The design of your new home or home addition can be quite a daunting task for most people. Hiring the services of professionally accredited and certified* building designer and architectural drafter Sharon Ponsford of Studio West Design is a wise choice when you consider the many benefits and peace of mind it will bring. Every project is as unique as the individual. Sharon includes solar passive design principles where possible as standard in all her designs and works with you to develop your own ideas to create a design you will be proud of.
A long-time resident of the foothills of Perth, Western Australia Sharon has a wealth of experience working in many areas of Western Australia both metro and country including (but not limited to) Chidlow, Gidgegannup, Wooroloo, Toodyay, Darlington, Mundaring, Sawyers Valley, Northam, Bullsbrook, Gingin, Brigadoon, York, Midland, Beechboro, Swan View, Middle Swan, Guildford, Melville, Herne Hill, Swan Valley, Bridgetown, Margaret River and many more.
Sharon works with a variety of traditional and alternative building materials including double brick, timber framed, steel framed, brick veneer, stone, reverse brick veneer and of course the beautiful rammed earth, stone and straw bale. Sharon may also be able to refer you to a respected local builder so please don't hesitate to ask.
Unlike working with an architect, with a custom solar passive design by professionally certified and accredited* building designer Sharon Ponsford you are free to take your plans to any builder for quotes or even owner-build without fear of copyright infringement. Sharon will give you copyright to use the design as you wish, with any builder or even to owner-build, for the life of your building project. Read more ...
