"Throughout the design process, Ricky was an empathetic listener and showed a great understanding of traditional architectural principles, but just as importantly, showed a real care for how my family would live and interact in our home.  We couldn’t be happier with the design and having lived in the home for 6 months now, we continue to discover wonderful elements of design and thought, that make coming home and waking up every day an incredible pleasure." Ben - 2019 - Melbourne, Australia "Compounding the potential difficulties of this interaction were that the house was being built on the Mornington Peninsula, the architect was based in Melbourne and we were living in the Middle East. At the end of the day the fact that we had a fantastic builder, a great architectural team and a great chemistry with Ricky meant that the house was built on time and on budget and to the highest standards imaginable." John & Julie - 2017 - Sorrento, Victoria "He has an enquiring mind which I believe is always the precursor to inventiveness and achievement. It is entirely appropriate for this talented young man (to pursue a course in architecture) who has already shown design development and commitment beyond his years will be well utilised as one of our future great Architects."Bill Skews, Director, Skews Architects, New Zealand - 2006 The judges found that the Eltham South, Blairgowire projects detailing showed maturity beyond the age of the designer. They were particularly impressed with the contrasting use of timber to express the change from project interior to exterior. They also noted the interesting light and shadows created by the screens used as walls and roof coverings. They found the bold use of rustic recycled timber wall innings and the timber detailing astonishing, showing the designers understanding of the materials at his disposal. Australian Timber Design Awards - Sydney - 2014 (Project lead whilst at Wolveridge Architects) "Ricky skillfully gave our ideas and practical requirements creative flare. He listened to our ongoing input with enthusiasm, was quick with feedback and adapted his design ideas accordingly." Sarah - 2018 - Mt Martha, Victoria Australia "The residential projects completed have been complex in nature. It has been great to be able to work collaboratively and proactively to overcome the various construction and design challenges that inherently come with such intricate designs."Peter Bartlett - Director Bartlett Architectural Construction - 2017 "Throughout the whole process Ricky was always fantastic to deal with, both friendly and professional.  The design was innovative but also practical, with great attention to detail. We absolutely love our new house and the fact it not only meets out needs now, but will in the future with a growing family."Simone & Luke - 2019 - Bendigo, Australia "Ricky delivered a design which exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail was fantastic as was his ability to work within our budget without compromising on the features of the renovation we felt were most important to us. Ricky came up with a creative and innovative design for our renovation which allowed us to retain the original features we loved while making room for the contemporary functionally we required." Katie & Stephen - 2018 - Melbourne, Australia "Been a pleasure working together on Promenade, you sure produced a beautiful building. If we expand across the ditch I will be sure to make contact." Tim - Lowe Group - Melbourne, 2018 "…and on the house, I can’t thank you enough. I know it’s largely your design, and it’s an incredible place now and we just love it. People are generally blown away by it, which is really cool as well. All the best in your new enterprise, and look forward to a Wanaka Lager by the lake at some stage in the future!"Cheers Rich - 2018 - Collingwood, Melbourne "As I have said in the past, it has been an absolute joy working with you guys (Ricky & Jerry), we love, love, love the finished product. Just can’t wait to get in with furnishings and art."Julie - 2017 - Sorrento, Victoria "There is a huge role in interpretation from the side of the architects I think and we felt (both) Jerry & Ricky excelled here. I think there are some core values that are needed - respect and trust for each party to play in their position, patience/tolerance, and keeping in mind the whole time why you're doing this and end goal." Tim & Suzie - 2016 - Flinders, Victoria "In his time here Ricky has emerged from being a proficient ArchiCAD operator to a seriously talanted and capable young Architect. In this period we always held regular design review meetings which I will always look back on as very productive and dynamic sessions. I have always found him to be a reliable, energetic and personable character. His enthusiasm towards his job, the workplace and his colleagues has always been refreshing." Jerry Wolveridge, Director, Wolveridge Architects, Melbourne - 2013 "He is creative and thoughtful in his design and in offering up new ideas, whilst keeping in mind the client brief. He communicated clearly and articulately and ensured we had all the relevant information in a timely manner."Phil & Virginia - 2013 - Blairgowrie, Victoria "Ricky has developed a true understanding and passion for architecture. He worked very independently on all projects, taking responsibility for all relevant stages from concept to final documentation offering innovative solutions with great attention to detail whist meeting deadlines. I would like to highlight Ricky's easy going personality and ability to work within a team environment."Nicole Lauenstein - Faculty Director Architecture Design & Arts College of New Zealand - 2005 Note: Some testimonials included have been provided for Ricky Booth (director) whilst fulfilling an Associate Architect role at Wolveridge Architects.
