"We chose Chan architecture to project manage and design our new home after an interview process.

Anthony and his team worked very closely with us in designing, planning and building/renovating our home from start to finish. The time frames set were adhered to and we moved into our home within our contract time.

We found Anthony and his team extremely professional, easy going and great to work with. They listened to what our goals/needs were in our new home and what was important to us in the design and building process. They also guided us with all the exterior/interior aspects of fittings/costings which helped us stay within our budget and take alot of the stress out.

We would be very happy to use Chan Architecture again in the future if we ever needed too. We couldn't be happier with the end result, our home is everything we expected and fits our needs perfectly."

"We engaged Anthony Chan to participate in the renovation of our 25 year old house. The house was in good working condition but we wanted to update and modernise the various areas to better suit our use and needs. In addition, the project included building an art studio away from the main house.

The design phase took about 4 months where Anthony discussed our requirement extensively and then came up with solutions and new ideas. Besides communicating with us, Anthony also worked well with the engineering firms, the many suppliers such as the kitchen cabinet representatives, the tile shop, and the window suppliers.

Anthony assisted us in finding a suitable builder and acted as our representative during the renovation phase to make sure that the project was completed as designed and specified, on time and within budget.

We are very pleased with the result and have no hesitation in recommending Anthony Chan to any prospective client."

"In August 2011 we purchased a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom Victorian home in Hawthorn East. To describe it as a “renovator’s delight” would be somewhat of an understatement. Whilst it has a lovely Hawthorn brick façade and a classic Victorian look, it was bordering on unliveable at the time of purchase. As first home owners we were excited, but incredibly nervous, about the process we were about to embark on.

We engaged Chan Architecture in September 2011 to design and oversee our renovation. The brief was to fully renovate the interior and exterior of the existing home, adding an ensuite and WIR to the master bedroom in the process.

Anthony Chan oversaw our project with the assistance of senior architect, Mei Yang. From our very first meeting with Anthony and Mei we felt vindicated in our decision to buy and renovate our first home. Anthony and Mei worked in tandem to keep the project (and their clients!) focussed and on track – their complimentary skills sets meant that we had creativity, attentiveness, experience, good humour and a practical solution at our finger tips throughout the entire process.

Renovating such an old home (built in the 1890’s) brings with it tremendous uncertainty and the possibility of surprises. Through their meticulous planning and skilled project management, Anthony and Mei kept the surprises to an absolute minimum. The end result was a beautiful and stylish renovation delivered on time and on budget, which we and our kids absolutely love.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Chan Architecture to potential clients and would be happy to provide further feedback upon request."

"Chan Architecture provided a full service from design through construction supervision with a renovation of a two level house to add a third level and a room extension on the bottom level. Anthony combined innovative and attractive design with practical building solutions that made the project affordable.

Prior to construction we moved overseas and Anthony and his staff provided effective communications on all the critical issues. He regularly e-mailed photographs to keep us up to date and with 3d drawing images we were able to provide effective input where required.

Site reports including cost management were sent monthly allowing us adequate project oversight. Importantly Anthony has worked diligently with the construction contractor ensuring timely and effective resolution of outstanding issues after construction completion.

We are delighted with the result which has enhanced the look, liveability and value of the house significantly."

"In Dec. 2012, we engaged Chan Architecture from a recommendation of our friend who was a former client of Anthony Chan to design and project manage our extensive house renovation. We have an English Cottage styled house with many separate and disconnected rooms, as well as small bathrooms. We wanted a modern feel for the rear of the house by adopting an open concept and bringing the outside in.

We were based overseas and relied almost entirely on Anthony and Michelle to manage and oversee the entire project. We kept in close communication through emails, skype and phone calls and knew we could count on them to get the job done.

We are very impressed with the standard of professionalism displayed by Anthony and Michelle. They were able to take our vision for the house and execute it down to every little detail.

It was a dream come true to see our house transformed. Because of Anthony and Michelle’s hard work, we now have a smooth flow of traffic coming in from the entrance leading to the rear renovation in maximising the north facing aspect and view of the pool. We simply love our new open kitchen concept, informal dining and entertainment area.

The new downstairs bedroom en-suite and walk in wardrobe was well incorporated with the whole house and stylishly designed. Now, we have a balcony upstairs, taking full advantage of the beautiful city views to the west.

Thanks to Anthony, we now have a wonderfully designed home to unwind and relax. It was truly a pleasure to work with Anthony and his team and we strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a house transformation."

"Anthony is an exceptional architect. He designed our renovation last year in Prahran and it is totally amazing. So much light, great use of space and so many cupboards, it's like a dream!

He worked extremely well with our Interior Designer, Mardi Doherty of Doherty Design Studio. The house is magazine quality and is going in a magazine this year.

Anthony has a very calming personality, and nothing is too difficult. His attention to detail is unbelievable, and his project management skills are second to none. The builders said he had the most detailed, comprehensive drawings they'd ever seen.

We would recommend him to anyone."

"We would like to formally acknowledge the tremendous assistance that you and your team at Chan Architecture have provided us throughout the whole process of designing, building, and project
managing our new home build.

From the very beginning we were impressed with your thoughtfulness and attention to detail and consideration of all our requirements. And this did not waiver, even throughout the respective one
year design and one year build phase.

We are very grateful for your inspired vision! Together with the builder’s attention to detail this has given us a beautiful modern home that we will be able to enjoy with our family and friends for years to come. The gulf in comfort, sophistication and style between our old and new home could not have been greater!

You gave us the confidence and delivered an amazing result, and we cannot highly recommend enough your services and team to anyone looking to build a modern house, customised to meet
their every requirement."

"We followed Anthony Chan's architectural career for 7 years prior to engaging him as our architect three years ago. From an architectural perspective we had been impressed with the other similar type products that he had undertaken for clients.

The decision as to which architectural firm one chooses is an important one.

For us it was not just based on a perceived creative ability, but finding a firm that we could trust and that would respect and help us achieve our wishes. After three years working hand in glove with Anthony and his team they have certainly ticked all those boxes.

We found that over the three years we have not just benefitted from Chan's creative expertise, but his considerable commercial experience and astute judgement. All of which has at various time been important to us with our dual townhouse development.

Chan has mustered together a hand picked team. We have found great confidence in working with Rick Meachem. An accomplished architect with considerable expertise. A tireless professional.

Chan Architecture have enabled us to create two contemporary townhouses with a distinct WOW factor. Chan from the outset was intent upon helping us create something special with a distinct contemporary character. Having concluded the project, this has materialised as we frequently experience cars stopping outside our townhouses in awe at their design and appeal.

A feature of working with Chan architecture is that they listened.

Furthermore they afforded us scope to include what we wanted in our new home.

We have been in our home for four weeks and it is a dream come true thanks to Chan Architecture."
