Testimonials
29 October 2015
Shane O'Riley was chosen to design our new home in 2011. He was chosen ahead of others because we thought his ideas and design qualities were more modern and refreshing than other architects and designers.
​
The design and planning stage took two years during which we spent countless hours working closely enabling him to work up detailed designs. He displayed patience and understanding of our requirements for our new home. His ability to interpret our needs and reflect them architecturally has been fantastic.
​
Shane's application and commitment has been exceptional. In many instances he would work on a particular problem all night to ensure we had a solution the following day.
​
Our home has been built by Zorzi Homes and whilst I have asked both Shane O'Riley and Zorzi Homes to respect our privacy and not enter our house in any home, architecture or design magazines / competitions, I am certain that the design and construction of my home would win many awards.
​
My home should be completed early 2016. Both my wife and I are excited to see how our desires in living layout has been so carefully and creatively reflected in a modern architectural way. I have no hesitation in recommending Shane O'Riley to anyone looking to design and construct a modern and exciting new home.
​
Regards,
Nick Tana

​Mr. Shane O'Riley has been a school board member for the last twelve months here at Sacred Heart School Highgate. During that time he has been able to advise and support the school in its building programme which is currently taking place.
​
Shane is the proprietor of his own Building Design Company, and his experience in this field has been critical to the progress of our building development. I would recommend Shane as being a very creative, clear thinking and practical designer who prides himself on making sure his work is detailed, clear and easy to understand. He is also a person who listens to what his client wants and makes this his main design brief when he develops his plans.
​
I would not hesitate to recommend Shane to anyone who was taking on a building project of any size.
​
Regards,
​
Chris Dunning
Principal
