We have engaged Nick to design the last three projects over the last nine months and about to begin the process on the fourth project. Nick and his team have taken our ideas and thoughts and turned them into stand out bespoke homes. We have been really impressed with their ideas, communication, turnaround time and listening to what we are after. We are looking forward to continuing working with them on future jobs. Highly recommend if you are after a team that takes your ideas and creates a bespoke home design.

I have been working with Fortyone Architecture over the past few months to help prepare the working drawings for a number of my residential projects. I have been really impressed with their efficiency and turnaround time. I will continue working with their team going forward.

Nick is a wonderful architect, he helped us design our latest build and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We look forward to working with him in the future.

Nick was awesome to deal with. Connected and communicated with us on a level we could understand and helped us design the house we wanted. He was able to guide us into making the right decisions based on style, cost , and practicality.

I would use him again in a heart-beat.

Nick has done an amazing job for us, showing great understanding of our needs and translating this onto a plan from Concept through to consent. Right through this process we have been confident of his workmanship and thorough grasp of the result we were looking for, and his advice on all areas of the project has been very helpful. Overall it has been a pain-free process, and very timely - only 5 months from starting the initial concept to consent ready plans. Looking forward to the build starting shortly!

We have been working with Nick and his team at Fortyone Architecture for about 6 months. Nick has proven himself to be efficient, timely and open with his communication. We have developed a solid relationship and look forward to working with Nick and his expanding team into 2021 and beyond. Relationships are a key part of our own success and as such we enjoy having partners that share in our vision.
