“Natalie was fantastic! We had quite a bumpy DA process with Northern Beaches Council due to some objections and there was a real possibility that we were going to be rejected. Thankfully, we had Natalie as our secret weapon and she pulled out all the stops to prove to the planner that our design was compliant. We wouldn’t have achieved our approval without her.
We highly recommend her.”

We LOVE our beautiful home and we wouldn’t be living in it now if it wasn’t for Natalie. Highly recommended!”

“Natalie was involved in creating the internal and external concepts for our home renovation from the very beginning. Having never done a renovation before, her expertise was invaluable. She has fantastic knowledge and has a great eye for layout and workable spaces. We also had her design the layouts for three bathrooms, which made the whole process easier and less stressful. Natalie not only created our whole plan, but she also co-ordinated our landscaping plan with landscape designers and created and submitted our DA to council. All of this was done in a professional and timely manner. As I sit here in my newly renovated home, I’m very appreciative of all she did to get us here!! Thanks again Natalie!”

“We sort interior design assistance for our new build Lane Cove House. While we had a great experience with the building designer, we elected to branch out for interior advise. We found Natalie to be very professional, engaging and genuinely interested in our project. She took us out of our comfort zone in a few areas and we really appreciate the outcome.
Design fees where well and truly covered by trade discounts obtained on the purchase of furniture and fittings. Its a no brainer.”

“I have worked with Natalie from Look Design Group for many years now. Her designs consistently eye catching, while at the same time being a functional part of the home. She is fantastic at taking a clients dream and vision and turning it into reality. With her help the finished product always exceeds the clients expectations. She has a very good understanding of construction and her plans always make the building process much easier. You can always tell when Natalie has been part of a project. If you are after a great, functional design and want the building process as streamlined as much as possible I would thoroughly recommend Look Design Group.”

“Natalie and the team at Look Design did a fantastic job making our dream home a reality! She guided us novice renovators every step of the way on the journey from concept sketches through to full architectural plans to council & builder. In addition, she offered countless design suggestions for internal space, always conscious of how we would be actually living in the space. Thankyou Natalie and team, I would highly recommend!!”

“On a friend’s recommendation we contacted Natalie Andersen of Look Design Group to discuss a major renovation to our house in Mosman.”

“I engaged Natalie Andersen (Look Design) in March 2015 following a very poor experience with an Architect working on the design of my Renovation, which is an extensive rebuild of a two storey house in Balmoral with a spend of $2m.
Plans were already in place from the previous architect that I was pleased with, but I was delighted that when Natalie took over the project, she suggested alternative plans for the house that better reflected the way the family would be living, the layout of the house to maximise daylight and importantly, ways of eliminating unnecessary costs.
Natalie works at a pace and with an energy that has delivered to every milestone that was agreed at the start of the project. She clearly shows a passion and ownership for the project in that she and her team spend so much time in the planning and design, that when obstacles emerge she will proactively get on the phone or in her car to personally get them resolved or negotiate the best outcome. This is so helpful to me as a client in that I am not experienced in the nuances or pitfalls of dealing with Councils, certifiers and particularly builders and you just know that Natalie will be onto the issue and will deliver the right outcome for the client.
The build has now started and Natalie’s experience and guidance in selecting the right builder was absolutely invaluable, not only in producing the extremely detailed tender documents, but in the support and advice during the selection process.
By the time the build will be complete at the end of this year, I will have worked with Natalie for nearly 20 months. I am not the easiest person to work with, but Natalie’s great sense of humour, professionalism and pragmatic approach has made the whole experience actually enjoyable bordering on “fun” and I would have no hesitation either publically or privately in recommending her.”

“Natalie provided us with our internal room drawings including all joinery, lighting and windows schedules. Her team also picked up problems with the roof design of the previous architect. She was very prompt in meeting deadlines and very helpful in choosing tiles. We also appreciated her professional assistance along the way with last minute changes and lodging documentation with council. She is very friendly and easy to work with.”

“Generous with her time and knowledge, Natalie is the first to harness a creative challenge – the extensive renovation of our tiny terrace. With clever use of space and design, Natalie managed to accommodate our requirements whilst still complying with council development constraints.
Her enthusiasm for design is contagious. Her friendly and professional approach refreshing. Why wouldn’t we recommend her services?”

