“Working with Phil has been fantastic. After years of trying to figure out how to renovate our home, he came up with a design that completely changed our perspective, and we fell in love with it straight away. He really listened to what we wanted and absolutely nailed the brief. From the very beginning, Phil made us feel welcome and at ease, with no pressure at all. He’s friendly, approachable, and always took the time to explain things clearly, answering every question with patience. He offered us thoughtful options according to what we thought we needed/wanted, but of all the options, it was clear his design was the one we loved most. His communication via phone and email has been excellent, and he continues to support us as we work to bring his wonderful plans to life. We couldn’t be happier and would gladly recommend him to anyone.”

-James & Persia Moore

“Phil is an extremely talented and caring architect who went beyond our expectations with his knowledge, design flare, options, and most importantly listening to our ideas, preferences, and needs. In some ways he anticipated our wants and needs before we mentioned or emphasized them. Also importantly , he liaises and works exceptionally well with our builder. His rates were reasonable. We have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone wanting a small or large renovation done, and have already recommended him to our son who will doing a new build in the intermediate future. How about six stars!”

-Allan & Julienne Chong

“We’ve worked with Phil across a number of projects now and have always really enjoyed working with him. He’s easy to get along with, communicates well, and is great to deal with throughout the whole process. His designs are thoughtful and well detailed, which makes a big difference on site and helps everything run smoothly. We’ve got more projects coming up together and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to clients, friends, or anyone looking for a great design and someone who is genuinely good to work with.”

-Dane Miggiani, builder

“We couldn't be happier with ArbArch and how dedicated Phil is to making our vision come to life. His guidance has been invaluable. Phil puts so much effort into making sure we're heard and continues to find solutions that align with both our budget and style. We're so excited to see his plans progress to build! Really can't thank him enough.”

-Jamie & Emma King

“We recently worked on a project designed by Phil and were impressed by the clarity of the design intent and the strong level of technical detail throughout. The design was progressive, and the final outcome was excellent. Phil was also very responsive to questions, which helped the project run smoothly from start to finish”

-Greg Chalk, builder

“Phil has been a pleasure to work with. He has given options for our renovations we never would have thought of while staying inside the brief. He responds to communications quickly and always delivers on the date promised.”

-Terri Stephenson

“I approached a number of architects when deciding who to use for my renovations and extensions in Hawthorn. What made me choose Phil was his clear proposal and various options… You need to be able to work with an architect and have them guide you though not only a great design, but the myriad of rules, regulations…. I have really enjoyed the collaboration with Phil, his ideas, advice and clear communication. I recommend him without hesitation.”

-Elliot Costello

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Phil for a proposed domestic extension, where he provided a range of creative design ideas for the space - that really fired my imagination. At every stage, Phil acted in a professional and attentive manner, and delivered quality service throughout the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending his design services to anyone looking for friendly, innovative and expert advice.”

-Alan Hicks

“We came to Phil with a set of plans we’d had drafted previously but just didn’t feel right. He really listened to what we were after and completely reimagined the design, turning our corner block into a standout feature rather than a limitation. The transformation was incredible, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. We’re about to begin construction and feel so much more confident moving forward with a design that truly works for us.”

-Nate Tran & Matt Lukic

“We’re about to start construction and couldn’t be happier. Phil came up with a range of design options, one that was exactly as we asked, and a few that completely rethought what we had in mind. We ended up choosing one of his alternate designs and now we can’t wait to see it all built!”

-Kathleen & David Zammit

“Phil was referred to me by a friend for my project. It was a very tricky space to work with but we were able to come up with plans that enhance the space and light. Such a pleasure to work with.”
