"Renuka is a talented and creative architect. Her design perfectly  combines my vision of a warehouse renovation with the practical needs of  a modern residence and the constraints and limitations of the existing  building. I found Renuka very friendly and easy to work with.  She always listened  to my ideas and provided advice or alternatives when needed. She took  time to explain the process and she supported and guided me through each  step. She was flexible and accommodating of my needs and made everything  very easy for me. Renuka is very familiar with the local regulations and provided valuable  advice and recommendations. I was impressed with Renuka's careful, detailed and professional work  and I would happily recommend her to others."

"I had heard may negative stories regards renovating, but found none of  them to be true  whilst using RMR Architects for the renovation of our  1926 Californian Bungalow.  Renuka listened to what I wanted for the  home and delivered a design that exceeded our expectations.  Innovative  solutions to awkward spaces ensure our home flows seamlessly and is as  practical as it is beautiful, with the inclusion of architectural  details that make our home unique and interesting.  Her great rapport  with the builder ensured that the speedy resolution of any problems were  conducted with a high quality outcome always a priority.  We love the  results and are thrilled that her design for this home was commended in  the 2014 Architeam Awards."

"We first approached RMR to help us with conceptualising a second storey extension and extending our downstairs living area. Renuka was able  to provide some amazing ideas, that really helped us to  understand what we could achieve and ultimately visualise how the  finished renovation would look.  We contracted RMR to complete the final designs, help us find a builder  and manage the project to completion. We were extremely happy with how  the project went and found it really valuable to have someone you could  trust to work on your behalf with the builder and simplify the many  decisions you need to make.  

I have been extremely happy with the renovation and would recommend RMR  to anyone looking to renovate their property. Renuka did an amazing job  with the design and the extension really complements the original  design. A lot of thought was put into the small details of the design,  which has really helped to make it look natural. We love the final  results.

"My wife and I had immense difficulty in trying to work out how our  renovated home should look like. After some years of going around in  circles on our own, we engaged Renuka as our architect and landed the  problem in her lap!  Renuka spent a few days looking at our specific needs and aspirations  and then challenged us to imagine what our dream home would look like.  We have her quite a list of requirements and a few weeks later she  presented us with an amazing design for our dream home!  Now having lived in that dream home, 15 years on, I am happy to say that  we still come home after work and have a smile on our face when we walk  in. That wow factor is still there! This amazing architect has transformed what we saw as impossible and  competing requirements into a beautiful and much loved home."

"We  highly recommend RMR Architects, we chose them to help us with ideas  for a renovation. We found them very helpful and professional and gave  them the go ahead with the process They recommended builders, and  throughout the project Renuka was on top of everything. Her presence was  so, that the builders were nervous upon her onsite meetings. She was  there through out the project, making sure builders did the work to  required standards and our satisfaction. Interior she gave us ideas with  paint, tile colour and flooring as well as stockists which made the  process effortlessly for me. I highly recommend her. Their  professionalism and expertise was invaluable to us."

"Renuka listened to my requirements and came up with a variety of practical solutions. This resulted in a floor plan that turned an ordinary 'box' building to something very interesting. She clearly explained all processes involved with the project and was specially willing to answer any questions when changes had to be made during construction. We had regular phone calls and detailed minutes of meetings with architect, builder and myself. Renuka chased up paperwork from the builder etc. Time line took a little longer than expected, but that was due to building issues.  Renuka did a thoroughly professional job. I'm willing to recommend Renuka to anyone. Very happy with the result of the design and final outcome. "

"My partner and I approached Renuka to help design our first home. Her  attention to detail, maximising usable space and providing a very modern  feel was more than we could have asked for. In addition, constant  communication in relation to alternate suggestions, to what we had  originally asked for, was a real pleasure - as we had never thought of  such options.  Renuka’s professionalism throughout the entire journey was exceptional,  which made it a lot more enjoyable to us. She is extremely passionate  about what she does and how she does it, which is reflected in all her  work.  We cannot recommend Renuka and her team highly enough. We will  definitely knock on her door for our second build!"

"We engaged Renuka of RMR Architects to renovate our house some years  ago. She listened to our brief with care and came up with a different  approach we had not thought of. Our small 2 bed roomed  weatherboard house was kept with a few alterations and a substantial  new extension was added. With this design the house could be used as  one large house or two connected independent units. This has allowed us  to stay in our family home as we aged, but always with companionship.  Initially with our adult children, then university aged grandchildren  and others.  Later, we engaged Renuka to renovate our bathroom which refreshed the  look and also provided enhanced accessibility features.  We love our home and we are very happy with all the work she has done. It has served us so well over the years. We have no hesitation in  recommending RMR Architects."

"I have engaged RMR Architects to design and assist individuals who  have been challenged and need to modify their surroundings as they get  older or dealing with disabilities. Renuka's care and attention to detail was  exceptional and she was very pleasant to deal with and with no hesitation would  I recommend Renuka's work."

"I have photographed a couple of projects by RMR Architects and have  found Renuka to be a thoughtful architect who not only addresses the  need of her clients but provides them with a house design that is  elegant and very liveable."
