Minor dwelling in a suburban back yard - 2021 When an elderly family member needing a home, this 360m² rear garden presented an ideal opportunity to create inter-generational living on site.

“Imagine a meeting with an architect where, instead of starting with a drawing, you started with a feeling. Imagine someone with a unique set of skills that could create an image out of your description of how your want your ideal home to feel. Tonia has a real knack of 'getting into your head' and pulling out everything you have in regard to your home, and with her deliberate style of really challenging your thinking, she creates It. As the journey evolves, it almost becomes simple because you see what she sees, and vice versa. We found our perfect piece of paradise and Tonia has now delivered our utopia. Through her wonderful communication style, which thankfully is an abundance of beautiful images ( and words) that really connect your ideals...Tonia is clear on costs, time and expectations. She was open and honest with us that the journey would be eventful, challenging, exciting and memorable. In the beginning we found an architect, in the end we got a friend. Take your journey with Tonia Williams, we did and found our Utopia.”
