“Very professional, with a quick turnaround time for the job. Very friendly and easy to deal with - we had a number of changes to our design along the way and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.”

“We had Rebecca from May Tree Studios discuss our existing and rather boring home with a view to give it more street appeal without spending a fortune and to make some alterations to the interior. We were more than delighted with the concept drawings provided following our discussion. We have now completed the work and the home is transformed to unrecognisable (one visitor drove right past). Recently a regular passer-by commented that our home is now the best in the street - it was easily the least attractive in our street previously. Together with the concept drawings, Rebecca also provided details of colours that are modern and very attractive, yet blend well with existing original features. I did not think that would be possible. We are a building company so we see a lot of home designs. We considered that the proposal from Rebecca was practical and cost effective, as well as being highly professional. We highly recommend her to you.”

“Peter Latemore and Annelise Spurgeon were an outstanding team to work with to create a home for our young family of 5. Ticking all the boxes, Annelise and Peter took our grand old lady and renovated her to perfection. There was much to achieve on a tight budget. No longer able to put up with the tight working spaces in the kitchen and laundry, lack of storage and children with little room to spread out and play, we were frustrated by an ageing layout that did not suit contemporary living. Our brief was to find space and flow, for our growing family, keeping the beauty and street appeal of the old girl and introduce her to a modern style of living. We also wanted to take advantage of the elevation and breezes, keeping our economic, natural air conditioning system (there's not an air-con in sight and the only fan is one required under the Code on the patio) and imitating the benefits of double cavity brick throughout the new extension. We wanted a design that would grow with us, thinking ahead to a future second floor when the kids got a bit older. We also had to deal with a steep sloping block, ineffective terracing and poor existing hydraulics. The end result is a magnificent, comfortable home where everyone and everything has a place to come together and a place to hide away from it all. It's a striking mix of old and new that we love to spend every minute in and to host our family and friends as often as possible. And all this well on time and under budget with close communication between all parties and an eye for all the detail. Annelise and Peter work so well together, its clear they hold a high professional respect for each other, each bringing their own wealth of knowledge and experience to the drawing board. They were incredibly easy to work with during the design phase, providing valuable insight whilst giving us plenty of input into the process and listening keenly to all our concerns and ideas. It was also comforting to have them both step through the build right by our side. They have truly given us the home of our dreams and have already recommended them to others to help them build theirs.”
