“David has expertly guided us through the renovation of our country villa. He has interpreted how we live and successfully designed a light, warm and beautifully functional house.  David also has an ability to suggest innovative and imaginative interior design ideas. He is always professional, efficient and is a great communicator.”

“We've worked with David Frost three times. He has designed and project managed internal alterations to our 1908 Wellington villa, designed a stunning Great Barrier Island getaway, and designed an inspired renovation of our 1924 Spanish Mission-style city apartment. David is creative, the consummate professional, full of ideas, and client-centered. He works well with tradespeople, and we've been delighted with the results every time. “

“David came highly recommended to us from good friends whose home he had designed. We had purchased a section that came with a house design and consented plans.  The layout didn’t suit our needs, hence our call to David.

Working with David was a dream.  He listened to what we wanted and produced a design that fulfilled our needs and wishes as opposed to designing what he wanted, or thought was best.  If our requests were off track or going to be a mistake, he would tell us and explain the reasons why.

He was excellent at integrating the total package so that the indoor and outdoor spaces flowed seamlessly.  In the design phase a great deal of thought was given to the placing of furniture so that the end result is a cohesive flow between spaces in our “open plan” house.

We would certainly use David again and have already recommended him to friends who have had the same experience. He comes highly recommended by us.”

“We've had the pleasure of working with David Frost from Architecture & Design on several projects now, and he's become a valued part of our wider team. David brings a rare balance of creativity and practicality to the table. His designs are thoughtful and inspired, yet always grounded in what will work best for the client.

What we appreciate most is David’s client-first approach—he listens carefully, works within constraints, and consistently delivers outcomes that are both functional and beautifully considered. We know we can trust him to guide our clients with care, clarity, and a focus on real-world results.

We highly recommend David to anyone looking for an architectural designer who’s not only talented but also collaborative, reliable, and a genuine pleasure to work with.”

“We wholeheartedly recommend David Frost, the architect and interior designer who worked on our home. He not only designed a space we absolutely love, but also made the entire process incredibly smooth and enjoyable.

David is intuitive, pragmatic, and truly collaborative. He listens carefully, works flexibly, and is always open to new ideas. What really stood out to us was his complete lack of ego – he was focused on bringing our vision to life, not pushing his own agenda.He’s also just a great person to work with – trustworthy, easygoing, and genuinely likeable.

We always felt in safe hands with him, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result.”
