 years is a complex and potentially stressful exercise.
That was our starting point. We had a pole house at Avoca Beach on a steeply sloping site. We'd been overseas for years, and it had suffered the depredations of generations of renters. We weren't even sure that it was structurally sound - disturbing cracks had appeared in odd places and the floor was sagging alarmingly under a much too heavy fireplace.
Now you may think that buildings designers are only good for twirling their bow ties as they think up ever more impractical ideas. Many of you may have had that experience. Angela is different. She does beautiful designs but she thinks carefully about practical matters and manages their execution. She got us an engineer who told us that our building was structurally sound, and advised on what loads we could put on it. She managed the process of tendering for builders. She's a Central Coast local so she knows who's good and who isn't. She managed the relationship with the builders, always a potential source of conflict and angst. It soon became quite clear that the builders respected her and would listen to her ideas and instructions. One builder told me that they preferred to deal with her over most other designers working on the Central Coast.
I have done several major renovations and I don't recall one which went so smoothly. And at the end of the process she listed all the small defects and oversaw their rectification. All in all a very satisfactory experience. You can put your work in her hands with confidence.
