Testimonials

From the moment we started our journey with Barnes & Matina we knew we were in good hands. Their team didn’t just listen to our ideas; they brought them to life with a level of creativity and precision we never imagined possible. Every step of the way, they were supportive, transparent, and incredibly skilled. Our new project is more than just a house; it’s a reflection of us, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thank you, Barnes & Matina, for making our vision a reality.

Mark & Cheryl, Toorak, VIC

We approached Barnes Matina for a renovation project to add more space to our existing home. The team’s approach was fantastic – they understood our needs and transformed our ideas into an amazing reality. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every corner of our expanded home. The renovation has not just added space; it has enhanced our entire living experience. A big thank you to the entire Barnes & Matina team for their exceptional work.

Our decision to go for a knock down rebuild with Barnes Matina was one of the best we’ve made. Their team guided us through every stage with professionalism and empathy. They respected our vision while providing invaluable insights and expertise.  The result is a light filled home that projects warmth and reflects our wish for modern design elements inside, whilst fitting in with the heritage character of the area externally.
