WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
LEIGH AND SUZY - THE THIRD →
“We approached Janik to design an extension to our 3x1 federation home. From the first interaction we felt sure that he was the right building designer for our project. He was personable, professional and very easy to communicate with, and understood the goals we had for our renovation. We were after a modern extension that honoured the heritage of our home and was not “cookie cutter”.
The resulting design exceeded all our expectations, and Janik had such a clear vision of how everything fit together, with a considered reason for everything about the design. Throughout the process, from concept design to final design, council approval and the design documentation for tender and building permit, Janik was great to work with, getting back to us about things in the time-frame he said he would, answering all our questions, and patiently dealing with my indecision and need to understand everything.
We were so pleased with his services, we have now engaged with Dalecki Design for a second project.”
KARA - THE BROMLEY
“The team at Dalecki Design have been so wonderful throughout the whole design and build process. The design that was produced for us was so thoughtful + suited our home/working lives perfectly. Janik is a creative GENIUS and I could not recommend him and his team enough!”
CHRIS AND GINNY - THE ANZAC →
“Janik designed and managed for us the build on our Californian Bungalow extension. It was a more than doubling of the space and needed a unique approach to the orientation of the extension, the re-arrangement of the internal spaces and consistency of style.
He did an extraordinary job in creating a home that was both beautiful and comfortable to live in. We collect all the natural light, the spaces flow into each other and we're constantly finding angles and places to admire and enjoy.
The process of design and build was always thoughtful and considerate and he was engaged with the builder and other parties to sort and smooth any issues.”
LACHLAN AND KATIE - THE CORRY →
“Dalecki Design were incredibly professional, friendly and engaging to work with, creating a phenomenally creative, usable and environmentally aware space that makes us feel like we're holidaying at home. As a builder myself, the plans created by Dalecki Design were more comprehensively detailed than any I'd worked with, allowing me to save costs, increase accuracy and reduce waste.
We have already recommended Dalecki Design to our family and friends and wouldn't even think twice about who we'd use to design our future homes.”
ANDREW AND ELISE - THE SOLOMON →
“What a pleasure Janik was to deal with. Being an interstate client, communication, speed and quality of work was exceptional. He has designed a house that exceeded my family’s wildest dreams.”
SEAN AND MEGAN - THE ELIZABETH→
"We followed Dalecki Design before making contact and we were impressed with the projects they were involved with. We added to a 1930s bungalow and could not be happier with the process. Janik is the consummate professional, who inspired us with his design. He takes the time to know his clients and has their best interests at heart. We are thrilled with how it all came together.”
GLENN AND WENDY - THE BALMORAL→
“We approached Janik after seeing ‘The Stuart’, we were impressed with how Janik had turned an old fibro into a fresh, modern and stylish home. This transformation inspired us to imagine possibilities with our own tired old weatherboard, where we have lived and raised our family in for the past thirty years. It was time for a makeover and we were short of ideas, and The Stuart galvanised us into action.
We felt immediately comfortable with Janik from the first meeting. Janik is a skilled, highly talented and knowledgeable building designer; he is an excellent communicator who is personable, professional and extremely likeable. Janik worked flexibly and collaboratively with us on the design; he listened to and worked with our ideas, elevating them from ordinary to wow. Janik guided us through the renovation journey from design to build; facilitating the various council approvals and permits required, problem-solving any issues, always available to answer our questions; making the whole process stress free, smooth and easy for us. We could not have achieved this without Janik.”
DEREK AND JESSICA - THE EMPIRE→
"Amazing!! We engaged Janik for a renovation we wanted to complete. He designed the alteration and addition, ran the council and approvals process and also tendered out the design to several builders. From the very first contact Janik was amazing. He was personable, genuine and an absolute professional. Janik spent the time to truly understand ours needs and brief. He fulfilled the brief and exceeded our expectations presenting solutions we couldn’t have thought of ourselves.
