WHY WORK WITH US?

OBLIGATION FREE CONSULTATION

Prior to commencing any project, we meet the client/s on site for an obligation free consultation.

It is important that everyone feels values aligned and that they are working towards the same vision. This is our first step towards a trusting relationship. After this meeting, we prepare a fee proposal outlining the stages of architectural services that suit this specific project, for its combination of client, brief, budget and site/context.

CLIENT BRIEF

We work closely with clients to develop their brief.

A written brief document assists clients to articulate their requirements, and is a valuable reference throughout the project. We want to ensure that we understand their needs and how they envisage the building being used.

communication

We develop clear modes of communication with everyone that we work with.

From the first meeting, you will have an understanding of project stages and how they relate to architectural deliverables. Throughout the project we keep you informed on critical items such as progress, timeline and budget. You will be guided through the project stages, upcoming steps and what to expect.

We do not shy away from tough conversations. We lean into them as an opportunity for productive discussions in which everyone feels heard.

PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

We pride ourselves on our long term professional relationships.

We have a history of productive, positive experiences with clients, a result of our clear communication and friendly attitude. Building and renovating homes in particular can be a highly emotional and unique experience, but we support our clients to enjoy it too.

For each project, we draw on our network of consultants and contractors that we regularly work with. A building is not designed and constructed in isolation; it is a product of owner, architect, builder and specialist consultants (engineers, heritage, bushfire, acoustic, among others) working together for the best outcome.

SUSTAINABILITY

We believe all buildings should be designed in the context of their location.

We prioritise a thorough site analysis to understand site, context, views, weather patterns and sunlight as the foundations needed to design not only beautiful homes, but buildings that require less artificial lighting and less energy for heating and cooling.

Working closely with builders, we continue to develop our understanding of materials and construction, in order to construct better quality, high performing and longstanding buildings.

Combined with the client specificity of our briefing and design process, we aim to design unique buildings that are a reflection of our clients and their longterm needs and aspirations.
