Home Design and Home Renovation in Pymble

home-design-PymbleWhether you are planning an altogether new home design or a renovation or an extension project, there is a good chance that you are preoccupied with the road that lies ahead. Aren’t you looking for the smartest way to crack the ‘design’ or the ‘reno’ code and negotiate through the project smoothly?

A flurry of questions on your mind

There are many questions on your mind. Will my designer extend the budget beyond my means? Will he be able to add multipurpose rooms to my home? How long will I have to take shelter elsewhere? It won’t be an exaggeration to say that you are all worked up.

Your home is an extension of your personality

Now, let us talk a little about the designing itself. You will agree that sometimes, the minutest changes alter the whole look of the home and at other times, even a full-scale renovation does nothing to its appearance. So, it goes without saying that your home designer is the most significant man out there.

Because we believe that your home says it all about you- who you are as a person and what your tastes and preferences are- we look to create homes that become the truest reflection of your personality. We try to achieve perfection not by making your home a place where nothing more can be added but by making it a place where nothing, just nothing can be subtracted- everything placed just right for the human glance.

Martin is a careful listener

designing homes in Pymble- Martin KolarikAll this cannot be done unless one becomes an avid listener. It is true that Martin Kolarik knows more about designing than the homeowners themselves but unless one listens to their “beating heart” and what their core sensibilities are, there is no way the perfect home can be built.

When a home designer tries to impress his own identity upon a project, he creates a great vision but certainly not one that is aligned to the vision of the homeowner. This is why Martin thinks that the road ahead starts with listening intently to everything that a homeowner has to say about his liking, dreams and vision.

New home design

What plans does a homeowner have in the short and the long term? What is his/her budget like? What is the precise need of the family (based on the lifestyle of the individual members)? Are the residents of the home the partying-the-barbecue-style type or relaxing-on-the-patio type? There is just so much that needs being pondered over when a home designer goes for a new home design project.

A home’s utilitarian/functional aspect has to be catered to. This can include, but is certainly not limited to natural light and ventilation. Its cosmetic aspect has to be looked into just as well. Think of the swimming pool or the home cinemas. And most important is the judgement of most suitable form and scale. Martin loves clean lines, simple, de-cluttered technique of home design.

Home renovation in Pymble

home-renovation-pymbleIn the long years of being associated with the home design industry, one thing has become amply clear. The best renovations are those which are conducted in an all-encompassing way. You do not want to give a contemporary facelift to your kitchen and leave your bathroom in shambles. To this effect, while undertaking home renovation in Pymble, Martin looks for the most cost-effective way to take up the whole house project. Given his great desire to bring a cheer to his clients, most often he aligns the budget with the purse of the client even when the scope of the project is bigger than what the homeowner originally intended.

Bushfire safety

accredited chartered building designer PymbleIf you are living on the Alma Street or the Bannockburn road, you are probably safe but if, say, you are a resident of the Bolwarra Avenue, you will already know the potential threat of bushfires. Martin understands well enough that the forces of nature, because they cannot be tamed easily, shall never be underestimated. Thus, in all his new home design and renovation efforts, he is quick to incorporate bushfire safety measures. He also carefully updates his knowledge about the council regulations pertaining to bushfire; one reason why he has never had problems with council approvals.

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.

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.
