Construction

We’ve worked with our builders for years because they solve problems rather than make them. You can also choose your own builder.

Martin Kolarik Home Design

For decades, my focus has been purely on family homes as I wanted my design work to have a positive impact on how families live in their own homes.

My foundational experience in commercial design and architecture has given me strong principles and craftsmanship in design. But my passion has always been homes that families live in.

To me, designing a family home means touching people’s lives – impacting them every single day for the long term. That is a huge responsibility for me as a designer. This is what creates meaning for me and the reason I have dedicated my entire professional career to pursuing excellence in design.

Good home design is longevity. It should demonstrate joy and elegance and serve you and your family well into the future.

I personally design every project.

To Renovate or Rebuild?

On the North Shore of Sydney many homes are ideal for updating. A better outcome than demolish and rebuild can often be achieved by working with the existing home. I find it ethically far more responsible to update a well-constructed home rather than knock it down.

Bushfire, sustainability and heritage experts

We love Sydney’s North Shore as much as you do.

We live here, work here and know how to help you make the most of it. From bushfire resilience to sustainable building and heritage requirements we’ll make your project a success.

Home Design Principles

My design principles are aligned with the simplicity of modern architecture with its clean lines, along with suitable contemporary elements to create designs which are congruent with your home.

Contemporary design elements such as light-filled interiors, functional floor plans and subtle use of colour are combined to create homes which are the expressions of simplicity and elegance.

  • Aesthetics and Functionality
    • There is a sense of quality and elegance achieved by the skilful combination of practical functionality and aesthetics to positively influence the sense of well-being of people as they live in their home.
  • Honesty
    • A simple building with restrained aesthetics and optimised function will be more honest, not requiring decoration.
  • Long-term
    • We employ a Master Plan approach to all projects to ensure we plan for the long-term needs of the family.
  • Environmental sustainability and responsible architecture
    • A home which is sustainable and attractive will have a long life and reduce the carbon footprint of the property.
  • Enough design, but not too much
    • With care and accuracy, the right amount of design has a focus on purity and simplicity that has the family’s requirements as the priority.
  • Simplicity is the key to excellence
    • Clarity of thought on strategy, aesthetics and function simplifies the complexities of the design process, leading to sophisticated, elegant designs.

A Few Kind Words From Our Happy Clients

Extremely Happy

The conversion of our 2 bedroom 1950’s bungalow to a modern 4 bedroom house has been an enjoyable journey that completed on time, on budget and with results that far exceeded our expectations.

Jon and Lindley Randle

Lane Cove

Invaluable Expertise

You can see quality in every design detail. During the construction process, Martin's expertise proved invaluable when dealing with council and a somewhat recalcitrant builder.

Dolien and Peter Nicolsen

Berowra NSW 2081

Innovative, highly professional and sympathetic

We wanted to suit the needs of our young family but Martin advised us on how to future proof our house design and meet our needs as our family grows up. We now have a stunning home and we couldn’t be happier with the architectural design.

David & Pauline

St Ives Chase

Fantastic

Martin Kolarik was instrumental in the design and documentation of our family home renovations a few years ago and I have pleasure in recommending his professional services.

Warwick J. Higgs

Chartered Accountant, Wahroonga

Far Exceeded Our Vision

At the completion of the building works, the end result is fantastic and far exceeds the vision we had all those years ago. Martin was able to take our scattered ideas for what we needed in a major extension/ renovation, at all times patiently working with our changing requirements, and deliver an end result that we are extremely pleased with.

Graeme Bradford

Turramurra

Very Happy

Martin's capable oversight of the builders and other contractors ensured we had a trouble free building experience. We continue to be very happy with the result of his efforts.

Patrick and Laura Mooney

A Joy To Work With Martin

Martin is very knowledgeable, organised and professional and it is a joy working with him. He gives every request due consideration, no matter how challenging the request.

Anja & Perry Poehlmann,

St Ives Chase.

Seven years on and still really happy

Seven years on and still really happy I am sitting here typing this testimonial for Martin, 7 years later, and really appreciating this amazing home we live in that is part of the bush environment, as well as providing my family with a very comfortable and modern home.

Mateki and Liam Payne

Hornsby Heights

Exceeded Our Expectations

Martin's ability to understand our core requirements and present answers and new ideas for our project exceeded our expectations. Several design features that Martin presented to us regularly get positive comments from visitors to our home, these comments have come from builders, designers and engineers.

James Douglass J.P.

Lane Cove

Invaluable

Martin has exceeded our expectations during a lengthy design and approval process. His attention to detail and flexibility in being able to interpret our ideas into a new functional space has been outstanding. His assistance during the quotation phase of the project was invaluable and resulted in us engaging a first class builder to complete the works.

Teresa and Peter Gray

Very Attentive

Martin listened very attentively to our requirements and very cooperatively finalised the plan, with careful discussion back and forth. We felt he always took on board our thinking, while respectfully putting his own suggestions.

James and Irene Franklin

Lane Cove

Very Happy

Now that we have lived in the finished product we can categorically state that we wouldn't change any part of the design. Indeed, the only parts of the renovation that we would change are those you weren't involved with!

Michael and Quyen

I Cannot Begin To Thank Martin Enough

One of our main concerns was getting the design through council as we were in a conservation area. Again Martin handled it with ease, going through first time with no amendments! Practically unheard of in our area.

Joe and Sonya La Rosa

The Ultimate Professional

On each occasion I have dealt with Martin and his business I have always found him to be the ultimate professional. One of Martin's strong points, which I particularly admire, is his ability to design to a budget and his understanding of building costs. I feel this is an area of design which many designers are particularly weak.

Mark Newman, Director, Newmark Constructions

Excellent All the Way

Martin Kolarik was the first person to provide a solution that specifically addressed our requirements. His additional suggestions very much enhanced our living and the value of our home. His unwavering commitment continued until the last paperwork was done, long after the final fee was paid.
