OUR PROCESS
We make the architecture process as simple and easy as possible for you. No jargon, no confusion. Just clarity every step of the way.
01
We get to know you and your project
We listen, learn, and uncover what you really need, now and in the future, to make your space work for you. Our aim is to bring your lifestyle, your goals, and your unique story into every corner of your project, ensuring it feels distinctly yours.
02
We turn questions and discussions into proposed solutions
We are not geniuses, we don't have a design immediately sketched onto a napkin. We employ a design process and continuously test and critique our work until we believe in what is proposed.
03
We produce appropriate and thorough documentation
Our documentation is clear, detailed and relevant for each stage. From diagrammatic plans to comprehensive construction documentation the information is direct and tailored to achieve deep understandings of what is proposed.
04
We take care of approvals and the boring stuff
We handle the technical side of your project to ensure approvals are achieved, keeping close to council and/or the certifying authority so time frames don't slip away.
05
We coordinate and manage the many stages of your project
We know the right people to speak to and what we need to progress your project. We have diligent and strong communication and management skills to keep your project moving.
06
We support you and the builder through construction
We offer both general on-site services to complete contract administration of your build. We work so hard to get to this stage so we stay with you to ensure of its delivery.

From our clients
I’ve worked with Nic, Tom, and Emma on both residential and commercial projects now, and cannot speak highly enough of them
"We love the integration of old and new and how it is both seamless but obvious for what is the 'old part' and 'new part. I now know the effort that goes into this... Great work from all the team".
"Nic has recently helped our team & a client understand the opportunities he has in place for a rather large floor plate. In a changing market when companies require less & less space, nic has helped us stay on the ball & keep looking forward".
"The attention to detail is next level. It’s not just the creativity of the design, which you would expect from an architect, it’s the finer details, that when you look closely, show a considered and deliberate approach". (article)
"Bringing the names of our tugs into the design of the entry was something we never would have thought of...the team produced an excellent outcome through their design process, we enjoyed the way they presented the architecture and this has resulted in a great building for our Svitzer Newcastle HQ"
”We are excited to see construction underway for a facility that will provide the latest and most advanced maritime training and technology for pilots, tug masters, and other vessels".
"We needed a design for a renovation and rework of our bedroom, ensuite, other bathroom and bedroom. Nic and the team at Lyric Architects were terrific!"
"Nic and the teams work with other contractors and Central Coast Council has been integral at getting the project up and running due to his relentless follow up and perseverance".
"We’re halfway through building our home with Lyric Architects and couldn’t be happier with the results so far. Nic has been great to deal with, his perspectives and ideas have been exactly what we’re after and the whole process has felt very collaborative. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again"
"From first point of contact with Nic, right through to the final stages of the build, we’ve been stoked. Nic has the right level of suggestiveness, without pushing ideas onto us as clients and has a very collaborative approach."
