We’ll start by assessing your site and existing structures to determine the best way to highlight and expand on your home’s strengths while minimising its weaknesses. Our collaborative approach means your new home will be a unique expression of you and your life story. We will ignite your creativity and help you see the potential within (and possibly outside) your four walls; possibilities you never would have imagined will come to light. With access to high-end finishes and fixtures, we’ll recommend the products and materials that will stand the test of time, looking just as fabulous now as they will in 30 years. Our job doesn’t end there. We’ll spend hours on site during construction, working with the builders to ensure a high-quality build and attention to detail. Our experience in the construction industry and team of trusted professionals means we’ll ensure you get exceptional value for money and a level of quality rarely seen. Your home will be a joy to return to at the end of the day; the perfect pad to enjoy the rich lifestyle the inner-west has to offer. Whether your favourite pastimes are entertaining friends and family, curling up with a classic novel and escaping to fantasy land or kicking back with a glass of wine, we’ll create the perfect, tailored spaces for you to enjoy. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/5fae1f3bdd1d4d0520f66511/1605247763903/_DFP3932-Edit.jpg How we can make it happen - “We have admired Michael and Fluid Studio’s creativity for more than 10 years and have been fortunate enough to work with them on several projects over the last 5 years. It’s always a highlight to work on such exciting designs with the confidence Fluid Studio can deliver the support required. Michael’s construction knowledge provides practical methods and on-site solutions to construct and manage multiple projects. With a like-minded focus on an award-winning level of execution, Fluid Studio has provided our team with projects that challenge and motivate to achieve outstanding spaces.” — Ben N https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/601391baca0258500d53397c/1611895239438/Back-Cover-Folder-Mockup-PSD-Template.jpg How we can make it happen - Step 3: Keep an eye out for our welcome kit! Working together means you join our community, enabling you to tap into our local expertise, hand-picked builders, trades and other experts. If we think we can help you following our meeting and you’re keen to join the Fluid family, we’ll provide a proposal for our services and our welcome kit. Your welcome kit contains everything you ever wanted to know about us (and then some), an outline of our proposed services and how we can help you, your guide to working with an architect plus some more little surprises. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/601381cfc09e591b3bcdf584/1611891171795/IMG_6694.JPEG How we can make it happen - Step 2: Let’s meet! We’re going to be building something special together and, as such, it’s important we trust each other and have a good working relationship. That’s why we like to get to know you over a latte at the local cafe, onsite so we can see your bricks and mortar, over the phone or on that new-fangled tech we suddenly all operate like pros, Zoom. This initial meeting gives us a chance to get to know each other and make sure we’re a good fit. To prepare for our chat, here’s what we need to know: Your property address: we can fly there in Google Maps to get a better understanding of your home and the surrounding neighbourhood. If you don’t have a property yet, no problem, we can still help. We can discuss your general plan and we may be able to help with our pre-purchase design appraisal when you do find something. What you’re hoping to achieve: it’s a-okay if you’re not settled on this yet, but any information you can give us will help us get a feel for what you’re after and whether we’ll be able to help. A key step later in the process is developing your brief. Where you’re at in the process: some people come armed with numerous sketches and a Pinterest board bursting with ideas they’ve been preparing for years, others bought a property yesterday and need to renovate pronto before they can move in. Wherever you’re at in the process, we can help. The b-word: have you got an idea of how much you can afford to spend and you’re hoping to see what you can achieve for your budget? Maybe you’re just not sure where to start and how to work out what to spend? We can help firm up the numbers so you know what is realistic for your budget. Thoughts on a builder: some people already have a builder in mind; a friend of a friend who did a great job. If so, great! We’re happy to help you work with a builder you already trust. If not, we can help you find a builder through a competitive tendering process using builders we know and trust or those that come highly recommended from other professionals. Site photos: if you have photos of your property you can share with us, that will help speed up the conversation because, as they say, a picture says a thousand words! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/601cd04ce65d787cd6047a8c/1612501163339/ How we can make it happen - Step 1: Say Hello! Pick up the phone or fill out our contact form and get the conversation started. We know contacting an architect can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be scary. We can guide you no matter where you are in the process. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/601393ce02b66a19584a3173/1611895766343/Better.jpg How we can make it happen https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/601393e14a7935171a27d97d/1611895796213/Best.jpg How we can make it happen https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/601393aae917a10346769cea/1611895741151/Good.jpg How we can make it happen https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/6013805e21398e487d7d8565/1612477926383/IMG_6571.JPEG How we can make it happen - Concept design Consider this a back of the napkin plan of what’s possible on your site. Nothing will be set in stone, but the concept plan will reveal whether it’s really possible to fit that extra bedroom on the site without sacrificing the backyard. It will also ensure you maximise access to natural light, harness cooling breezes, prevent overlooking from the neighbours and mitigate any potential noise issues; all the things that make a house a home. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/601380a6c09e591b3bcddf0a/1612484612967/IMG_6772.JPG How we can make it happen - Cost guide All of this is sounding exciting, but there’s no use getting carried away if you can’t afford it, right? That’s why we’ll also provide a cost guide, to give you a realistic expectation of what it will cost to achieve this dream renovation. You might find dreams really can come true (on budget) with a bit of expert advice and the necessary due diligence! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/60138132edcacb700a2c3123/1612498718434/IMG_6606.jpg How we can make it happen - Site analysis We’ll take to the potential property with a magnifying glass to determine what’s possible, hunting out the assets and flagging any drawbacks. The site analysis will show the potential of the site to fulfil your needs, access to natural light and breezes, highlight any potential noise issues and unearth any restrictions like easements or covenants which may hinder your plans. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/5fae248d16932f1df5cc713a/1605248662667/_DFP4149-Edit.jpg How we can make it happen - Have a stickybeak inside one of our projects… Bold and bright thinking transforms this house into a home for a creative client in Birchgrove. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/5fac78a144e8212553854877/1605138674543/_DSC5775.jpg How we can make it happen - “Michael Manzi understood our requirements, and developed a vision for our property that transformed the space entirely. 10 years later we are still enjoying the space, and receiving complements on it. Michael is very creative, and his team were all strong craftsmen. We have now engaged him to develop our next residence.” — Michael L https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f87c1c337950455de34ea44/t/60137cc7b62a5a770e3ff810/1612497560216/_DFP4171.jpg How we can make it happen - Ready to work with Fluid Studio?
