“I engaged Sebastiano from SG2 design to renovate our tired and poorly built California bungalow. I also employed him to administer the contract with our builder. He took care of all permits, negotiations with engineers &c, to an extent that I hadn’t expected, which was a great relief. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Sebastiano and SG2 design. He provided excellent plans that met my brief and exceeded my expectations. He worked well with me and the builder; kept the build well within budget; ensured the quality of the work and finishes; is patient and calm; communicates well; and was responsive, patient, and professional throughout the entire process.”
“When embarking on a relatively large home renovation project, achieving the right vision while keeping on top of all of the necessary budgeting, planning, permits and processes can be very daunting. It certainly was for us and that is why we found the support, services and guidance offered by Sebastiano at SG2 design such a God send. We have found him to be one of the most professional and easy to work with people we have had the pleasure to meet. We highly recommend Sebastiano’s services to anyone who seeks a capable architect to partner with on their build project.”
“Sebastian is a creative, responsive and efficient architect who listened, advised and then draw-up plans for the renovation of our Californian Bungalow home. During the process he was always available, responding quickly to our ideas, adopting or adapting them as needed. Through his no-fuss, practical but stylish approach we ended up with a much better outcome with the renovation. On top of it all, his services were good value and paid back in spades.”
“I have known Sebastian from SG2 Design on a professional basis for 8 years. Sebastian has assisted me on all aspects of the development cycle, from design to the appeals stage at VCAT. His commitment to professionalism was evident in his design of a church conversion in regional Victoria. As a builder working on such a historic project the level of regulatory compliance is great. I have found Sebastian to be responsive and professional. His ability to pre-empt potential difficulties was both invaluable and cost saving.”
“We are extremely happy with the end result in a very functional and beautiful house!”
“We couldn’t be happier enjoying our house. You did such a great job! A big success. We’ve had lots of compliments.”
“We engaged SG2 (Seb) after discussing our needs with 3 other architects. Our decision to engage Seb was based on the flexibility of process, and cost, that he could provide. Our situation was a little different in that our project was for a new home in Penguin, Tasmania, but we live in Melbourne. We came away from each meeting knowing that we had been listened to. We were thrilled and completely impressed with the unique and functional design he came up with. We found Seb to be knowledgeable, easy to work and communicate with. Any deadlines he set were met and work completed in accordance with the cost structure set. Our involvement with Seb has been such that we wish to compliment him by completing our home, true to his design.”
PART 2
“It is coming up for 8 years since completion and we’d like to say that it is a joy living in the space and Seb’s design has been spot on for our needs. The orientation has proved itself many times over. We have minimal use of air conditioning (not at all for the last three summers), a pedestal fan has sufficed. On sunny days of 12 degrees we find ourselves opening the north elevation doors to cool things down a little! Many thanks to you Seb for what our home means to us.”
“Sebastian and his team were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in the renovation of our home. Their experience showed through with the innovative ideas on design of spaces and choice of fittings. We have no hesitation in recommending SG2 to anyone wanting to renovate and or extend their home.”
“To those considering engaging the services of an architect on their next residential or commercial project, I would strongly urge they consider contacting SG2 Design. When working with Sebastiano I found him wanting for nothing with respect to fulfilling a clients expectations. It is important for any designer to fully understand the requirements of the client brief, to work constructively with them and communicate well throughout the process. These are qualities that Sebastiano excels in and the body of his built work to date is testament to the success of his practice.”
“Great services. Always on time.”
“I am a structural engineer and have been working with Sebastiano on a number of projects of which I have found it to be a pleasurable experience. As an architect, he pays alot of attention to detail in order to ensure his clients objectives are met. He is also willing to take on advice from the engineer in order to deliver the most cost effective structure, without comprimising the original design intent. I highly recommend Sebastiano for your next project!”
“I had the privilege to photograph some of Sebastiano’s work and enjoy the quality he delivers along with a great modern eye. Plus he is very easy to work with!”
