Jeremy at Studio Brick brought fresh ideas and creativity to our renovation project, all completed to a very high standard with impeccable attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and a very reliable, trustworthy approach. We are so excited about our house.

We used Studio Brick Architects to help design and build our dream home, we presented our original sketch, that we had drawn on an A4 piece of paper to Jeremy and from there on he enhanced our design putting his own thoughts and ideas into our original concept.
Jeremy was easy to work with during the build process, we made some small changes half way through the build and Jeremy was most accomodating with these.
The house when it was finished was beyond our expectations and would recommend Jeremy to anyone contemplating a renovation or new build.

As a builder who recently collaborated with Jeremy on a major renovation of a very remote 70 year old farm house, I can confidently recommend him for any architectural project. From the beginning , Jeremy demonstrated a remarkable ability to translate the clients vision into a practical design that was buildable and modern but retained that farm house look and feel. He was also the project manager on behalf of the owners that reside in Canada and his communication skills bridged the gap between builder and client seamlessly.
One of the key highlights of working with Jeremy was his outstanding responsiveness. Given the remote location of this particular project, quick turnaround times for drawing changes were essential, and Jeremy excelled in this area. Whenever we needed adjustments or encountered unforeseen challenges, he provided revised plans swiftly and efficiently. This agility not only kept our schedule on track but also minimized potential delays on-site and kept the budget in check.
We are looking forward to working alongside Jeremy again in the future and highly recommend his expertise.

It was a real pleasure working with Jeremy on our custom home build last year.
Jeremy took the time to understand our vision, offered thoughtful design solutions, and was responsive and easy to collaborate with throughout the process.
Our project was unique in that we were also managing the build ourselves; we found Jeremy to be an invaluable asset—offering consistent support, flexibility, and a collaborative mindset every step of the way. One thing I’ve especially appreciated since moving in is how he took the surrounding houses into account—carefully placing windows to maximise our privacy without sacrificing natural light. It’s the kind of detail that makes a big difference in our day-to-day living.
Jeremy was easy to communicate with, receptive to ideas, and quick to offer smart solutions. His recent experience building his own home also meant he had up-to-date knowledge of materials and products, which was incredibly helpful to guide our decision making.
Jeremy brought both professionalism and expertise to the project, and we were confident in his ability throughout. We’d gladly recommend him to anyone undertaking a similar project.

We have worked with Jeremy for a previous project and we are currently working with him on our next. Jeremy was great at taking our wish lists, capturing our vision and has created spaces that are stylish and functional for the site. We were very impressed how responsive he was to our feedback, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Jeremy has an incredible eye for detail and Architectural design and we hope to work with him again in the future.

James Bros worked with Jeremy from Studio Brick Architects between 2022 and 2024 on a project based on Waiheke island.
Building a home on an island brings unique challenges—access, weather, and strict environmental considerations—but working with Jeremy from Studio Brick Architects made the process seamless. The design is great and embraces the island’s lifestyle while also accounting for the more practical aspects of construction.
Jeremy was always available and provided information and drawings promptly when we needed them, which makes a huge difference out here. The result is a stunning home that fits perfectly into its surroundings. I’d gladly work with them again on any future Waiheke projects.

Testimonials
We live in Canada and visit Canada for 3-4 months each year and we had in our minds to renovate a 65 year old Farmhouse near Ohakune at the tail end of Covid
It was proving to be difficult to find and Architect who would do work in this area Jeremy of Studio Brick Architects was recommended to us by Jasper Osbourne of Fused Electrical,a family friend. We contacted Jeremy and found him very easy to talk to right off the bat and decided to go ahead with the project. The project involved stripping the old house right down to the framing, adding an ensuite,demolishing the garage and then completely rebuilding it all.
Once we got started the drawing process we quickly came to realize how competent and easy to work with Jeremy was . He was patient with us, excellent with details,paperwork,scheduling,
dealing with council and cost conscious. Completing the drawings which we thought could be nightmare became an almost pleasant task and was completed quickly using zoom meetings and emails.
Jeremy took the project right through the consent process so that we had completed approved drawings that we could present to a Builder to construct. Having the drawings done made getting a Builder much easier. We reconnected with a local Builder Kobus of JFS Construction with the completed drawings to see if he was now interested in doing the project and he was.
With the completed drawings and a good builder the project progressed quickly. Decisions were able to be made quickly with all parties having input. There were always going to be issues with remodelling an old building. Nothing seemed to faze Jeremy and with the help of a practical and skilled builder we were always moving forward. The project was completed quickly and we are extremely pleased with the result
We were lucky to find Jeremy and without him the project would have been much, much harder. We would have no hesitation in using Jeremy to do another project and would happily provide any references anybody might need if they are considering using him

Jeremy helped us through a major kitchen/laundry renovation - through concept, design, development, consent, and project management. He's a pleasure to work with. Friendly, professional and diligent - with great communication throughout. The final space was amazing, filled with natural light and intuitive to use. It feels very personal to us, easy to live in day to day - yet timeless to everyone who walks into the room. We've continued to use his services since then, through small consenting works - to just chatting about bigger dreams. Highly recommend.
