“Monique brings a rare combination of hard-nosed reasoned thinking, strong practical and creative design ideas plus an intuitive approach that really provided superior analysis. She handles large and complex jobs very professionally and calmly while also giving dedication and care to small individual jobs. Personally she is a great listener, has tremendous integrity and terrific people skills, all much needed qualities in property.
If you have ever wished there was a design expert able to address both internal and external property aspects, understand your needs, bring fresh, incisive thinking to your perspective within your budget - then your wish has been granted!”

“Monique and I worked together recently when she project managed a high quality, large scale, residential re-build that my team handled in Bronte, a job which spanned 12 months. Over that time I was very impressed with Monique's skills as a Project Manager. I found her to have excellent organizational and communication skills and a calm personality.
From a builder’s perspective, she was really easy to work with. Her substantial knowledge of the building process and industry made the whole project so much less stressful than it could have otherwise been. Monique knew what was and what wasn't possible and was flexible when the inevitable changes arose - typical during a job of that scale, while never compromising the quality or the brief. The end result was a residence that rates as one of the best jobs I have ever led”.

“We loved this place. The effortless combination of traditional and contemporary means the best of both worlds. It was easy to find yourself drifting back in time trying to imagine the kind of life the first owners must have had, while sipping a nicely chilled Sauvignon in the luxurious bath. There were nice touches throughout the house: ipod player, top notch bbq, a gazebo for quieter moments, a fantastically located outdoor dining area, coffee maker, open fire! We will be coming back!!”

“Simpson Cottage was the perfect venue for our family Christmas celebrations. The house oozes old world charm without compromising on modern amenities. The spacious kitchen and bathroom had all the mod cons, while at the same time, blending in fantastically with the old world feel of the rest of the cottage. Our stay there was relaxing and really enjoyable. The property was very cozy but still capable of easily accommodating eight people. We spent most of our time at the outside table, enjoying the magnificent views and taking full advantage of the close proximity to the water for occasional dips. It's a great place to visit and very hard to leave. We'll definitely be back.”

“When we decided to redesign and renovate our home we wanted to find a designer who not only had great design ideas, but who was sympathetic to our needs as a family and worked really hard to make the most of our budget.
The result is amazing.
A beautifully designed and finished home, that is easy and practical for us to live in.”
