Something inside me wanted to start anew. Decades of successful practice working for well-known design firms in Australia and across the globe was entirely rewarding however a new challenge beckoned. A well-established career, a network of clients who had become friends, a portfolio of work to be immensely proud of and a continued ambition to just keep getting better. It wasn’t an act of rebellion; it had been building and now demanded an answer to that question that kept arriving in the quiet nights… can I do this my way?
I love architecture and design. I love problem solving, meeting people and connecting over the desire to make buildings and spaces better. I love the process of co-ordinating with other like-minded people passionate in their field to bring a project together. From aiding a client in the initial site acquisition, to posturing what could be in response to a client brief.
Developing a design where you heart is not just on your sleeve but on the page. The investigation, testing, teasing, sketching, rendering, drawing, specifying.. each part of it enlivens the mind and the soul. I’ll do this to the end of days.
We are a boutique architecture and interior design practice of thirteen, united by a shared belief in essentialism and over two decades of collective experience across studios large and small.
We’re a boutique architecture and interior design practice of thirteen with collective experiences in small, medium and large studios. Building a steady portfolio of work across individual houses, townhouses, apartment buildings, boutique office buildings and hotels. We are establishing a body of work that is thoughtful, reasoned, intriguing and clever.
There’s an intentional quietness to the work, borne out of years of refinement. We describe ourselves as being Essentialist; devoid of extraneous detail but full of the considerations for what makes a space compelling. Most of all we’re having a good time doing it and we collaborate with our clients to ensure that they are too.
