Building design

Our building design sweet spots

From our clients

Sembrano Design worked closely with us to bring our vision to life. Professional, thorough and detailed.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to see this dream house being built to life by Sembrano Design. The construction guidelines were prepared very well; our expectations were fully understood from day one.

Initiative, leadership and guidance during my change of use application, town planning and building design – making the process and transition smooth.

Thank you for your input, ideas and innovation towards making each project you are engaged in a success.

Paulo listened to our ideas then offered suggestions that have absolutely ‘made’ our small space. Highly recommended.
