Our architects and interior designers are passionate about enhancing lives through well-considered, well-detailed, and well-built spaces. And we apply local and international best practice to all aspects of design, creating high-quality residential buildings.


Additions & Alterations

CONNAUGHT APARTMENT

An apartment renovation in Sydney, Australia which maximised the small space available, providing a fresh, modern outlook.

KITCHEN & HOUSE ALTERATIONS

We received great support from Pynenburg & Collins Architects throughout the renovation process, and when any issues were encountered, Ken worked closely with the builders and joiners to find the best solution. We are delighted with the end result.

SEAFORTH HOUSE

A new build in Sydney, Australia focussing on accessibility.

 

LYTTLETON HOUSE NEW BUILD

Simon worked closely with us and all other parties, his calm professionalism and ability to think outside the square has resulted in the perfect balance of unique and pleasing design features while meeting the demands of a tight, difficult site.

— Glen and Katharin - Homeowners

CUNNINGHAM TERRACE NEW BUILD

Simon listened and exceeded the brief, giving us a hill build that works in everyway for a family. The build opened up spaces to the section in ways that brought in new vistas and hidden nooks.

WATERLOO HOUSE

This extensive house features large living spaces at ground floor, a private swimming pool and spa area, and separate guest house.

Community

BISHOP SNEDDEN

“They listened, they listened and they listened. They were responsive and they were very professional. They inspired trust - they came across as being careful and thoughtful.”
- Les and Gaye

WOBURN APARTMENTS

The brief called for 86 independent-living apartments to complement an existing rest home and hospital. Creating a sense of community was important, as well as ensuring the building was sensitive to the character and scale of the surrounding neighbourhood.
