“As a project manager the success of project outcomes are often a result of a well-executed design and collaborative approach amongst the project team. I have worked with Sandy and the team at Law Architects on several projects and firmly believe they are a leader in design execution.
They have proven to be an effective collaborator in achieving our client’s needs. Their skill and advice enabled successful navigation of the challenges in each project. Whether it be geographical challenges, authority overlays or budget constraints, the Client’s desired outcomes were always front and centre in achieving the best outcome for our Client.

I look forward to working with Law Architects in the near future. ”

“Ongoing work with Law Architects saw a completely new vision for the College…
From the time we first meet the team at Law, it was obvious that the firm worked as a united and highly collaborative group of professionals who were keen to know our story and not impose theirs. Law Architects are problem solvers. Whilst they bring their own ideas … they listen … to ensure that their creativity and our dreaming can coincide. A pertinent example of this was when the College experienced a significant funding dilemma due to [confidential]. I rang Sandy Law to let her know that there was a potential issue. An hour later, arriving at her offices, the team had already come up with solutions. There was no angst, no concern at a potential loss of the original design, just a very positive, solution focused approach.
Their passion for sustainability is evident in every conversation we have with them…
We consciously chose a smaller firm and we know that we work with the “A Team”… Law Architects are collaborative, creative, client-focused, fiscally sensible, have an exceptional work ethic, and a passion for sustainable design. They are available when we need them and, in spite of their many other clients, we have always been made to feel that we are their only client. We could not recommend them more highly.”

“It has been a great pleasure to work with Sandy Law and her firm of architects to create the beautiful new learning spaces at Woodleigh School which we refer to as our Homesteads.
Over three years now we have worked collaboratively with Sandy to design highly flexible, environmentally sustainable, comfortable learning spaces which integrate the aspects of traditional learning and social learning spaces together.
I have been very impressed with the way in which Sandy has been able to create a design which acknowledges the past and blend beautifully into the natural environment, whilst having a very modern and slick feel.
The design process was one which drew strongly on the expertise of the staff and students in the school, and the Learn Group at the University of Melbourne, to generate the design brief. Sandy, along with Jenni Webster and Damian Belle managed very efficiently the build cycle, working closely with the successful tenderer to achieve a wonderful outcome which was delivered on time and within budget.
I am completely satisfied with the outcome of these buildings and they have achieved the original brief very successfully, which was to create highly flexible and adaptive teaching and learning spaces which brought together social learning environments with the traditional, to create a Homestead for students, a home away from home where not only does learning take place but the facility also supports the establishment of strong relationships between students and staff.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Law Architects to you for any future projects you may wish to undertake. ”

“The Carlton Primary School redevelopment has created a new face for the school, an increased pride amongst the school community and in time will no doubt lead to increased enrollments. The work of Law Architects in collaboration with the school showcases the potential of innovative adaptive reuse and urban design to challenge and ultimately change community perceptions.”

“I have worked with Sandy Law on three major building projects, the development of a College Master Plan and some minor building refurbishments.
Working with Sandy has been a pleasure and I have appreciated her expertise and creativity. Sandy is an attentive listener and her passion for designing spaces for learning really complements the work she has
done with us. She engages with key stakeholders, asks lots of probing questions to ensure she understands the needs of the College and engages in deep dialogue about the future needs of an educational
environment.
Sandy presents innovative ideas that change and adapt to the needs of contemporary learning spaces and she willingly and openly shares her expertise in building design. She is passionate about the environment
and ensures the building projects meet enviromnental regulations and sustainable practices. ”

“The Law Architects team have at all times ‘understood’ what we were seeking from our architectural brief.
They stood alone in their ability to capture the essence of, and articulate clearly the vision and ethos that we sought in our building design.
They have always been open and welcoming of suggestions and have delved into the reasoning behind suggestions to identify workable solutions to the underlying problem. Over the past three years I have never found myself wanting of information, feedback or timely advice in response to queries/issues that I might have raised.”

“Innovative, creative and practical, Law Architects work closely with the key stakeholders of the project to design spaces that support the delivery of programs that require collaboration, inquiry, co-operative learning and opportunities for independent work...I have witnessed a deep understanding of educational philosophy within a contemporary learning framework through the design of new and renovated learning spaces... confident to challenge, learn and contribute to the educational dialogue in a transformative and optimistic way is the richness offered by Sandy Law and Associates.”

“We have found Law Architects design responses to be innovative and creative while still meeting the constraints imposed by both our operational requirements and regulatory requirements. Their
extensive experience in the educational sector means that there is great knowledge within the office, resulting in sophisticated design resolution of what are ultimately institutional buildings.
Law Architects staff are professional, responsive and timely. I have found their communication style to be open and honest, with the client’s interests always a priority...
...Over the last two years of working with Law Architects I have had nothing but positive experiences and I have no hesitation in recommending them to any prospective clients.”

“Law Architects were very much in synch with what we were trying to achieve and in fact assisted us with many ideas they had to enhance learning in a sustainable environment.
The design features of the buildings took this into account and the design of the outside areas were just as important. The school has won many awards in the 4 1/2 years since opening. The building design, the features within the buildings as well as the outside areas work extremely well for our community. Because of the environment created it is a very peaceful school with engaged students and staff.
There are many school groups and industry professionals who come to see what we have achieved.
This school is certainly a Lighthouse school in sustainability because of the commitment of the school community to this ideal, which was brought to life by Law Architects. We could not be more pleased with the end result.”

“You (Law Architects) came fresh to over twelve meetings involving more than twenty diverse groups to hear and take note of their hopes and considerations for the project. Your ability to facilitate open and effective communication among key personnel in the appropriate settings; as well as clearly summarising the findings of each Workshop; and then translating the emerging Vision into a Masterplan is a legacy that gives greatest strength to our process of implementation of the
Project.”