“After a long search for a bathroom designer I was thrilled to be directed to Natalie of the Look Design Group. Natalie proved to be the consummate professional. Her expertise and knowledge of current trends and materials and her sympathetic eye to the feel and look of our house, meant that the design she created truly encompassed all the design elements I had been hoping to accomplish. Natalie was available at all times to assist in the choice of tiles and fixtures for two bathrooms and it seemed that nothing was too much or too hard for her. The end result was outstanding and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Natalie from Look Design Group.”

“I contracted Look Interior Design, to provide a unique design for our house renovation in Clovelly. The project was a full renovation with only 2 walls left on the original house.
If you require a superior design and finish to your project, i would openly recommend the Look Interior Design team.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Natalie throughout the renovation of our home. Being our first renovation it was overwhelming knowing how much had to be done and how many decisions needed to be made. Prior to commencement Natalie reviewed our plans and recommended a number of simple changes which have made all the difference to the end product. Having Natalie draw plans for the bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, pantry, study, and BBQ area made the whole process less daunting. Natalie is a pro at design, colours and lighting which ensured the whole project worked together. It was fantastic having someone shopping with you and make suggestions that you might not have otherwise thought of. It was even better having someone send you emails with additional thoughts along the way. We thank her for her enormous patience, understanding and suggestions as we worked through the 7 months. We are thrilled with all recommendations and delighted with the end product.”

“It was highly worthwhile having Natalie design our 2 new bathrooms and walk in robe. She had some fantastic ideas and as a result we have made much better use of the space available.
The layout of the bathrooms works beautifully and they look fantastic.”

“On a friend’s recommendation we contacted Natalie Andersen of Look Design Group to discuss a major renovation to our house in Mosman. Our initial meeting was the beginning of a close and productive working relationship. We have engaged Natalie in all stages of the project to ensure its success. This includes design, council approval, and all the documentation and drawings necessary.
Natalie is very easy to communicate with and we really appreciated her patience throughout the process. She has helped us with the selection of fixtures and fittings and is always happy to answer any queries as the renovation progresses.
Natalie has always been willing to listen to our ideas and thoughtfully design a home to suit our lifestyle and budget. We highly recommend Natalie and Look Design for your project big or small.”

Jacqui and Antony Griffiths, 2013
Natalie’s attention to detail in planning and finishes has been a great asset in realising the best possible outcome for this project. I have found Natalie is willing to communicate not only with myself, but also the builders and trades onsite to ensure everyone is ‘buying’ into the success of this project. If you require a superior design and finish to your project, I would openly recommend the Look Design Group team.”
Brian Freeman, 2013
“We have totally different tastes when it comes to renovating and interior design. We found it such a difficult process! How great was it when Natalie came to our rescue with a 2 hour introductory design consultation.
Natalie’s broad knowledge and professional assistance helped us with the decision making process. It was the best $300 we have ever spent!”
William & Rialize Nel, Forestville, 2011
“With construction already underway on a recent townhouse development, my builder suggested consulting Natalie to identify more effective ways to use space within some of the functional areas. Having already had design input from the architect I was originally hesitant to incur additional cost and unsure that there would be any real benefit.
However Natalie’s input dealt so effectively with the issues identified that I was happy to appoint her to take on a broader role in the design and specifications for the entire project. While this led to some significant changes the outcome was faultless – resulting in not only a more functional use of space but a contemporary finish that met our needs.
Natalie’s fresh approach, enthusiasm and genuine ‘value add’ on this project led me to utilise her services in undertaking a refurbishment of my own home, again with impressive results. I plan to use Natalie’s services in my next project, involving her from the outset.”
Matt & Donna Byrne, Mosman, 2010
I needed someone or some organisation who could do construction drawings, consult with my builder and I regularly throughout the building project, but for less money than the architect was quoting. I also needed someone with talent and knowledge of cutting edge interior design, space planning, a good understanding of the colour pallet and capable of delivering everything I needed on time. This is where Look came into the picture. After a consultation with Natalie Andersen from Look Design Group it took only seconds for me to realise that this was the organisation to manage my project. Natalie completed on time all the detailed drawings for the house. She consulted with my builder and I on a weekly basis with the end result being a house that my family and I love living in, a house that flows and has all the mod cons one could want.
I found Natalie’s knowledge of bespoke design, building and construction incredible. She saved me thousands, kept the build on budget and on time creating a dwelling that is visually stunning. Natalie has an array of lighting, carpet, tiles and interior fixture supplier contacts that only an insider would know about. She found the perfect fixtures and fittings for the house and did all this for a very competitive fee.
Natalie and her team exceeded all my expectations and made the daunting process of building a $5 million dollar home simple.
