“A close friend of ours suggested we speak to Andrew Hagemann to provide full design services for our new home. We were very pleased to meet Andrew and soon appreciated his creative ideas for planning our family home.

Andrew spent time appreciating our interest in 1960’s architecture, furniture & concrete blocks, and in particular the work of Perth Architect Iwan Iwanoff. This led to the creation of the eventual spaces where our brief, material palette and landscape design all sit comfortably together.

The experience of planning our family home, selecting builders, finishes and fittings was all enjoyable.

We are perfectly comfortable in our home, it is a very shareable space with friends & family, which we really enjoy.

Thanks Andrew .”
