Testimonials
“After over 20 years living in our house, we decided to adapt it to our vision. Being able to change your house to make everyday life and well-being better in many different ways, is a privilege and benefits from the input of many.
Finding an architect who listens carefully, not only to design wishes but also budget considerations is a task in itself.
Working with Stefanie from Stead & Co was a tremendously pleasant affair after a couple of failed attempts with other architects. We felt being heard and treated as equals in the process and benefitted from Stefanie’s expertise, ideas and guidance in the building process. I
t felt good to have her in the team, readily responding when questions or challenges arose and providing solutions. We made future-proofing our house a priority, in terms of energy conservation and older age living and we used recyclable materials where possible.
Stefanie is a great ally for sustainability and led the long-term vision of the house. We are delighted with the result and enjoy living in our ‘new’ house, which is now ready for its and our next 50 years”