He set timeframes and always met or exceeded these and if something didn’t quite go to plan, he kept us informed every step of the way. He was flexible and quick to assist or make any changes we had, he was always available to help and provide his opinion even after he had completed the tender process and scope of work. Janik is a truly talented designer and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He now feels like part of the family and would be our first point of call if we have another project in the future.
RONNIE AND GEORGIA - THE WASLEY→
"We found Janik from Dalecki Design very positive from our projects outset, even when the building phase posed challenges for the team. The simplest of briefs was given to him – "Our home must say WOW!!!". Janik's excellent skill set and sense of design meant our project incorporated the latest technologies along with first class materials and finishes without compromising the budget. Very few builders variations arose during construction with all documentation accurate and well thought out. The whole team at Dalecki Design were very helpful at all times and we have no reservations recommending their services."
RYAN - THE DUKE→
"Janik took our brief and ideas and transformed them into a unique, inspiring design that met our needs and our budget. He worked hard to gain approvals, produced excellent documentation and has a good network of builders. We have always found Janik quick to respond to queries and easy to work with."
SAM AND SARAH - THE ASH→
"I wanted to work alongside a talented and creative custom home designer, I came across Dalecki Design and had our first meeting with Janik. From that meeting I instantly clicked with Janik. He had strong construction knowledge and also a true passion for building & design. He showed me some previous designs from other projects and I was instantly impressed. The attention to detail was unlike any I had seen before and the designs were fascinatingly different. Janik then spent the next few months working on a home design for myself after taking my initial brief. When he presented the initial sketch design I was thrilled with what he had created. I made very few changes and insisted that he push through for a council approval quickly as possible. Janik’s help and advice stretched through into construction and he was never to busy to help clarify any queries. I found the plans clear, comprehensible and very detailed. Now living in the home and I can honestly say that engaging Dalecki Design was the best decision that led to an uncomplicated build and an amazing home to live in."
JEFF AND JENNY - THE BARTLETT JNR.→
"Janik designed a new 3x2 house for us in Karrinyup. We received so many compliments from the builder and trades people working on the home with regard to the layout of the home and attention to detail. Janik is such a personable young man and very professional in his approach to a project. The plans were completed quickly and we were so impressed with the result. We would definitely recommend him personally and his company, without hesitation.”
MATT AND CORA - THE BARTLETT SNR.→
"We could not be happier with the services provided by Dalecki Design. Janik took the time to listen to what we were hoping to achieve and this was evident in the design he came up with. Janik used initiative and his experience to create a design which was far beyond our imagination, it was clever, thoughtful and made use of every inch of space. Now the renovation is completed and we are living in the property, the design has proven to be a complete winner, everything just works. If you have a project in mind, a small site or just need someone who will take the time to listen and deliver what you want, Janik is a must call."
AIDAN AND LAUREN - THE SAMSON
We engaged with Dalecki Design very early in our journey to design and build our forever home. Having recently moved into the completed product we couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out – and we definitely plan to stay here forever! We had never designed or built a home before, but Janik patiently guided us through the process and provided all the support we needed to navigate each step (and some extra hurdles too!). From the council approvals to tendering and final fit-out selection the input from Janik and his team was invaluable. But for me the most important thing Janik and the team at Dalecki Design were able to do was to help us understand what kind of house we actually wanted to build. Discovering how we wanted our home to look, feel and function was such an exciting and enjoyable experience, and we ending up making creative decisions we otherwise wouldn’t have considered if it hadn’t been for Janik. We can’t thank the team at Dalecki design enough for helping to create our beautiful family home, and highly recommend them for anyone looking to engage with a professional, creative and engaging design team!

MATTHEW - THE JANET
We were very happy with the process and the outcome we achieved from engaging Dalecki Design for a renovation and extension of our 1920s workers cottage. Our new home transitions from old to new seamlessly, and now has all the modern luxuries which have been impeccably designed. Our house is in a heritage area, and the thoughtful design has maintained the character of the federation bungalow while maximising the benefits of the north facing rear to create a home that meets all our current and future needs. We are very happy customers.

