We remain small by choice so every project benefits from direct collaboration and shared authorship between directors, designers and clients. We guide each project from concept to completion with consistent attention to detail, from homes to workplaces and mixed-use environments, balancing creativity with technical precision.
We design spaces that feel good to live and work in: architecture that stands the test of time through craft, clarity and care. Our practice is founded on a simple principle: thoughtful design, executed with integrity. Our work has been recognised by The Local Project, Habitus Living and the Boroondara Urban Design Awards, among others.
We work as one practice where directors stay involved and designers take ownership. Collaboration extends across architecture, interiors and landscape, managing the complexities of development: timelines, coordination and cost, while maintaining design integrity.
We value clarity and communication as much as design itself, guiding clients through each stage with transparency, care and attention to detail. Together, these relationships define us: a studio working with integrity, collaboration and care.
Tom Carroll leads design strategy across residential and commercial projects, combining heritage sensitivity with contemporary clarity and spatial precision.
