Residential & Commercial
Are you planning to build or renovate and feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the undertaking and uncertain about the costs and benefits of engaging a design practitioner?
Our Aim is to make good design and planning accessible to the wider community. We ensure a premium tailored design solution to your budget for an affordable price. The initial investment in sustainable design and planning solutions reaps it’s rewards in the 'triple bottom line':
- PEOPLE TO PLACE : pragmatic, innovative, appropriate design that links client identity to the context of place.
- PLACE TO PLANET: to minimize impact on the natural environment. Create built environments that give back: accumulating water, solar energy and bio-diversity and be carbon neutral.
- PROFIT TO PEOPLE & PLANET: the pertinent question is not only what we can spend (budget) but what we can save. The profit is time and money saved in construction, money saved in the long term in energy and resource use and money saved in maintenance and care. All good for the planet and the client.
Successful design outcomes are attained through a collaborative approach. The client’s identity, future needs and conditions are distilled, developed and integrated into the design process where emphasis is placed on ongoing communication and analysis in each phase.

+ado pre-purchase property & building inspections
Our home is often our most single largest investment and it's crucial for buyers to be fully aware of any defects. A pre-purchase property inspection is a comprehensive visual inspection that reports on the condition and safety of not only the exterior and interior of a building but also the site. They give the purchaser a clearer understanding of the condition, defects at the time of the inspection. The report is a vital tool in any further negotiations the client may be involved in.
Reporting method & investigation are bound by the Australian Standards series for Building Inspections AS4349 2007.
