Not sure how to move forward with your own home renovation?
We have been busy creating, writing, and videoing. We have prepared a series of useful resources just for you – to help you get your new home project off to a great start – and on the right track.
Are you having problems with getting your renovation started?
To help you to identify and anticipate the potential roadblocks to a successful renovation, we offer a free 20-minute phone consultation with an architect. This will help you to clarify what you need to do, and when you’ll need to do it.
Sun Seeker – A Home Renovation for a Growing Family, Brunswick East
We engaged CCA to design, plan, document and project manage our home renovation and extension.
Our 2 bed, modest Californian bungalow was transformed into a bright and light, 4 bed family home with dual living spaces. We had some planning challenges which CCA helped us navigate through.
We are thrilled with the end result.

Renovations and Extensions to Existing Home, Brunswick East
Thank you for your professionalism, dedication, decisiveness and committed nature to which you conducted your role as a superintendant on this project.
Having now completed a few projects it is becoming easier to recognise the architects who can combine their attention to detail, creativeness and architectural style with a practical approach to building.
I would most definitely be happy to work with you again in the future.

Melbourne Tianjin Gardens, Melbourne, Victoria (with Williams Boag Architects)
I would like to take this opportunity to express both the City of Melbourne’s and my appreciation of the effort that your company expended and the fine architectural result that has been achieved. I have received nothing but glowing reports on all aspects of the project.
I would like to personally thank Cathi Colla for her involvement and her assertive point of view in endeavouring to achieve the results of which she had asked and we would expect. She was at all times courteous and a pleasure with whom to work.
Alterations and Additions to Existing Residence, Thornbury, Victoria
I could see Cathi understood where we were at.
I knew how I wanted it to function but I didn’t know how I wanted it to look, or how it could look.
That is where Cathi came in.
Alterations to Existing Apartment, Toorak, Victoria
When we sat down with Cathi and went through the scheme I was really impressed. Cathi had listened to our requirements, addressed them, and come up with some really interesting ideas for our apartment.
I was impressed with Cathi’s attention to detail and professionalism. The work she did exceeded my expectations.

We found that the services you provided far exceeded our expectations.
We especially appreciated the time and effort you put into understanding our needs and clarifying the brief. This was very much appreciated given that we are living on the other side of the world.
