At our first meeting with Neil, we felt a connection immediately. He listened to all our wants and needs and came up with an initial design so unique and interesting that we were hooked! Never would we have envisaged the home that he designed for us. At our first meeting with Neil, we felt a connection immediately.

Neil is a creative genius. His talents extend well beyond the architectural design – his ability to extend his design ideas to encapsulate the wider external environment surrounding the home, to the whole interior design (including furnishings) is equally exceptional. His attention to detail is incredible and unlike anything we have seen, and it certainly brings it all together.

Neil oversaw the project from start to finish. He was always in close contact with us, our builder, and was often interacting with our trades on site. If there was a query or issue to discuss he was always available to offer his advice and assisted in finding a resolution. His professionalism and ability to build solid working relationships with everyone involved is what made the project such an enjoyable success.

To us, our family, neighbours and lots of inquisitive strangers, Neil has created an artistic masterpiece. But more importantly, he has created a home that we absolutely love and look forward to enjoying with our family and friends.Neil is a creative genius.

Neil designed a stunning and thoughtfully designed forever home for my family of four. He went above and beyond with every aspect of the build, from design, through planning approval, and throughout the build.

He is incredibly thoughtful about design, not just in terms of architectural beauty but also liveability. We have been in our home for nearly 5 years now and could not be happier.

First Class Architect. Highest possible recommendation! We have been extremely impressed with Neil’s professionalism, creativity, attention to detail and work ethic. He understood straight away what we liked and then evolved our project into a house that is full of interesting details and very functional design. He has an eye on our budget and is a first-class liaison between us and our builders.

Neil was a pleasure to work with. His designs were totally in keeping with what I had in mind and I would thoroughly recommend his work. Neil worked so well with the builder and together they seemed to be in tune with each other. I found it all so easy because things seemed to happen smoothly and quickly. He is a very easy-going sort of person. He seems to tune into exactly what I wanted.

We engaged the services of Neil Cownie to transform a very neglected Cottesloe workers cottage into our beautiful, luxurious family home and we could not be happier. We have beautiful street façade and a stunning addition to the back that is so functional and of the highest quality. Neil was patient. Thoughtful and highly skilled in his approach and design.

Neil has a sense of empathy that comes through very strongly. Neil is also very considerate in terms of understanding you on a very personal level, right down to personalities and reflecting that in terms of the project. This consideration is unusual, as is Neil’s sensitivity towards the broader context of a project. He’s very considerate in terms of coming up with concepts that align to those aspirations, even to the point of materials that convey that. He’s very considerate in the way he takes your aspirations onboard and then looks to translate those in terms of his design concepts.
