Sarah & Christian Drysdale
Cobbitty NSW
We are very thankful to Dugald and the staff at Mackenzie Architects. They have created a stunning house for our family. Our block of land had a number of restrictions on it and Dugald were able to work with the restrictions and create a house that looks amazing and is very functional. In fact, they met our brief perfectly. We needed Mackenzie Architects to manage our DA process. They were prompt in answering my queries and managing all the reports needed to complete the process. They found solutions to problems that saved me money. Dugald and John are a pleasure to work with. I really can’t recommend them highly enough.

Stephen and Emma Richardson
Castlecrag NSW
We chose Dugald and Mackenzie Architects to design our home because they have a good local knowledge of the area, and provided an excellent preliminary design in response to our brief. They produced an impressive, strong design that suited the site well, and which received Council approval, meeting a number of conditions and restrictions. We are delighted with our new family home.

They are all very friendly, helpful and put up with our constant calls and emails in a relaxed manner.
