Testimonials
“Watershed Architects and their principal Mark were professional throughout what is a lengthy and daunting design and build process for someone not in the industry. They successfully created an approachable and friendly environment whilst driving and navigating the lengthy design and build process. Not only is the final product exceptionally beautiful but throughout, they made it easy for us to understand and make decisions presented in an easily digested form. What needs to be understood is that it is a lengthy partnership, so comfort and trust is of upmost importance and Watershed provides both. I would have no hesitation in recommending their business to anyone who wants a truly unique and functional Architectual home for their family.”
“We first reached out to Watershed Architects because of their incredible body of work. The consistency and quality of the finished product was simply amazing. Their style embodied the warmth and connectedness between indoor and outdoor living that we wanted for our own family home.
Upon meeting Mark and Carolyn we knew we had found the people we could trust to make our ideas a reality. They were absolutely wonderful to work with and the relationship they developed with the builders meant the whole experience was a positive one that we’ll always cherish.
The previous home, built 65 years ago, had reached the end of its lifecycle. While wonderfully designed in its day, it was no longer fit for purpose. The new design works better within the landscape, with a more seamless transition between levels that allows us to utilise more of the home and surrounding environment. The quality of the structure we have now is so much better equipped to deal with the coastal climate and allows us choice over the degree of openness or privacy that we enjoy in and around our home”
“We chose Watershed because we loved their distinctive and very Australian design aesthetic.
Throughout the process, our approach was to put a lot of trust in Watershed, even when we felt nervous regarding whether elements of the design would work. We were very glad we took this approach once we could see the final product!
The design undertaken prior to the tender process for the builder was very detailed and took a lot of the risk out of our project. We were very impressed with the superb attention to detail across all elements of our house.
Watershed did an excellent job of project-managing the build. They were highly attentive, managed a tight process and worked collaboratively with the builder (JT Construct).
We look forward to finding an opportunity to work with Watershed Design again in the future.”

OUR PRACTICE
In our work we strive to engender a deep connection to the location, the site context and climate. We value the traditions of craftsmanship and use materials that sit harmoniously in their environment.
We have strong relationships with local builders whose knowledge and experience we access in order to build certainty around budgets and ensure quality and value for our clients. We’re especially proud of the relationships we have built with our clients and the testimonials we have received.
