Project Completion
Our experience with Placemate Architects was outstanding. They did three things we appreciated, and nothing we didn't. They focused on understanding our needs and what we wanted. They, Jan specifically, consistently generated creative design options to assist in the extraordinary number of decisions that need to be made from the very big to the very small. And they matched us with exactly the right builder, the excellent Harris Constructions. Our decision to work with Placemate Architects meant we got what we wanted, on time and on budget.

Best use of a steep site
PlaceMate topped the state for best use of a sloping site over $250000 at the Queensland Master Builders Association Housing & Construction Awards. The award was for the design of two contemporary townhouses built on a 500sqm site that dropped 10m from a busy road. All the bedrooms and living areas captured picturesque city views.
Best renovation $250-$500,000
PlaceMate took home the prize at the Queensland Master Builders Association Housing & Construction Awards for the best renovation between $250,000 - $500,000. The winning renovation was a 1910 cast concrete Californian bungalow-style home in Indooroopilly. The design added a new wing and unified alterations undertaken in 50s, 70s and 80s.
Recognised in The Courier-Mail
PlaceMate's skills were recognised in The Courier-Mail for our transformation of a Shorncliffe residence originally built around 1910.
