Meet Gennadi

“Archidea was born out of my passion for residential architecture. I believe that architecture is not only the art of creating great looking buildings, but also the art of organising people’s lives”.

With over 30 years in the construction industry, I love to use my knowledge and experience in architecture, design and construction to improve people’s lives by re-arranging their houses or apartments or creating new homes.

As the Director of Archidea, I manage projects from the design stage through to construction, ensuring practical and efficient designs.

Efficient Feasibility & Council negotiations. 27 new dwellings and 2 extra apartment levels.

…As an expert developer , I’ve collaborated with many design firms, but my experience with Kate and Genn from Archidea has been most efficient. Their feasibility process helped me identify opportunities on the land I acquired.

We had very productive council meeting where they negotiated to increase the number of dwellings to 27! On another site, they added 2 extra levels for the apartment building.

Thanks guys, we make a great team.
