What We Do
We are an architecture and interior design studio that works with our clients for the whole life of their project. That means we are involved with you from the earliest conversations about what a project could be, through design, documentation and construction, and beyond.
Our work covers a wide range of project types: private homes, tourism and hospitality, education, social and affordable housing, commercial offices, community buildings, heritage restorations and adaptive reuse. What connects them is not the typology but the way we work— carefully and collaboratively, with emphasis on well-resolved, practical outcomes that create places of genuine quality and beauty, all within the constraints of each brief.
We are a studio of 35+ people across four offices, but we work as a single team. Every project benefits from collective review and critique, regardless of where it starts or how large it is. That depth of resource is one of the things that distinguishes us — and it is something our clients notice.
Where to begin.
Not every project arrives fully formed. Sometimes you have a site and an idea but aren’t sure whether it’s viable. Sometimes you know what you need but not what it will cost, or whether planning will allow it. That’s where we often start.
A feasibility study or project exploration is a low-commitment way to test an idea with experienced, honest advice. We look at the site, the brief, the planning constraints and the budget, and give you a clear picture of what is possible — and what isn’t. If the project stacks up, we’ve laid the groundwork for everything that follows. If it doesn’t, you’ve found that out early, before committing significant time or money.
For residential clients, we often suggest beginning with a project exploration stage. It allows us to get to know each other, understand the site and the brief, and test whether our way of working is the right fit. For commercial and government clients, a feasibility study or master plan serves a similar purpose — establishing the scope, the constraints and the strategic direction before design begins in earnest.
These early stages are some of the most valuable work we do. They set the project up properly, and they set the relationship up properly too.

Commercial, government and public projects.
We have deep experience in complex, multi-stakeholder projects across tourism, hospitality, education, community infrastructure, social housing, master planning and adaptive reuse. Our directors and senior team have worked across some of Australia’s most demanding project briefs in these sectors — from extensions to an Antarctic research station to visitor centres in World Heritage wilderness areas, from specialist schools to airport precincts.
What all of these projects have in common is complexity. Multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, tight budgets and demanding programs. We manage that complexity through a structured methodology — a step-by-step process with clear milestones and quality assurance at every stage. It is rigorous, but it is not rigid. The structure gives us the discipline to manage scope and cost, while leaving room for the design to evolve through genuine collaboration with our clients, consultants and communities.
We regularly coordinate large multidisciplinary consultant teams, and our established relationships with engineers, sustainability consultants, cost planners, landscape architects and specialist advisors across Australia mean we can assemble the right team for any brief. We work across all procurement methods and contract types, and we are experienced in navigating heritage approvals, planning authorities and government stakeholder processes.
We are particularly proud of our architectural work in social and affordable housing, education, and tourism — sectors where design quality has a direct and lasting impact on communities. In these projects economy, resourcefulness and a genuine understanding of how people will use the building matters most.

Residential architecture.
We have a dedicated residential team with deep expertise in private homes — new builds, renovations, extensions and heritage adaptations. Residential architecture requires a particular kind of attention. The decisions are personal, the budget is real, and the outcome is something you live in every day. We take that seriously.
Our residential process is organised into a series of clear stages, each with defined deliverables and a client sign-off before progressing to the next. Our design process is genuinely collaborative — we spend time understanding how you live, what you value, and what the site offers. We test ideas with you through plans, models and 3D views. We work through material palettes with you so you can see what it will be like before it’s built. And we work closely with builders throughout construction to make sure the quality of the design is carried through to the finished home.
Every residential project benefits from the full resource of the studio. Our four offices work as a single team, which means your project is reviewed, tested and challenged by people beyond your immediate design team. It’s a depth of input that residential clients don’t always expect from a practice our size, and it makes a real difference to the outcome.

Interior design.
Our interior design team works as an integrated part of the wider studio. On architectural projects, the interiors team is involved from concept design — shaping spatial planning, material selection, joinery design and the curation of fixtures and fittings alongside the architectural design. This early involvement avoids the costly misalignments that can occur when interior design is treated as a later stage, and it produces buildings where the architecture and the interior experience feel like one continuous idea.
We also take on standalone interior design commissions — restaurant fitouts, office interiors, residential refurbishments and furniture selection projects. These follow their own structured process, from initial brief and mood boarding through to documentation, procurement and installation. The same care and rigour applies whether the project is a full architectural commission or a focused interiors brief.
Our interiors work ranges from spatial planning and built-in joinery through to the selection of loose furniture, lighting, window furnishings and art. For clients who want a complete service, we can manage the procurement and installation of furnishings as well, ensuring the finished space matches the design intent right down to the last detail.

The kind of projects we do best.
We work best with clients who are genuinely interested in the design process — people who see architecture as a collaboration rather than a transaction. Our strongest projects have come from clients who bring a clear ambition, a willingness to engage openly, and a shared commitment to quality, sustainability and positive impact.
We work across a wide range of project scales, from considered residential renovations through to large-scale public buildings and multi-year master plans. What matters to us is not the size and ambition of the project but the quality of the conversation and whether we can add value to the project.
If you have a project you’d like to discuss, we’d welcome the conversation. The best place to start is often a simple phone call or email to one of our studios.
