the process

We believe that there is more to residential buildings than meets the eye...and each and every one of them needs to be unique and befitting of you, your family, your requirements and can grow with you. Let us explain what we mean by 'grow with you' below. Enabling you to use your space in a number of flexible ways - spatially, adaptable spaces, changeable uses (future proofing - i.e. conversion to property investment in future).

How we do this
For our residential projects, we focus on understanding your unique needs and requirements both now and into the future, and couple that with investigations into your local property market. Our initial research process allows use to understand what you need and how we can best help you achieve your home-related goals. In some instances, we can make recommendations (drawing on our network of reputable property agents and valuers) for the best investments longer term for you, your significant other, and your family.

We work with our clients to create places that leave a positive impact on their life - inspiring happiness and well-being.
Happiness and well-being comes in many shapes and forms, such as emotional well-being, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, monetary or financial aspects.

To fulfil part of this puzzle, we focus on the creation of a building, in many instances your forever home, that is either reflective of you and your identity, style and needs, or reflects the desired market appropriate design. We work hard to create something that is befitting of you, your day-to-day needs, finance requirements, and future aspirations or property plans, coupling our design expertise with commercial know-how.

Unique Design Themes for Short Term Stays (Accommodation)
Sometimes, we get the opportunity to help our clients into their latest business ventures.
We work with these clients to develop up unique design solutions to high value potential properties.

Identify possible locations for Short Term residences
Develop the design vision - based on market research (local area competition)
Work with you to develop and create your business case (ROI)
Design and deliver the building product that is aligned to a point of difference, and the agreed design vision, budget and time-frame

Property Investment Design (small scale)
Some of our clients embark on a property adventure that entails investment, and sometimes we are lucky enough to be part of that process. We assist our clients throughout this process by:

Offering advice on site selections (in consultation with local market experts)
These property investments can be something from a one storey home in a new master planned community, a townhouse, or a property that has been renovated to achieve

Residential Developments (large scale)
for residential projects - we focus on creating an optimal design outcome that is informed by understanding our clients needs and requirements (both now and into the future), as well as considering your monetary investment and how that will work for you longer term.

For some of our clients, we also offer development services:

Pre-lodgement and development advice (Local Government)
Feasibility of your site (what is possible to build or develop on your property)

Research services

Because we like to drill down on what our clients, customers and inhabitants of spaces really want and need, we also offer research services.
