Conceptual Design
This is the first step of the design journey.It’s where we translate your vision, ideas, and lifestyle needs into a creative and functional design direction, this generally happens as an in person or zoom meeting.We explore big-picture ideas.Instead of focusing on construction details, we start by thinking about overall layout, shape, space, flow, light, and how your building will feel and function.We look at how your site can best be used.Whether it’s a sloped block, a small lot, or a view you want to capture — we assess orientation, access, natural light, breeze, and surroundings to inform the design.You’ll see sketches and early plans.These may be hand-drawn or digital diagrams that give a clear sense of what the project might look like — from floor plans to 3D massing models (simple shapes that represent building form).We test multiple options.Sometimes there’s more than one way to solve a design problem. We show you the possibilities and help you weigh them up.It’s a collaborative phase.We’ll work closely with you to refine the design vision — your feedback is essential. This is where dreams start to take shape.Outcomes typically include:- Concept floor plans- Initial site layout- 3D massing or basic visualisations- Mood boards or inspiration imagery- A clear design direction to move forward withNo builder is needed yet.This stage is all about ideas. It’s perfect if you want to explore possibilities before committing to construction.Town Planning (if required)If your project is in a heritage area, character zone, or outside typical planning rules, we’ll guide you through the council process:- We identify whether a Development Application (DA) is needed.- We prepare the required drawings, reports, and supporting documents.- We liaise with town planners and council to make the process as smooth as possible.This ensures the concept meets both your goals and any local planning requirements from the outset.
Architectural Planning
This is where ideas start turning into buildable plans.After confirming the concept design, we begin developing it into something more detailed, accurate, and aligned with your budget, timeline, and approval requirements.We refine the layout and design.This includes adjusting room sizes, wall placements, ceiling heights, and circulation — making sure everything flows well and functions beautifully.We consider materials, construction methods, and systems.At this stage, we explore material selections, how the building will be built, and early integration of services like lighting, ventilation, and sustainability features.We prepare documentation for consultants and approvals.We create the architectural drawings and information needed for engineers, surveyors, and other consultants to begin their work.We align the design with regulations.We check compliance with building codes, zoning rules, and other requirements to avoid issues down the track.You get a clearer picture of your project.Plans become more detailed, and we may produce updated 3D visuals, elevations, and sections so you can better understand the design from all angles.Outcomes typically include:- Developed floor plans and elevations- Refined site planning- Material and finishes direction- Coordination with external consultants- Drawings suitable for building approval (e.g. Development or Building Permit)It’s a key bridging stage.Architectural planning links the creative vision with real-world construction, ensuring your design is beautiful, functional, and achievable.
Interior Design
This is where we bring the inside of your space to life.We focus on how your interiors look, feel, and function — creating spaces that reflect your personality and enhance everyday living.We design for beauty and practicality.From kitchens and bathrooms to living areas and bedrooms, we make sure each space not only looks great but works seamlessly for how you live.We select materials, finishes, and fittings.We guide you through choices like benchtops, flooring, tiles, joinery, lighting, tapware, colours, and textures — ensuring everything flows together as a cohesive whole.We create custom joinery solutions.From vanities to wardrobes and kitchen cabinetry, we tailor every detail to suit your storage needs, style preferences, and spatial layout.We design with mood and atmosphere in mind.Lighting, textures, and materials are all considered to create spaces that feel calm, warm, elegant, or bold — whatever best suits you.It’s tailored to your lifestyle.Whether you want minimalist, earthy, contemporary, or something completely unique — we design interiors that reflect your story and enhance your daily rituals.Outcomes typically include:- Detailed interior layouts and elevations- Custom joinery drawings- Finishes and materials schedules- Interior colour palette- Fixtures, fittings, and appliance selectionsIt ties seamlessly into the architecture.Because we handle both the building and the interiors, everything is designed to work together — inside and out.
Drafting & Rendering
This is where we turn design into precise, buildable documentation — and bring it to life visually.We produce the technical drawings builders need to quote and construct your project, and we create visualisations so you can clearly picture the final outcome.We prepare detailed architectural documentation.This includes scaled drawings with dimensions, materials, notes, and construction details — everything a builder or consultant needs to work accurately and efficiently.We coordinate with consultants.We work closely with engineers, surveyors, certifiers, and other specialists to ensure the final documentation is clear, coordinated, and ready for approvals or construction.We provide visual clarity with 3D renders.Photorealistic or stylised renderings help you visualise how your design will look in real life — including lighting, materials, landscaping, and spatial feel.We offer both technical and creative support.Whether you need a full documentation package, 3D visuals for marketing, or assistance navigating approvals, we tailor this stage to suit your project needs.Outcomes typically include:- Construction-ready architectural drawings (plans, sections, elevations, details)- Documentation for Building Approval (BA) or Construction Certificate (CC)- 3D exterior and interior renders- Landscape and material visualisation (if required)- Coordination with consultants and buildersIt’s the final step before construction begins.With drawings in hand and visuals to guide the vision, your project is ready to move from paper to reality.
