“Working with Monia on our apartment renovation was a rewarding experience. I could see every detail in the drawings and 3D models unfolding throughout the build. Monia coordinated the installers and tradespeople, and her critical eye ensured a high standard of workmanship throughout. Monia’s vision for the kitchen area completely redefined the experience of space and comfort in the apartment.Everyday I admire the kitchen and dining space, which is both beautifully designed and functional.The hard floors throughout feel great under foot and the neutral colour palette feels very calming.Every detail comes to life, such as minimalist push-to-open cabinets, floor to ceiling storage, the subtle use of handles, high quality tapware, stone and textured finishes.Yet my favourite feature is the under-cabinet lighting, which stretches to infinity in the opaque glass splashback. The splashback also reflects the outdoors, further adding to the sensation of openness in what is a relatively small space.” AM

She has a clear understanding of her clients objectives, and seeing the end product as a photographer these projects are well thought out and beautifully finished interior and exterior designs. Monia is a true professional in her field, easy to communicate with, and always a pleasure to work with.” ST

Monia’s attention to detail is phenomenal and it is the first thing we highlight when others have asked. We highly recommend Monia and wouldn’t hesitate in referring Monia Architects.” LC & DC

“Monia led the development of designs for a renovation of our home. Monia’s designs were well-considered, reflecting our stated goals and giving us a range of detailed options to approach our renovation. Monia communicated proactively with us, keeping us informed as she developed our design and clarifying details along the way. Monia was generous with her time and expertise, including by reaching out to our local council to confirm what planning and building permits would be required, and helping us get in contact with builders and other contractors to keep the project moving.We had a great experience working with Monia and strongly recommend her to anyone in need of an architect or project manager.” SE & CE
