We were introduced to Sophie through our sustainability expert builder Australian Living, and from the start of our new home project Sophie was responsive to our ideas and needs, coming up with a terrific design concept and following it through with excellent architectural drawings and interior details. She is very switched onto the sustainable building industry and was always willing to research new product and material ideas to match our desired budget and quality criteria. She helped and advised us all the way through the project and has been a wonderful collaborative design partner. The finished house is an amazing 8-star thermal rated home that is efficient to heat and cool and is our beautiful family sanctuary, thanks Sophie!

Sophie came up with a fantastic concept and design as well as managing the council issues to give us a home we love. Thanks so much Soph. We would recommend Sophie Solomon to anyone wanting a reliable and helpful architect. Wendy and Scott Anderson.

The work involved an upper level extension of a 1920s semidetached house, as well as a small amount of work on the existing ground floor level. Sophie Solomon Design (SSD) was involved in developing an agreed design and then in all drawings for council i.e. for submission to Council both for approval and then the construction drawings. The to-and-fro negotiation to come up with the design worked well i.e. SSD had good ideas, we knew what we needed, and a good plan resulted. An engineering company known to SSD did the engineering plans and inspections, which worked well. As the clients (us) and close contacts were familiar with construction of this sort, and as some of these knew the builder, we did not require SSD for close supervision of the project. Certification was done by the Council. The design and completed job have both proved highly satisfactory.
