Design

From first sketch to finished building

Every project starts with a hand sketch. We develop it in 3D, so you can walk through your building long before it is built, then document it and see it through construction.

What we design
Houses
One-off homes, small-lot housing, and renovations of heritage and character houses.
Apartments and townhouses
Medium and high-density housing, designed to the SDA standard so it suits residents of every age and ability.
Community buildings
Halls, libraries and civic buildings that can also serve their town in an emergency.
Childcare
Centres scaled to the children who use them, with windows, rooms and paths at their height.
Commercial and retail
Offices, shops and showrooms, from a single tenancy to a whole building.
Hospitality and industrial
Hotels, sheds and distilleries, where the building is part of the brand.
