Client Reviews

"We're so happy we chose to work with Matt on our home. His attention to detail and care is exceptional.

His background in building helps to bridge the gap between builder, architect, and homeowner, allowing for a seamless process and great problem solving/troubleshooting.

Can't recommend him highly enough!"


- Matt Turner

"Matt is an absolute pleasure to work with. Right from the outset he inspired confidence with his engaging and solution-oriented attitude and his excellent communication. Matt is highly organised, methodical and hardworking and he has brought to our project an elegance and clarity of design and an impressive commitment and attention to detail. This in conjunction with his in-depth knowledge of building and construction has made the often challenging process of designing a new home feel straightforward and uncomplicated. We threw significant curveballs / hurdles Matt's way and without exception he has handled these with total professionalism and incredible patience.

Put simply, we cannot say enough good things about Matt and we give him our highest recommendation."

"MDA renovated our Ponsonby villa and added a new pool area. We found his attention to detail, design skills and level of quality exceptional. We strongly recommend Matt both as an architect and as a builder."
