“Thanks to Scott and his team at Jurado Architects we now have a stunning home with the “wow” factor utilising a beautiful sea view. On meeting with Scott we were immediately impressed with his range of ideas, advice and efficiency in providing sketches and drawings accompanied by physical models of how our home would be presented. He was excellent to work alongside and incorporated our ideas also.”

Bill & Sue Withey 2014

“I would love you to come and have a wine with In Ja and I anytime, the house is all we wanted it to be. You grasped the concept straight away and we have finished with a beautiful liveable home that blends in so well with the lovely natural bush landscape. The interior is spacious and comfortable and so easy to live in. Thank you!.”

This testimonial recognises the design excellence of Scott Jury – Architect, an Honours graduate and Principal of Jurado Architects Ltd.
Scott first impressed us when he participated in the design and administration of a large prestige 10 car garage for our family incorporating a 1950s American Diner, Luxury Home Theatre and various collection spaces. We have constructed many prestige projects and as a result of the very favourable impression Scott made on us, we decided to award him the commission for a major rebuild of our estate in the Bay of Islands.
Our brief was for the “Grand Old Lady of the Bay of Islands” and he has delivered that to our entire satisfaction. The project encompassed significant infrastructure and design, a new Caretaking cottage, Demolition Design and Rebuild of an Historic Fishermans building, Demolition Design and Rebuild of the major Historic Homestead and the refurbishment of a large Boatshed all required to maintain the historic appearance of the original heritage property.
This was a 30 month project of the highest quality and detail and the result has surpassed our expectations. Scott’s ability in translating the client’s brief into perfect reality is exceptional and his design ability has impressed us throughout the development of Concept, Design and final Execution. We are currently enjoying the many accolades we receive as Owners.
He is an Architect who also personally administers his commissions and supervises the construction competently and professionally, always maintaining a close personable relationship with the Client and Contractor.
It is our pleasure to recommend him

“Hopper Developments decided to produce our new Head Office which was to include a mixed-use brief incorporating Retail, Hospitality, Office and Apartments, this brief was very challenging for our small site and we knew this would prove tricky. Jurado Architects have produced something very special and the design skill has been unquestionable, we know the design will stand out as a quality building and endure the test of time, and the brief has been executed very well. Scott's ability to combine special design elements, while constantly considering the underlying budget has been crucial. A very well designed building has also been followed by a high-quality set of documentation which the contractor and wider team have enjoyed working with. We would be happy to recommend Jurado Architects, and in fact, we are using them on other projects continually
