Home Design and Home Renovation in Lane Cove


home renovation in Lane Cove
A clear vision and direction are essential to any major home renovation or design project.

Whether you’re considering a completely new home design or a home renovation in Lane Cove, it is important that you have a well-planned blueprint that will guide your every decision.

A critical question to ask is: Do you have the right professional team to work with you?

Renovating a home can easily be overwhelming. Ultimately, it is the haven for your family. To ensure you get what you want and protect yourself from cost overruns, you want the help of an expert who is firmly on your side.

Martin listens and listens well

home designer in Lane Cove - Martin KolarikAn experienced home designer understands the importance of finding the right balance between what his clients want and what they need.

Understandably, homeowners will want to get things done in a certain way. They may have an eye for a particular design or go for a specific look. But depending on various factors, what clients want sometimes isn’t feasible, or is impractical. Regardless of the reason, a home designer must find a way to find the right balance.

This is where Martin Kolarik’s expertise comes in.

As a home designer, he proves that he truly understands that a home is a reflection of those who live in it. And no one is in a better position to tell him what they need in their home more than the homeowners themselves.

His approach to design is collaborative. It’s anchored on the belief that the client’s preferences and ideas should be the focal point of any project. For Martin, the perfect home can only be achieved by striking the right balance between practicality and vision.

New home design in Lane Cove

Lots of light, open spaces and streamlined aesthetics are the hallmarks of Martin’s keen eye for design.

Of course, these are all applied in the context of client preferences and requirements. These are determined through open dialogue between himself and the homeowners.

The entire process ensures that Martin and anyone he works with are able to create spaces that are perfectly in tune with your lifestyle and personality.

Home renovation in Lane Cove

home renovation Lane Cove - before and afterWhen it comes to home renovations, it pays to do your homework and leave major projects in the hands of professionals.

Too often, homeowners find themselves investing time and effort into designing their home, only to find out that Lane Cove council or State Government will not sign off on it because it does not comply with certain regulations.

Experienced home designers like Martin can ensure that they are on top of all these important requirements. This gives homeowners an opportunity to focus on the real home renovation or design, without regulations being the focus.

Bushfire safety

Finally, don’t let your home’s safety take a backseat to design and aesthetics. Especially in a beautiful, leafy suburb like Lane Cove with its wonderful national park and surrounds.

Anyone enlisting Martin’s services can rest easy that he builds his designs following stringent Bushfire Safety regulations. He creates a home design tailored to the homeowner’s tastes. He also ensures that each design has structural integrity and is in strict compliance with the Rural Fire Service and local council building regulations.

As exciting as home design and renovations can be, it can also be a detailed, extensive and time-consuming process. Give us a call at Martin Kolarik Home Design. We will give you the guidance and expertise needed to make the experience as pleasant and hassle-free as possible.

Welcome

Welcome to my website. My purpose is to help you create a wonderful place you and your family can call home.

It is about listening and understanding your needs and what you would like to achieve. I have spent the better part of my life learning how to create warm and welcoming spaces rather than simply designing houses.

Please have a look around. View the galleries of some recent projects and read the testimonials from past clients.

I have also written many articles on my blog to help you on your journey to creating your dream home. I look forward to assisting you,

Testimonials

A few words from our clients. Read them all in full here

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.
