Sarah Lake Architects

Sarah designed our dream home "No Rezzavations" and we couldn't be happier with her work. She is exceptionally creative, practical, an excellent communicator and supportive throughout the project. Sarah listens to what the client needs and pairs that with her superb design skills and knowledge of the industry to make the build something we feel really proud and happy to live in. Highly recommend!

We are the proud owners of the house "passive solar house design" recently featured on your site by Sarah Lake who designed and managed the build. Sarah is down to earth and professional and equal parts creative and practical and was able to give us fresh perspectives on what was possible. During the build if something had to be done, Sarah was always on top of it and after this experience I would always recommend having an architect stay on throughout the process. Sarah was also always cogniscent of the budget and we think the end result, particularly given all the constraints, is truly remarkable. The northern light dapples into all parts of the extension, we are surrounded by greenery and have watched birds and at other times, thunderstorms rolling in, from the expansive windows. The winter sun warms up the slab keeping the place beautifully warm and cross ventilation and other features keep it cool; we don't even have aircon. It is an absolutely inspiring and beautiful (and maintenance free!) space to live in.

Sarah designed and project managed building of the renovation to our home in Thornbury, Victoria. She was creative, practical, patient and excellent in both her design skills and problem solving skills. Our renovation was to a period style home. Sarah kept the integrity of its period features at the front, but transformed the back into a modern, spacious, energy efficient family home, within budget. She worked really well with the builder and communicated all aspects of the building and design process to us throughout every stage. The final result was beautiful. Her design insights into thoughtful, original and functional design were invaluable.
