About Us
Established in 1999, Sam Crawford Architects is a young, innovative, design-driven practice, focussed primarily on residential design - including new houses, apartment buildings, and alterations & additions to existing dwellings. We have extensive experience in heritage conservation, interior and furniture design.
Approach
We approach each brief, each client and each site as a unique opportunity. We believe that successful buildings, whether large or small, are designed to enrich people’s lives and the quality of their environment.
Service
We provide a complete architectural service, from design concept, to council approval, detailed design and documentation, contract administration, and project management.
Clients
Our clients are the basis of our practice. Many return to us, and refer us to friends, again and again. A successful design is that which meets our clients’ needs and exceeds their expectations.
Budget
We understand that not delivering a building on budget is the number one reason for the architecture profession’s negative public image, We make it our priority, from the start, to deliver every project on budget. To this end, each project is independently costed at sketch design, and reviewed at each stage to completion. We do not see budgetary constraint as a limit to innovation, but rather as a generator.
Detail
Attention to detail is the hallmark our practice, and our service. No query goes unanswered, no concern ignored, no problem left unsolved.
Experience
Our body of experience spans from small interior refurbishments and alterations and additions, to large luxury houses and boutique apartment buildings. We have extensive experience with heritage and conservation, and have dealt with more local Council’s than we care to number.
Sustainability
We take a long term view of sustainability and conservation. Ecologically sustainable design underpins our work and educates our entire decision making.
Collaboration
We believe that great buildings result from great clients. We encourage our clients to be involved in design decision making throughout their project.
Team
Practice and design director, Sam Crawford is intimately involved with each stage of every project undertaken by the practice. In addition, each job is assigned a project architect to deal with the day to day running of the project.
