3 Best Architects in Newcastle, NSW

Stephen Coon from MLA designed & managed the construction of our new family home which was completed in 2022. It was a long journey to plan & build a new house but with the support of Stephen & the MLA team, we now have a beautiful light-filled, very comfortable, modern family home. The end result is fantastic and we’re extremely happy. Stephen was easy to deal with, made great suggestions, and listened to our needs.

We are delighted with our now completed home renovations. Stephen Coon was at all times courteous, helpful and available to answer our questions. His attention to detail at every stage from the concept designs, the planning stages, materials and selection of the builder were beneficial in assisting us with decision making and a great outcome. We can highly recommend MLA.

Belinda and I are so pleased we chose Mark Lawler Architects to design our custom build in Speers Point. Stephen and his team were professional and clear in their communication in all aspects of their service from design to documentation through to tender process. Stephen is highly personable and is a talented Architect. Stephen went above and beyond to ensure our development was approved with council which we are very grateful for. Would definitely engage Stephen again for future projects. We certainly will be recommending MLA to family and friends.

We engaged Lauran and her team to guide us through our ideas and help redesign our current house to our forever home. After we finalised our design, Lauran completed all plans and drawings, had engineering reports done and covered all aspects to seek approval for us to undertake a major renovation. As part of the process, Lauran arranged for several builders to bid on our project. We were able to find a builder that suited our project for quality, craftmanship and equally important, the cost that supported us to achieve our design. Lauran and her team are very professional, knowledgeable and engaged. They listened and guided us the whole way through the process to now having construction under way. We would recommend Lauran without any hesitation, she is "The right architect" to help you achieve your home goals.

Edward Goodwin - Lauran and her team helped achieve the right design for our extensive renovation at Caves Beach. She proved easy to work with and always very friendly and flexible. Thank you.

I have worked with Lauren & her team for a great handful of years now. The customer service is flawless and no design challenge is too difficult. The knowledge of Australia standards, the BCA and a whole handful of council restrictions is sound. I have had nothing but an amazing experience using LTAA!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish (and beyond). Could not recommend highly enough, would definitely use again if we ever needed to. Shane, Rachael and their staff are totally professional in every aspect and have profoundly exceeded our expectations. We are in love with our new house that suits us perfectly. Shane was open to all our ideas and input and also offered valued suggestions and guidance when required. After 15 years in business for myself I have never come across a better business than Bourne Blue Architecture.Our whole family appreciates what you have done for us - it's changed our life!

We were initially drawn to the B+B practice as we loved how their works were unpretentious and achieved a carefully resolved response to the site. We have worked with the B+B team twice over the 10 years and both times have been an absolute pleasure. Shane, Rachael and their team are down to earth and easy going, and it has been great fun sharing ideas with them. More importantly though, the standard of their work has completely surpassed our initial expectations and we are thrilled with the product they've designed for our family.

Shane was able to wonderfully achieve our brief, and from concept to detailed plans was a smooth, fast and easy process. Shane was personable, interested and realistic. Everyday we are grateful and enjoy looking at our home and the aesthetics and connivence he has created for us. We would use Shane again.
