Don’t Get Stuck With A “Hero” Architect Who Doesn’t Care About Your Needs or Budget

Too many architects present a brand or style they want you to have, rather than listen to your needs or concerns. Instead of designing the house you want, they’ll design something they think will look good in their portfolio or win them an award – and leave you stuck holding the overblown bill.

My houses have won awards in the past – but I’ve done it by listening to my clients and creating cost-effective designs which actually meet their requirements. My team and I take a collaborative approach and include you at every stage. You’ll get a stunning, architecturally-designed home that meets your every need.

Get Your Forever Home Designed By A Thought Leader In Architecture And Design

I’m proud of my extensive Architectural experience, having designed and managed a wide range of projects in both the private and public sectors. I’ve also been a lecturer at RMIT and The University Of Melbourne, had a role on several Victorian AIA committees currently mentor young women.

In 2009, after 20 years as the Principal Architect and Director of Walker & Yerondais Architectural Partnership, I established BY Projects Architecture. My mission is to create beautiful homes inspired by both the local environment and the needs of my clients.

Barbara and her team of architects were recommended to us by a friend and from the moment we met, we could tell that they were a "think outside the box" group. Their interior design ideas for our kitchen and small extension were nothing at all like we had considered but met all our needs, bringing extra light and space to our home. They were prompt in answering all our questions and efficient in dealing with our builder and surveyor. In a nutshell, we couldn't be happier.

These Clients Built Their Dream Homes On Budget…

Barbara and her team completed a detailed investigative study for the Lakeside Owners Corporation (at 27 Queens Road, Melbourne) examining a number of complex building maintenance issues. They provided a service-level well above our expectations. BY Architecture proposed an innovative option for funding the works recommended which was beyond the original contract. At all stages, we were fully briefed on progress.

GLENN, MELBOURNE

Barbara and her team of architects were recommended to us by a friend and from the moment we met, we could tell that they were a “think outside the box” group. Their interior design ideas for our kitchen and small extension were nothing at all like we had considered but met all our needs, bringing extra light and space to our home. They were prompt in answering all our questions and efficient in dealing with our builder and surveyor. In a nutshell, we couldn’t be happier.

PETER AND DEBBIE, BENTLEIGH EAST

Barbara was easy to talk to, had really great ideas and listened to what I wanted … best of all it was a stress-free process. She took care of all the details. I wanted to live in a warehouse style home, but I didn’t want to move, so I had renovations done to create an open space home. I called the Architecture Centre and they recommended I contact Barbara Yerondais, from BY Projects Architecture. I would highly recommend Barbara because she is professional, easy to work with and delivered the renovation ahead of time.

SHAYNE, IVANHOE

Barbara Yerondais designed and supervised our renovation last year. She was wonderful at every stage. Initially, she provided us with alternative suggestions and discussed them with us. We wanted to open up our kitchen/laundry area and redo the kitchen and family room. She produced a wonderfully workable plan and suggested all kinds of workable installations like a drying cupboard that I would never have thought of. She and Nurul were practical as well as artistic in their vision, always consultative and approachable. They brought us samples and made fabulous suggestions about furnishings, paint work, floors, windows etc. The building process was greatly helped by Barbara and Nurul’s weekly inspections and meetings. The final result is stunning. The area is bright and open as well as amazingly functional. Everyone who comes into the house raves about how much bigger it looks than it did before and how light the whole area is. We recommend Barbara as a sensational architect and a marvellous woman to work with.

MARGOT, CAMBERWELL

We like the area we live in but we needed more space. So we decided to renovate an 18m long garage into a liveable area with 2 bedrooms, rumpus room, bathroom, and deck. We found Barbara after we searched on Hi-pages. We called three Architects and decided to work with Barbara because she held herself well, sounded very professional and has many years of experience. Barbara listened to what we wanted and really delivered on that. Although Barbara has decades of experience, she’s not stuck in the past. Her ideas are modern and she has an excellent knowledge of materials and products. The best thing for us is we were able to stick to our budget and ended up with a design we love, without major comprises. We’d highly recommend Barbara. In fact, we already have to our friends, because she has decades of experience, is forward thinking and always has our best interests at heart.

LUCIE AND BRADEN, PARKDALE

We are entering the retirement phase of our lives and we wanted a home that works for us later in life. However we love the area we live in, our garden and our home, so instead of moving out of our two-storey home we decided to renovate. Luckily we found Barbara Yerondais, from BY Projects Architecture, through the Australian Institute of Architects, because she absolutely understood what we wanted. Barbara was easy to talk to, she listened to us, made excellent suggestions and, most importantly, let me decide what I wanted. Now our home is very modern, stylish and practical. We moved our main bedroom downstairs, and now have a new bathroom, new kitchen, new external area, and balcony. And best of all, the whole project was pain-free and is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Barbara because she is efficient, she over saw the whole project and she even stuck up for us with the builder. We are thrilled with the result and wouldn’t change a thing!

DI, PARKDALE

I wanted to have an approved design for a unit development on my property. I didn’t want to develop it myself, but wanted to pass on the designs and permit to the buyer. I found several architect company websites that could do the work. However, when I found Barbara Yerondais, from BY Projects Architecture, I instantly felt confident with her, because of her previous government projects. Barbara was professional, easy to talk to and she had all the solutions. The whole experience was positive. Council originally recommended 5 units could fit on my property. However Barbara delivered an excellent approved design for 8 units and the result was that my property doubled in profit. I had no hesitation working with Barbara and would highly recommend her because she is professional, easy to work with and delivers results.I am so happy that the 8 unit development permit doubled the value of my property. Thank you Barbara

NUNZIO, EUMEMMERRING

BY Projects worked on the renovation of our townhouse, and did a fantastic job. The architects made the whole process feel like an exciting collaboration, listening to what we wanted while bringing their professional expertise to the project, and ideas for the renovation that we would never have thought of ourselves . Our 1970’s home has been respectfully transformed with new views, light, and beautiful and effective spaces, all within the original footprint. It is just so nice living here now, and we are happy to recommend BY Projects for their professionalism, creativity, and supportive approach.