PELLE AND SANDEE - THE PEARSALL
It was literally a dream come true to work with Dalecki Design, and they did not disappoint! From our very first conversation, we found Janik, Scott, Curtis and co to be respectful, considered and creative. They challenged our thinking and shared their rationale while designing a beautiful home that met our brief (and more). Changes in market and personal circumstances meant we did not progress beyond the design phase, but again Janik and team were understanding and respectful. We look forward to a time when we can engage Dalecki Design on another project, and would highly recommend them to others wanting something sustainable, personal and above the ordinary.

SIMON AND JODIE - THE MCKENZIE
We had the amazing opportunity to enlist Dalecki to design our home and we couldn't be more thankful to Janik and the team. We now have the prettiest house on the block. Thanks for being so accommodating throughout the design process team. We did it!
- Simon
Janik designed our friend’s house (The Ash) which we fell in love with. When we had the opportunity to build our own dream home we were so very excited to have the opportunity to have him design our family home. We felt immediately comfortable with Janik from the first meeting and I would highly recommend him for his knowledge in stylish custom design and his prompt assistance throughout the whole development. He guided us through the process from design to build, facilitating the various council approvals and permits required. Janik provided clever solutions when needed and was always available to answer all of our questions. Janik took our brief and ideas and transformed them into a functional, unique, inspiring design that ticked all the boxes from our brief, meeting our needs and our budget whilst working with a difficult block. We told Janik we wanted to feel like we were on holiday once we walked through our front door, leaving the stresses of the day behind. Now that we are living in our home I can honestly say that engaging Dalecki Design was the best decision we made as that is how we feel every day when we enter our home.

TANYA AND TJORN - THE LAMOND
“When my husband and I decided to demolish our old house to make way for our new family home we looked at a few options. And then my brother suggested I take a look at Dalecki Design and when I did, I knew we couldn’t go anywhere else. The team at Dalecki were great to work with and took care of all the details. Janik was great at asking us all the right questions to design a home that is not just beautiful but will function perfectly for our family. Janik’s attention to detail, skill, customer service and artistry combined gave us complete confidence throughout the process. He also introduced us to our wonderful builder and we love seeing our home take shape. We can’t wait to see the final product.”
“I highly recommend Dalecki Design. Janik was very considered in designing our new home and has a personalised approach. He met the brief of what we wanted and listened to our preferences for certain materials, functionality and low maintenance, while making it look pretty smart all within the constraints of the block size and council requirements. He provided advice along the way and took care of all the details. All this made the whole experience stress free. We’re looking forward to seeing the construction of our home completed soon.”
RENAE - THE DANCE
“Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God!!! I cannot thank Janik enough for the amazing design he created…. From our first Design conversation to the building stage was effortless and everything was well organised and smooth...You Rock Janik!!”
STEPHEN AND BETH - THE ERIC
“Janik took our brief and produced a final design that far exceeded our expectations of what was possible within the limited space available. The design and approval process was well explained from the start and engineering, energy assessment, council approvals and builder quotes were all sorted quickly and easily.”
SEP AND LYN - THE SEPPELT
"After consulting Janik on our ideas for additions and renovations to our home, we were extremely pleased with the ideas and designs he produced. Janik was very professional and readily available when we required discussions throughout the process. Janik always listened to our requests and came up with ideas we hadn’t even thought of. I would highly recommend Janik for his knowledge in design solutions and his prompt assistance throughout the whole development."
NADIA AND BARNIE - THE NOBLE
"I engaged with Dalecki Designs to design my first house for my block of land. I had Janik work through my very muddled ideas and provided multiple design concepts to peruse before I finally settled on a design that fitted my requirements and style. Janik was very understanding and continually made changes without hesitation until I was 100% satisfied. He had many tools to demonstrate ideas as well as a wide of selection of materials that helped me visualise the end product. He made a number of recommendations to make my house more sustainable, economical and better for resale."
