“We are so happy we used Playoust Churcher Architects for a major renovation of our Lower North Shore home. This complex architectural job combined advanced engineering, design and innovation and a creative approach to modern living. Playoust Churcher supported us from conception to completion – and well beyond.

 

They understood our lifestyle and desire for a collaborative approach and delivered us a dream home with which it would be hard to be happier. We’re delighted to recommend Playoust Churcher to anyone building or renovating a prestige home in Sydney.”

Justin & Marek

“We provided a very detailed brief on the design and the requirements both in terms of how it would support our family as it grew over time in addition to the design features that were important to us. We were thrilled with the concept and design they delivered. It ticked all the boxes.

 

We felt very confident the team understood our brief in terms of the design and how we hoped to live. They also showed an understanding of the financial requirements and cost issues that are really important whenever you undertake any renovation project.”

Nadia & Jamieson

 “Playoust Churcher Architects had an inherent understanding of the brief, and the design created a classic Roseville family home with wonderful proportions, depth and detail.

 

It’s now recognised as a stand-out in the area – people slow down and stare as they drive past.”

Kate & Scott

“When Brett and John came they just listened. John is so talented that we just trust him. I told John what I wanted our home to look like and to go for it. John can draw the designs upside down all by hand and you know exactly what he is doing. He is really talented and that was very obvious from the beginning. He is so passionate about what he does.

 

They were respectful of costs and just listened to what we wanted. There is a lot to say for architects that listen. The house works perfectly with our needs – there is a flow that works beautifully.”

How do you design for coastal conditions and lifestyle needs?

We select durable materials and design strategies suited for seaside climates—such as corrosion resistance, shade planning, and natural air flow. Our goal is to support lifestyle priorities like outdoor living, beach access, and family flow.

Is this type of seaside home design suitable for other Northern Beaches suburbs?

Absolutely. The architectural principles used here—light-filled interiors, coastal orientation, flexible zoning—are adaptable to suburbs like Dee Why, Freshwater or Narrabeen.
