Testimonials
Michael Baker from Zenibaker served as our architect, advisor, and building supervisor during the construction of the Dune House in St. Andrews Beach, Victoria. Michael was responsible for harnessing the unique possibilities offered by our sandy dune location, which boasts a stunning 270-degree panorama across the dunes and sea to the inland countryside. The site presented topographical complexities and a range of regulatory challenges due to its environmentally valuable native bushland setting and bushfire risk.
Our goal was not only to capitalise on the exceptional opportunities of the site, but also to build a comfortable, year-round home that could accommodate multiple families, including lively young children, during holiday periods, all within a budget. Michael delivered!
Throughout the design phase, Michael demonstrated remarkable flexibility, responsiveness, and creativity. He challenged us with innovative ideas that we might never have considered, but also listened to our preferences and took them into account. He calmly and patiently guided us through each stage of the design, permit, and construction processes, and seamlessly coordinated with the builder during construction.
Michael delivered a remarkably spacious, highly functional, thermally efficient, and aesthetically pleasing residence that captures breathtaking views of both the landscape and the sky, from sunrise to sunset.
Finally, we are delighted to report that the project was completed on schedule and within budget. Thank you, Michael, we were lucky to find you.
