“Jason and his team are an amazing. From a clients perspective they fully understood what we wanted to achieve and guided us on our journey and were always conscious of our budget. From a builders perspective his plans are detailed and easy to work off. I would recommend Mac Architecture to those who are looking for a custom design that has Passive House and High-Performance elements.”
