“I had the honour of launching the wonderful greenhouse residence at Darla Place, Darla, Palmerston. I am generally cynical about house design in the Northern Territory, but here was a house where maximum attention had been paid to the necessary detail for effective indoor / outdoor tropical living. Wonderful overall, spacious, great use of air-flow and solar light. Daring colours, very thoughtful separation of functions. Congratulations to the originators, Bennett Design.”

“I am writing to acknowledge your company's success at the National Building Designers Awards held in April 2004. Sincerest congratulations are to be afforded to you and your team for awards in the categories of 'Public Buildings' and 'Environmental and Energy Efficient Buildings'', for the design of the $1.1m Kids Force Kindergarten and Preschool facility constructed at the RAAF Darwin Married Quarters Precinct. The dedication and commitment shown in your provision of consultancy services in the development of the design with such a diverse user group, is a testament to your professionalism and attention to detail. The project demanded a wide appreciation of engineering disciplines, statutory requirements and user specific issues that were successfully incorporated into the delivery of an excellent facility. Your efficient and innovative design will provide ongoing cost savings for Defence and a user-friendly facility for the children of our Defence Members. I would not hesitate to recommend Bennett Design Pty Ltd, to provide similar services for other clients, either in the public or private sector. On behalf of the Department of Defence, I congratulate you and your company for this outstanding achievement.”

“We engaged Bennett Architecture to assist in a greenfield development in Darwin and following the success of that project, using them again for Edinburgh, SA was an easy decision.  Bennett’s were involved in all aspects of the Edinburgh development – from early concept discussions right through to design changes during construction and the final fit out of the completed development.  We were handed over a development that was on time, on budget and 100% fit for purpose.  Haulmark has several large projects in development over coming years and Bennett’s will be used for each of these.”

The professionalism and commitment shown by Bennett Architecture assisted Power and Water in being able to achieve a high quality outcome on what was a difficult and complex project.