IVOR - BEACONSFIELD
"Janik Dalecki designed my solar passive, contemporary beach house which was recently completed and featured as part of Sustainable House Day 2016. The home is a fantastic design and was produced with a lot of thought, attention to detail and innovation that was embedded in the design. I found Janik to be a very attentive, professional and progressive person to work with and the whole process was very streamlined, transparent and interactive. He listened to my ideas, provided excellent communication and was able to meet the brief diligently. I have no hesitation in recommending Janik to anyone looking for a designer, particularly one who has a sound understanding of solar passive and adaptable, innovative design. I look forward to working with Janik again in the future!"
SARAH AND LUKE - THE BONDI
“We enlisted Janik to help us renovate a very tired, but potential 1930s home in Mount Hawthorn. Having viewed and admired Janik’s work for many years, I knew it was him who we wanted to help us build our family home. Janik and his team are both professional and personable in their doings and we felt very comfortable with them right from the start. We decided to put our full trust in Janik to design us a home and what he designed from the very first meeting exceeded our expectations. He takes into account every aspect of your lifestyle, flair, and budget to create a truly wonderful and conscious design. Janik was also attentive to our requests, and no matter how small (or big) the question was he responded in a timely matter that we were really impressed with, as we never felt ignored or unheard. I cannot recommend Janik highly enough and am so thankful we chose Dalecki Designs to create our home. We are still in the building process however I have every faith that upon seeing what Janik has created for us, we will be some very happy campers!”
PIA - THE EDINBOROUGH
“Award-winning, incredibly talented, personable and customer focused - Janik delivers architecturally-inspired designs with the flexibility of competitively priced packages. We loved working with Janik and would 100% recommend him to anyone wanting a stylish custom design that really gets to the core of how your family lives. It's difficult to put into words the enormous impact that Janik has had on the renovation and extension to our 1930s Federation-style home. We are so happy we chose our designer first as it allowed us the time and the expertise to really get the design right to suit our family. We approached Janik after speaking with a few project home builders and not feeling confident that any of the builders really understood our brief. We were worried we would get too far down the process of being committed to one particular builder and not get the design of the house right - only to not be happy with the result or have regrets. After all - it's a lot of time and money we were investing! So we changed our approach after seeing Janik's work featured in The West Australian and loving his style. Janik really worked to understand our lifestyle as a family and to give us advice on how he had seen needs evolve as his clients' had met the challenges of different life stages. Janik was very open to our request to design our home for two different life stages. Our children are small and - for now - want to be close to Mum and Dad . But they won't stay little for long and we wanted to truly have a "Forever Home" rather than a "For Now Home". Janik designed a home that works for us now and one that gives up options in the future to provide privacy to both us and our teenagers/young adults. Janik gets back to you very quickly with good humoured and very clear, detailed emails that explain his recommendations in a way that we - as complete amateurs - could understand. He helped us navigate selection decisions and tendering process with builders. We honestly would not have been able to achieve all this without him and his support through every step of the process.”
ARYLENE AND BRENDAN
“Janik is a superstar in our books. He was the perfect fit for us because when it came to designing a new extension for our 1970s home, it was really important to us to incorporate passive-solar principles. Janik is not only very focused and experienced with that, but he is beautifully creative in the way that he executes the home's design. He worked with an extensive brief for our home and he managed to give us everything we asked for. No change or idea was too difficult for him to deal with and they were all done quickly and extremely efficiently. When our budget had to be tightened halfway through the design process, Janik took it all in his stride and delivered an alternative that is as good as the original, and all in record time. Meeting deadlines and budgets is clearly important to him. Janik is also very fun to work with and we easily regard him as a friend. His multi-award winning designs are a testament to the quality of his work and we hope to add to his list of accolades when our project is complete.”
LIMITLESS BUILDING
“We started working with Janik late 2016. He has been reliable, professional, and above all is very talented. He also has extensive knowledge from a construction point of view which a lot of designers lack. His working drawings are very detailed and from a Builder's point of view makes the whole construction process so much easier. Janik also has extensive knowledge in solar passive design, which we are a firm believer in. His vision and execution is always flawless. When Janik presents you a plan, there is usually nothing to very little to change. From the first project presentation we knew we would develop a long lasting working relationship.”
