They Say…

A Page just full of love for Essence Design

Robyn stood out by far from the other architects I approached.

She put in a big effort to help me in my journey even before I signed on, and she has continued to offer the same high level of professional service. Her skills and advice are second to none, and with designing two buildings for me at the same time she has tuned into exactly what I want and need, and at times it's like she's reading my mind which is amazing! She is genuine, down to earth, a great communicator, clearly works extremely hard and has exceptional knowledge and skills. I would happily recommend Robyn to anyone in need of architectural services

Robyn gave us a thoughtful design for renovating and enlarging our 1954 build that enabled us to have the benefits of a new home while retaining the character of the original.

Now that we have been living in it for a couple of months post completion, we are enjoying a warm and relaxed home. From builder recommendations through to helping choose the finishes for the ensuite bathroom, we've really appreciated the input from both Robyn and the rest of the team which have made the process (mostly!) easy.

Essence Design & Enscape Software – its where awesome two-dimensional architectural design comes to life for me it is the wow factor! Three dimensions, colour authentic that can be viewed at different times of the day and across the seasons. Robyn can share her ideas with me in our real time collaboration sessions and Enscape shows me what an idea would look like in reality.

Mike’s Glass – WELLINGTON

“Essence Design were instrumental in designing our new office’s in Petone.  The current premises had an auto electrician space and workshop which Essence Design converted into a warm, inviting office and reception space. They were great to deal with and made the process very easy, as we still had our staff operating from the workshop.”

Michele & Mike – PETONE 

“Robyn, from Essence Design Ltd, is a lovely person with great knowledge of her industry. She made our New York Loft Apartment project fun and exciting and was always available and happy to answer our many questions. We could not be happier with the result, and highly recommend her.”

“It was a difficult task to ensure that we could carry on working effectively while refurbishments of our office took place, but this was planned with great effectiveness and the results have been well worth the challenge.  We appreciate the work you have done for Whaiora over the past two years Robyn. With your broad skill base and design flair to assist us to create a great facility.  You have been a pleasure to work with and we recommend your services to anyone.”

REVIT has been amazing in being able to give us a vision of what the renovations will look like. The ability to create and view different parts of the house is simply priceless. Robyn has been great to work with and made what can be a challenging process, enjoyable and worthwhile.

Eve & Brent Hayden – WAIKAWA

Robyn’s re-design achieved all that we wanted and more. We used Essence Design Ltd in the past for other projects, and would not hesitate in using them again in future. I can certainly recommend Robyn for both her design work and project management skills.
