What our clients say

“Was very lucky to come across the incredible Robyn through my hubby attending BNI and bringing her card home and when we looked at putting our wellness business together I knew exactly who to approach. Robyn was warm and so down to earth and is a wealth of knowledge and experience and you can see her passion for her work. She put us in contact with amazing people who are making our dream come to reality and we couldn’t be more grateful for her support and guidance through thus project. She has given us really great advice and just continues to go above and beyond to help us and we couldn’t be more grateful and thankful that our paths have crossed with her. Thank you for all your passion and hardwork and your just a beautiful lady inside and out 🫶🏼”

“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.”

“Essence have really gone that extra mile – working tirelessly with both ourselves and the Building team to design and engineer a quality building solution at an affordable price.”

“They listened to our ideas, honestly addressed our questions and concerns, and used their knowledge and expertise to work with us in turning our vision into a working plan. They took us from concepts to Council approved design with minimal stress.”

“We have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants a great architectural designer with a lot of technical skills and a good amount of design flair.”

“The technology you have shown us is amazing. Being able to pop into the studio and view our plans on Revit in real time just makes it easier to understand and we feel connected to the process.”

“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.”

“Exactly what we need and want! Robyn and her crew put our plans into Enscape and it is just incredible! It shows me the design brought to life. This has really helped us make decisions and feel confident that the finished output will be exactly what we need and want.”

“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.”

“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.”
