Process
Every project is unique, however most projects follow a structured design process. This approach allows ideas to be carefully developed and refined to achieve the best outcome for the site, the client, and the project.
01
Design Brief
Every project begins with understanding your goals. We discuss the site, budget, possible constraints, and how the building needs to function to establish a clear project brief.
02
Concept Design
The initial design direction for the project is developed in response to the site, climate, context, and functional requirements. This stage establishes the overall vision for the project.
03
Preliminary Design
The concept is developed into clearer plans to better understand the building’s scale, proportions, and massing. Early consideration is also given to planning controls and relevant regulations.
04
Design Development
The design is refined and coordinated with building requirements. Key elements of the building are developed further to ensure the project is practical and buildable.
05
Interior Design
Interior spaces are considered once the building layout is largely resolved. Materials, finishes, joinery, and lighting are explored to support the overall design.
06
Preliminary Working Drawings
Drawings are prepared to communicate the design for approvals and early consultation with builders or consultants.
07
Construction Drawings
A detailed set of drawings and documentation is prepared to guide construction and communicate the final design intent.
Project Types
Each project is developed in response to climate, site and context, drawing on subtropical design principles.
01
Custom Homes
Designing homes that respond to lifestyle, climate and site conditions.
02
Townhouse Developments
Designing multi-residential projects that maximise site potential while creating quality living environments.
03

04
Industrial and Warehouse Buildings
Designing efficient industrial buildings that combine practicality with thoughtful design.
05
Renovations and Extensions

FAQs
How much do your services cost?
Design fees vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Once we understand your project brief, site and scope, we can provide a tailored fee proposal outlining the services required.
How long does the design process take?
The timeframe varies depending on the scale of the project and approval requirements. Most projects typically take several months to design and document before construction begins.
Do you assist with approvals and consultants?
Yes. Where required we can assist with coordinating consultants and preparing the documentation required for approvals and construction.
