In our completed work, we’ve consistently delivered to our client’s architecture that has gone above and beyond their expectations.
Sydney is home to some of Australia’s most stunning architecture. In Australia’s oldest city, we aim to interpret and incorporate responses to Sydney’s unique climate and culture into our at-times restrained, at other times overt and sleek modern designs. It is always our aim to design the perfect home for our clients, one that sits comfortably within its immediate setting and surrounds.

We’re progressive, serious, and committed, and this makes our dedicated and experienced team at Peter Janks Architects the qualified firm we’re recognised to be.
Based in North Sydney, much of our work has been concentrated in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and Lower and Upper North Shore. We have also done work in N. NSW., up the coast in Killcare, in the Inner West, and as far South as Georges River. We’ve had successful dealings with Councils including Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick, Mosman, North Sydney, Ku-ring-gai, Inner West, Northern Beaches, and Lane Cove.

Said by anybody who visits and by passers by, 17 Gilchrist Place, Balmain East is very probably the nicest, most livable house on the Balmain peninsular and it is all thanks to the design and fastidious build supervision of Peter Janks.
I was tempted, once the design was complete and the builder contracted, to dismiss Peter and supervise the build myself. Fortunately I was talked out of this by my neighbor who had spent a lifetime in building design and construction. His comment was "Builders are very good at making things easier and cheaper for themselves, let your architect be the guy who deals with the builder." This was a very sound piece of advice.
Peter is firstly a gentleman, secondly a good listener and very importantly an absolute stickler for detail. At times even I was concerned about how much more time things were going to take to get them perfect but in the end every bespoke detail of this house is perfect.
The entire design and building experience was so enjoyable and if I ever get the chance, I'd do it again.

I had the real pleasure of working with Peter over a long time while designing and building a house at Killcare on the NSW Central Coast. Like most people embarking on a new construction, we wanted something "special". Peter had an uncanny ability to listen to my wacko ideas and my wife's far more mundane yet vital concerns and turn these (often conflicting) requirements into practical, buildable but inspired plans. He brought a wonderful vision to the whole scheme. But more than vision, Peter is painstakingly detailed in his thinking. No corner escaped his gimlet attention, no joint was simply a joint.
When construction time arrived, Peter's eye for detail came into its own. As the supervising architect, his site visits took hours. Not even the smallest detail escaped his scrutiny. I think the tradies on site used to roll their eyes when they saw his car draw up. The end result was a beautiful, wonderfully constructed home that is a delight to inhabit and a wow for all who visitor.
