The following article covers a little more about Martin’s home design principles and designs that personally inspire him.
Living in Sydney’s North Shore
Martin has lived and worked here for most of his life, so he knows the North Shore and what it embodies. The opportunities for family life, business and overall lifestyle mean that it is a desirable area to bring up a family.
The architecture of the North Shore is varied, and the homes have a special elegance, unique character and quality that makes them ideal for extending to meet the lifestyles of today.
His local design expertise naturally includes Heritage and Bushfire matters, as these are essential elements of living on Sydney’s North Shore.
And finally, a word from Martin Kolarik…
“Whether it is industrial design, creating sculptures, paintings or architecture, I believe the same theme applies:
‘Firstly, make it work – and then make it beautiful.'”
My life experience means that I know the opportunities and constraints that apply to us all – family, schooling, home, finances, etc. All of them need to be considered before making major life decisions.
A major focus for me is to develop strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect, by listening and truly understanding. Only then can I offer high-quality advice so you can make sound decisions with confidence.
