Highlights

"We hired PKY Design to design our family home, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. They really listened to what we wanted and turned our ideas into a beautiful, practical design that feels like ‘us.’ Throughout the process they were professional, patient, and kept us updated at every step. The attention to detail and creative touches have made our home truly special. We’re so glad we chose them and would highly recommend their services to anyone planning to build or renovate."

"Quick and easy to work with the Project team."

"Keith has been phenomenal since the start. He listened to our requirements and advised us what would suit our project. On top of that his prices are very competitive. But what I was extremely impressed with, was Keith's communication and prompt responses to any of my questions. This is really important especially if you are doing an extension where the builder may need to speak to the architect to ensure a smooth process."
