I've worked with Maxine for nearly 20 years. The fact I keep coming back says it all. She has great ideas, a keen eye for detail and is efficient in how she goes about her business. Her easy going manner makes her a pleasure to work with.”

Grant Benson | Client


Maxine worked on our house for almost 2 years in 2016 and 2017. Her changes to our existing plans made a dramatic difference to both the aesthetics and the liveability of the house and are testament to her absolute attention to the minutest details and her creative vision. Maxine hadn't worked with the selected builder previously but they quickly built up a close and mutually respectful relationship which made the process very smooth and "relatively" stress free for us. I would be happy to talk to any prospective clients further.

Maxine’s strength is her design focus creating beautiful spaces that are wonderful to live in . 

This starts with her ability to work carefully through the initial conceptual problem solving phase of design which is fundamental to the whole process. She translates this into very detailed design, which we found to be extremely well thought through, and she is very present and involved in the construction process . 

Her combination of creativity and nuts and bolts attention to detail and process is what makes Maxine an absolute pleasure to have on board as an architect.

Learning Vault is a growing Ed-Tech startup and has recently undergone a new office refurbishment in Sydney. I found working with Maxine of Scalabrino Architecture a pleasure and made our decision making process quite easy with her thoughtful, elegant and professional design suggestions. She clearly understood the scope of design provided and was able to interpret this and ultimately deliver an interior design plan that fit both the space and our business. We look forward to continuing to grow in our energetic, bright and functional workspace!
