Projects completed range from multi-residential units and townhouse projects, to new homes.
We strive in the homes we design to provide client’s with options which enrich their lifestyle. Our focus is on a more sustainable direction, both through the design and in the build process.
The homes we design vary depending on clients preferences. We have provided clients with modern home designs. But similarly we have worked on remote and rural homes with traditional characters. We have renovated suburban Queenslanders and apartments or townhouses.
A common thread in the work is the approach and the sustainability we believe infuses our works, rather than a specific style which can date over time. If you would like your house to look a particular way we are usually happy to help achieve that – in the way which best suits your lifestyle and budget, the site, and the climate.
Similarly, we enjoy assisting our clients with smaller projects such as granny flats and extensions, and renovations.
