I have been working with Nico and Ira for many years now. They are an absolute treat to work with! Knowledgeable, experienced and professional. They respect the client's vision and add value with their own ideas. They always meet their deadlines. They know what they're talking about. They are one of the best architects in the Canterbury area! Highly recommend Backcountry Studio! Reply: Thank you very much Parth, it's always great working with you :)

Nico was excellent to work with - he listened to what we wanted, provided quality suggestions and advice, and managed all Council inquiries as part of the consenting process. Highly recommend Nico and Backcountry Studio for any of your design/draughting works. Thanks Nico for all of your work, the workshop is now (finally) complete, and exactly how we envisaged! Reply: Thank you Charlotte, your review means a lot to us! It was a pleasure working with you :)

I was absolutely thrilled with the work provided by Nico and Ira at Backcountry Studio. While I felt confident in their experience, expertise and communication from the beginning, they executed the consent documentation for a recent project beyond my expectations. They produced a drawing set and specification which was comprehensive, well set out and the attention to detail was excellent. I look forward to collaborating again soon. Reply: Thank you Rochelle, always a pleasure to work with you.

Nico and Ira were wonderful to work with. They provided quality suggestions and advice to us about our build, and they also went above and beyond to manage a tricky consenting process. Information from them was always timely, clear and friendly, and we were made to feel important and valued throughout the process. We were very satisfied with their service and professionalism and we highly recommend Backcountry Studio! Reply: Thank you Jessica, looking forward to visit the finished project!
