Working with Brett meant that sustainability was an inherent part of the conversation and we didn't have to spend much time or energy explaining how and why we wanted to build in that way. It was a joy working with someone experienced in this area who was enthusiastic about our ideas and was able to bring so many of his own ideas and expertise to the table. We really appreciated his knowledge of how to get the best outcomes for our specific climate, our tight budget and our own goals. The home we now call ours feels very personal and perfectly suited to our needs. We loved that Brett is exploring innovative new sustainable building ideas in his business. Brett is down to earth, yet professional with very clear communication and we found him so easy to work with. He was always open to discussing new ideas and working through any design issues we had, and we never felt he was dismissive of things that were important to us. Brett was able to design us a house that is unique, on a tight budget and a small footprint, yet delivers so much within those limits. The house is light and airy and with generous room sizes and varying high ceilings, it feels so much more spacious than you would expect from it's floor area. It is smartly designed for the site and we are reaping the benefits in terms of it's thermal efficiency. We are so comfortably warm in winter and cool in summer. We are also loving the way the house sits on the block and the outlook to the garden and views beyond. We're thankful we invested in him as an architect. Even though our budget was tight, we were able to achieve a high quality climate responsive home, unique to our life and needs.

I have known of Brett Aylen Architecture for some years and worked with Brett on two projects over the last 18 months. Brett's communication is at all times clear, comprehensive and concise. As a sustainable design builder, I have benefited greatly from Brett's expertise in this area and regularly tap into his knowledge base. I would recommend Brett without hesitation.
I have worked with Brett for over 5 years now and have found him to be very professional. In fact he is one of the best architects I have ever worked with, any drawings we receive always have a very well presented window and door schedule which makes our job so much easier. I have also found him to be very honest, caring and super organised. An absolute please
My House was designed by Brett Aylen Architecture,I chose Brett because of his knowledge in creating homes to deal with the Australian climate. He was good to work with prior to and during the build and provided a lot of great ideas for the project. The house has a very relaxed feel about it and and the views from the living area to the garden are wonderful.The double glazed and well sealed windows and doors make this home extremely quiet inside regardless of the weather conditions outside. I'm glad I used Brett Aylen Architecture who specialises in climate responsive design to create a comfortable home for me to live in.
We have been in our house now for 11 months and we love it. Currently we have spent 110.00 on electricity but expect to be in credit with the arrival of our fInal bill for the year. The house requires very little heating and so far the air conditioning has only been used once on a 46’c day. Even then the air con was only put on at 8pm for a couple of hours. Today the outside temperature is 42’c and inside the house it is 25.5’c at 5pm without having used the air conditioner. The insulation is great as are the PVC double glazed windows. The design of the house is exactly what we wanted however the only negative is that it the actual build cost was about 15% higher than we were led to believe during the design process. Working with Brett was a good experience and he helped us to save money where possible during the build process and we still achieved the desired result with a well designed and functional house. As part of the design, we have incorporated a 4 car garage as well as outside areas allowing us to sit out on any side of the house depending on the weather. We have incorporated a landscaped garden with fruit trees, raised ‘Wicking beds’ for our vegetables and a herb garden and all of this on just 763 square meters of land.
I've worked with Brett for the last 5 years. One of the critical aspects of ensuring that home owners have an excellent building experience is communication between Builder and Architect. Most of the stories of bad building experiences stem from poor communication between architect and builder. Thanks to Brett's ability to communicate well with us as builders and his clients, we are all able to conduct a project in a manner that is pleasant for everyone. Brett's ability to identify and utilise the aspects of both Solar Passive Design and Passivhaus, combined with his communication are what puts him at the forefront of his field of expertise. No other architect could deliver you a stress free building project, and a design that matches the brief and budget you asked for.
Such a comprehensive service! Brett talked me through each step of his process and met everyone of my needs in doing so. Highly recommend Brett for his planning and architecture services.
Oneconstruct have worked closely with Brett Aylen on three housing projects. From concept, design and delivery Brett was engaged from the start to the finish. His insight into delivering a high class product was always evident and at no stage did he falter. His design criteria proved that modular build can excite, his vision in achieving a high quality, purpose built modular house was second to none. He proved to Oneconstruct that we can achieve our aim to be South Australia's premier modular builder. His understanding of modular design is first class, incorporated with a great knowledge of modern technologies now available in modular build, Brett will provide the best that is available in modular build. Would I recommend Brett Aylen Architect, Absolutely! Dino Gallina Director - Oneconstruct
