Andrew Ferguson Architect - Coffs Harbour

About

Registered Architect (NSW reg. no. 9530) Coffs Harbour

My aim with every new project is to produce beautiful bespoke designs that respond appropriately to the client's brief and budget. I believe that establishing a strong brief with the client is essential, and that respecting this brief throughout the design process leads to highly personalised designs that become expressions of the individuals who have commissioned them. I work closely with my clients to design buildings that sit comfortably within their environmental, urban, social and historical contexts. My designs always have a strong focus on passive solar design and sustainability, with optimal energy and water efficiency being integrated into every project.
