Home Renovation and New Home Design in Lindfield

home design in Lindfield

You can read people by looking at their immediate surroundings. Our homes tell a lot about who we are. Much like the external body language of a person, a home says everything without actually speaking. At MK Home Design, we have always looked towards creating a home that is a true expression of who you are – that way it will truly feel like home.

Blending function with aesthetics

Irrespective of whether you are looking to build a new home for yourself or renovate the existing one, the emphasis must be on a true marriage of functionality and aesthetics. After all, you do not want to decorate your home too well and forget the ventilation. Conversely, you do not want to give your entire self to the cause of light and ventilation, completely ignoring that a home must also look good to the human eye.

New home design in Lindfield

When we design homes, we look at the bigger picture. There are questions that need being answered in all honesty. What kind of short, medium and long-term plans do the home-owners have? Do they have a flexible budget (because sometimes the vision of a designer can be stunted by budgetary constraints)?

What the family exactly needs (is there going to be an increase in the number of residents, a question among many)? Of course, equally important is to understand the lifestyle of the residents of the home (for instance, if home owners are the partying type; we talk barbecues…if they are the relaxing type; we talk patios with built-in-roofing)?

There are so many distinct and subtle aspects of a home which need to be kept in mind. Something as subtle as the orientation or the aspect can have a lot of bearing on the homes you live in. In fact, why only new homes, at MK Home Design we think a lot about quality renovations, too.

Home renovation in Lindfield

In the years that we have closely watched, scrutinised, and been in sync with the renovation industry, we have come to understand one thing quite clearly: renovations work best when they are conducted in an expansive way. You do not want to give a boost to your curb appeal and leave your roof devoid of shingles. You do not want your patio to look good and forget about the structural corrosion of the entryway.

It is good, and even appropriate, to think about renovating your bathroom but imagine: will a superbly renovated bathroom blend well with a kitchen that has not been touched upon for ages? While conducting any home renovation in Lindfield, we look for a few really cost-effective solutions for you, even while keeping the scope of the job really big.

These are possibly the best times for the renovation industry and any noise about this not being so, is, well, just a noise. So gird up your loins and give your home the shape you have dreamt of. If it is a new home you have in mind, we will be equally enterprising in making it a reflection of your own personality.

designing homes in Lindfield - Martin KolarikMartin Kolarik (the helmsman of the MK Home team) has profound knowledge of Bushfire safety and local council regulations. Homeowners in Slade Avenue, Carlye Road, Lady Game Drive and many other areas would know just how crucial Bushfire-averse home designing can be.

Great artists can afford to indulge themselves but home designers have to remember each step of the way that it is somebody else’s vision they have got to represent on the home’s canvas. Bearing this in mind, Martin makes it a rule to listen more and speak less. After all, he wants to absorb as much from the clients as possible to conjure something that their heart longs for.

accredited chartered building designer LindfieldOnly because Martin binds the clients’ requirement pretty well with the council requirements does he manage to get record council approvals. Clients, invariably, return a happy lot, too.

So feel free to give us a call and let us journey with you on your dream home design or home renovation project.

Welcome

home designer in Sydney

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.
