We have engaged Noor to design us a forever home where we would transition into retirement and hopefully live for many years to come. Our section is close to the sand dunes and the wild Coastlands beach and we wanted to "bring the outdoors in" and feel like we are living in a holiday home. We wanted an energy efficient home and use the materials that will stand the test of time in the harsh environment and have minimal maintenance costs. We also wanted to have a lovely entertainment space to host our friends and family.
Noor and the team at Nala were such a pleasure to work with. Right from the get go they were clear, concise and communicated each step of the process with full transparency. We felt at ease working with a team who were well experienced in all aspects of design and execution especially with Auckland council and in managing through the heritage building process. I would not hesitate to recommend Noor and her team and if we decide on doing another renovation or new build, Noor will be our number one choice.
From the initial consultation to the final design, Noor was there every step of the way, ensuring that our brief was well understood and met our expectations. Her expertise and design skills were evident throughout the project, and her attention to detail was truly impressive.
Their expertise, creativity, advice and support went beyond our expectations.
We would recommend Noor to anyone looking to do a renovation, big or small, and especially to reno amateurs like us who need a real helping hand. We thought working with an architect would be an intimidating process but Noor was anything but. We won’t hesitate to engage her expertise again on any future projects!
I have no experience in this field and to have Noor oversee all of this process and to assist me when required made it easy. Even once the works had started, if I or the builder was unsure, she was there to help; I had a change of plans before the build, and this didn’t phase her to reapply to split the consent.
Noor was engaged to designed a new extension and renovate the remaining parts of our dated bungalow. We found Noors’ designs were clean, logical and resulted in a layout that had a natural flow while keeping within the character of the house.
Noor and the team were responsive and professional from the start. From our initial discussion, they were able to accommodate our ideas while being forthcoming with ideas and suggestions from their own experience. Nala have helped us navigate a fairly complex build & consent process and made it look easy - would recommend to any and all
Noor was recommended by a friend as she has done several projects that are similar to what I wanted to do (splitting a large dwelling into home & income). I have never dealt with an architect directly before and Noor made the process simple and straight forward. Noor understood my brief and objective and the drawings have exceeded my expectations. I am happy with the results and would definitely engage Noor & Nala Studio Architects in my other projects.
We engaged Nala Architects for a renovation/ extension on our house. Noor took the time to understand our brief and our budget. She was patient and professional with both us and our builder and engineer throughout the whole process. She took us through options and provided helpful advice along the way. The end result exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Nala Architects to our friends and family.
From my initial meeting left first impression that I could trust Noor. That was most important aspect of our future business relationship My brief was understood and Noor was always steering my attention in right direction and it was always pleasure to work with Noor. Results were always good. I would use Nala Studio’s services again as trust was driving factor alongside Noor’s brilliant skills.
I engaged Nala Studio to assist with my first development project. From the first meeting Noor explained the process and the different project phases clearly and was generous with her professional advice even before engaging her. During the project she was always quick to respond to any queries and always made you feel welcome to ask and responded with an enthusiastic and helpful manner. Since this was my first project I asked a lot of questions and Noor was always patient and took her time explaining her response to me in plain words. Thank you for your work Noor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
After the first meeting with Noor we felt very relieved and reassured after having a very unsuccessful and trying experience with another architect from another firm.
We have worked with Noor and the Team at Nala studio Architects for a number of years now, across a range of projects, great design and vision, easy to read plans, very responsive and professional.
As an engineering firm, it’s crucial to find good partners to work with. We have worked with Nala Studio Architects on multiple projects and have found them dedicated, knowledgeable, efficient, organised and professional. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Noor and her team for any residential and commercial project.
We engaged Noor to design our Bach in Taupo. We found Noor to be very engaged, client focused and understood the brief, while allowing some of her architectural flair to prevail. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Noor again in the future and look forward to our build progressing soon.
Noor was recommended to me by a friend in the Construction Industry who felt she would be ideal in respect to what I was looking for. This proved to be the right decision and I found dealing with Noor was a pleasure with her understanding what I was looking for and conceptually embracing that and offering suggestions to make the process unfold without any major dramas.
Nala Studio Architects have done several pieces of work for me and my extended family. Their work on my Eban Avenue house resulted in a sale price of 35% above CV. They turned my 70s built 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house to a modern, functional 4 bedroom 2 bathroom with a media room.
From the get go, Nala Studio Architects provided an excellent service. Always willing to go the extra mile for the projects success. Problem solving and strategic changes in the design phase made a smooth transition into the build process. It would be a pleasure to work with Nala Studio Architects again. Thank you for designing our forever home!
So when we had our first zoom with Noor it was like a breath of fresh air. Someone who listened to what we wanted and had a plan in place which suited us exactly. In fact, she had put so much thought behind everything that we didn't have much to modify from her first draft.
We engaged Noor (Nala Studio Architects) back in 2020 to redesign our 1930s bungalow and garage. From the very beginning Noor has been responsive and really clear in her communications. We enjoy her style of operates and really enjoy working with her. We would and do recommend Noor, and will continue to use her on a number of future projects.
I engaged Noor Keary from Nala Studio Architects to help us with renovating our old Mt Eden villa and convert it to a modern family home with a new separate unit for my teenage sons.
The surprise we had when compared to other Architects we’ve previously used was how well the Nala team had obviously listened to our brief and came up with smart ways to integrate all our requirements into our space.
The team at Nala Studios was also incredibly friendly, professional, and approachable. They were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and treated us with the utmost respect.
One of the things that really stood out to me about Nala Studio Architects was how cost-effective they were. I had a set budget in mind for the renovation, and Noor and her team ensured the architectural designs could be built within that budget to create a beautiful, functional spaces that exceeded my expectations.
We had a fantastic experience working with Nala Architects on our deck and additional bedroom project. They managed the entire process seamlessly, including obtaining council consent in Auckland. They were easy to deal with, listened to our needs, and delivered everything in a timely manner. Their professionalism and efficiency made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommended!
One of the most impressive aspects of working with Nala Studio Architects is their ability to deliver projects on time and within budget—a critical factor in the education sector. Their efficient project management and proactive communication give us confidence that each stage of the process is handled with care and precision
We had a very positive experience working with Noor, Andrew and the team . They were collaborative, approachable, and always available for consultations throughout the process. They brought thoughtful solutions to the table and were responsive to our needs and ideas. While there were some unexpected challenges and delays along the way, their professionalism, creativity, and problem-solving made a meaningful difference. We’re pleased with the final result and truly appreciated their dedication and open communication.
