Below are the comments of some previous clients:

Vanessa & Tim from Arcadia –

Joanna provided creative solutions for renovation design challenges presented by the existing building, including the front porch and the rooflines for our western extension. She also did wonderful work detailing our renovation, and applying her expert knowledge to ensure that all regulatory and technical building requirements were met. November 15, 2024.

Nigel and Takaaki from Newtown –

We had a great two-year adventure with Joanna Robinski, from initial design meetings to project completion.  It involved a substantial demolition and thorough rebuild on a site that involved many complicated council restrictions.

She carefully considered rough drawings we had made of our vision and quickly transformed them into something way more imaginative.  She works to understand her clients’ aesthetic preferences, adapting and developing them with a keen and creative eye.

As project manager she approached a number of builders she had broad experience of before we agreed on one.  We navigated a road toward a rewarding three-way collaboration between architect, builder and client.  Joanna’s eye never drifted from the work in hand.

In our experience Joanna prefers to work with builders that share her insistence on fine detail, and astute concern for budgetary constraints.  Of course, over 2 years there were some inevitable budget blow-outs (some simply unforeseen site and heritage complications).  Joanna, in close collaboration with our builder, responded with fast and inventive solutions which never compromised the integrity of the initial design.

The final product was way above our expectations, wonderfully habitable and so we would recommend Joanna, as an architect and project manager, without reservation.  June 29, 2021.

Liz from Erskinville –

Joanna has been completely brilliant. She has been solving my home’s damp and cracking issue which has required a measured and inquisitive approach, and a determination   to find the right solution. Joanna has been managing/driving this process which has involved practical investigations, detective work with the original engineer and architect and logical thinking. She genuinely wants an excellent outcome and goes the extra mile to achieve this.  May 17, 2015.

Elaine from Newtown –

Joanna designed our new bathroom and supervised the build. Her design was really beautiful, with subtle details that gave the bathroom a fantastic aesthetic, while still being very practical. As part of the renovation, she designed a wall cabinet, with integrated lighting. It’s a beautiful piece of furniture. Joanna was extremely professional with a very good relationship with the plumber, tiler etc and everything went extremely smoothly. I had originally considered doing the bathroom myself. I am so glad I didn’t as it would have been a very pedestrian affair in comparison to what we ended up with. Couldn’t be happier.  May 5, 2015.
