Hamptons Luxe Californian Bungalow - a major Renovation, Addition and Extension in Sydney’s Lane Cove North completely transforms a family home.

"The confidence and understanding MILEHAM bought to our project was exactly what we had been looking for. They listen to your ideas and thought processes. Their ideas are practical for your stage of life, but also for where your family life may be in five or more years. The fact that MILEHAM are also registered builders means you are not having to go between multiple contractors and suppliers - you deal with one PM throughout."

Brad, Willoughby, Lower North Shore

“We worked with MILEHAM to double the footprint of our heritage-listed cottage. From the get go James was visionary, collaborative and humble - a rare combination in an architect. His background as a builder meant his suggestions were always grounded in reality (and our budget) and yet the outcome was a stunning interpretation of our intent."

— Kate, Hunters Hill, North Shore
“I thought I knew exactly what I wanted until I spoke with James, whose suggestions opened my eyes to some design changes that turned out to be crucial in achieving overall living flow and aesthetic."
