I have worked with MM+J on several projects. They are easy to communicate with which is extremely important for achieving cohesive design and realising the clients dream. I have always admired their professionalism and am looking forward to working MM+J on on future projects.
Freshbuild has worked with MM+J Architects on number of large projects including full house renovations, large extensions, apartment renovations and smaller renovations.
David was dedicated, approachable, and very available through the concept and design phase of our project. We are ecstatic with the final outcome!
Manfredini & McCrae (MM architects) redesigned our small and badly laid out terrace house. They have produced an amazingly large, light filled house that utilizes every inch of space efficiently. The finished project has more than surpassed our expectations, we would highly recommend both Luisa and David.
David McCrea is a great person to deal with, very likeable and easy to get on with.
