OUR APPROACH

Intentionally small studio

As an intentionally small boutique studio, we offer a level of service rarely found in the market. By limiting the number of projects we undertake each year, we create the time and space required to deliver carefully considered, highly detailed and resolved designs

Houses are all we do

Solely dedicated to the design of high-quality single residential homes, we offer a level of specialised expertise uncommon in the industry. With over a decade of experience, every stage of every project is led by a registered architect from concept through to completion. Our award winning designs are recognised for excellence in residential and interior design.

Tailored design, tailored process

With a limited number of projects each year, we have the flexibility to adapt our process to suit each client’s needs, whether that be fast-tracking a stage or allowing extra time for thoughtful decision-making. Our tightly managed programming ensures clients are never left waiting, with Resources dedicated exclusively to each project so every stage is delivered on schedule. We create modern houses that reflect each client’s unique preferences and lifestyle.

The company we keep

Over the years, we have built a trusted network of exceptional suppliers and trades, renowned for delivering work of the highest calibre. We collaborate exclusively with Perth’s most respected boutique builders, many of whom work solely with architects and rarely advertise their services, ensuring a level of craftsmanship you simply won’t find in the mainstream market.

OUR DESIGN ETHOS

Avoid trends, cultivate personal taste

Your home will be around for a long time, and therefore should not be too swayed by current trends. Invest in materials that last and age well. How a stone floor feels under foot is less to do with trends and more to do with personal preference and comfort. We design in a way that will ensure you love how your home looks now, and in the future.

Design from the inside out

We get a complete understanding of how you want to live so we can prioritise what it will feel like for you to move through your home. Once we understand this, only then do we address what it will look like from the outside. We like bold design elements, this adds personality and value to your property, but there must be an element of mystery, maintaining your privacy and security.

Spend what you need to, but no more

While it is easy to design to any budget, it’s not always necessary. We are honest about what it will cost to achieve the size and style of home of you are after. Superfluous spending on premium materials that do not enhance the lifestyle of the occupants are of little interest to us. We do, however, believe in investing in quality where it matters – just as silk feels more luxe against the skin than polyester, so it is with the materials that we touch and feel every day in the home.

Understand Luxury

We define luxury as the private comfort and ease of daily living, not by the amount of marble cladding on the walls. It’s about the things you don’t always see that add the most luxury; whether that be the hidden underfloor heating, the high quality glazing systems, the heavy weight door handles or the considered lighting design that sets the mood for parties.
