Draw on John’s 30 years of experience in Architecture:
New Designs, Renovations, and New Home Building Success.
“From the initial design concept and early planning, through to delivering cost-effective solutions, I meticulously plan and oversee every aspect of the project. As your independent adviser, I liaise with builders, consultants, and suppliers, ensuring that every detail aligns with the project’s spirit and intent, all within your timeframe and budget constraints.”
—John Scandurra
Delighted to have you here, I’m John.
As a master architect, I can advise people from all walks of life.
Maybe you’re an individual aiming to build a grand, multi-level residence, a retiree looking to downsize to a more energy-efficient home, or a family seeking a modern lifestyle that integrates seamlessly with the natural landscape.
Whatever stage you’re at – whether you have a well-defined vision or just the beginnings of an idea for your home – I am confident I can help.
Bring all your ideas to me.
It might be a few pencil sketches, a scrapbook full of design inspirations from magazines or online references, or perhaps you’ve got a detailed floor plan of your dream home mapped down to the last kitchen tile.
The first step, for me, is simply to listen closely to you.
What does your dream home look like?
Together, we’ll explore that question.
Drawing on my 30 years of experience in architecture, both new designs and renovations, I will clarify the path forward – outlining potential designs and innovative solutions that are aligned with your ultimate home vision and matched to your budget. I can often show my clients how to make significant savings.
There’s no obligation to commit to anything during this discussion.
Should you choose to proceed, I can manage every detail of your project, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable process from concept to completion.
I’m with you every step.
Designing or renovating your home is a major life undertaking, which means you should have total confidence in your architect. What sets me apart is not just my deep industry knowledge – it’s also the human element.
Great communication is highly underrated.
I often build life-long friendships with my clients and continue to check in years after a project’s completion to have coffee, catch up, and personally see to it that everything is functioning exactly as expected.
Not every architect is that dedicated.
It’s a source of immense professional satisfaction for me knowing that I have the happiest clients in the world!
So, if you’re on the lookout for a highly experienced architect with whom you can connect and trust to transform your dreams into reality, then we should have a chat.
Total cost management and coordination of your building project for peace of mind
From the initial sketch to the final touches of your dream home, we manage every detail. Our full-service approach ensures a seamless process, from concept to completion.
The design process is filled with many exciting possibilities that you may wish to explore, such as exploiting the prevailing site conditions to maximise natural light and prevailing breezes, designing open spaces, blending with the natural landscape, adapting to topography, and incorporating sustainable materials and technologies.
We can advise on all facets of the design and building process, including:
- Idea Development
- Conceptual Sketch Design
- 3D Modelling and Rendering
- Planning & Contract Documentation
- Tendering and Contract Administration
- Building Contractor Selection
- Managing the Building Budget

“We first met John Scandurra when we requested a meeting to explore our plans for renovations to our pre-war house at Hawthorne. We were pleasantly surprised at how open John was to listening to our ideas and turning them into achievable plans. We found John easy to deal with and full of interesting ideas.
The melding process of our ideas with his was an exciting journey and at no time did we find John forcing concepts on us. In the event that we did another renovation, we would have no hesitation in contracting John to be the architect. We have found him to be a warm and friendly person who was always available to discuss concepts and meet when necessary. Nothing was too much of a problem for him and he always approached matters in a calm and helpful way. Our greatest accolade for John is that he is always suggesting new ideas and innovative ways to tackle a problem.”

“We employed John Scandurra to design the renovations to our family home situated in Deagon, QLD. He listened to our ideas so very carefully and then interpreted them in ways that made them so much better. Throughout our renovations, many things impressed us about John Scandurra.
However, his calm demeanour and ability to never present a problem without a choice of solutions, his excellent project and time management skills as well as his ability to interpret and listen to our needs as clients are amongst his greatest assets. John has been an incredible find.
I would recommend him to anyone and everyone”
