Design-led expertise
A boutique studio led by a Bachelor of Architecture graduate.
25 years of experience
Bringing design thinking and practical construction knowledge together.
Your priorities, carried through
Space, budget and buildability considered from the beginning.
CONSIDERED FROM THE BEGINNING
A home should feel like you.
The ease of a morning routine. A quiet place to retreat. A kitchen that brings people together. The most meaningful design begins with the life it needs to support.
Dan Meta is a Sydney design studio shaping residential and commercial spaces around people, place and purpose. We connect creative thinking with the practical decisions that help a project move forward.
RESIDENTIAL
A place to belong.
Custom homes, considered renovations and interiors with a sense of belonging. We look beyond a collection of rooms to the way light, movement and materials shape daily life.
A clear brief and an early conversation about budget help the design grow in the right direction.

FROM IDEA TO REALITY
Clarity at every stage.
01 / UNDERSTAND
Start with what matters.
Your ambitions, site and budget become a shared brief. We identify what needs to be understood before moving ahead.
02 / DEVELOP
Give the idea shape.
Layout, materials and cost priorities develop together, with clear decisions at each stage.
03 / DELIVER
Carry the detail through.
We carry the design through construction with Kiom Projects, bringing the details together from documentation to handover.
COMMERCIAL
Spaces that work beautifully.
A welcome that feels right. A customer journey that makes sense. A workplace that supports its people. We consider the experience of a space alongside the business operating within it.
THE STUDIO NOTEBOOK
Good decisions begin with good questions.
Practical reading on planning a home, choosing materials and bringing a space to life.
Planning your home
Before the first drawing: a better brief for your home
A useful brief begins with daily life. These questions help turn preferences, frustrations and possibilities into a clear starting point.
Planning your home
Renovate, extend or rebuild? Start with the right questions
Before choosing a direction, consider what is worth keeping, what the site allows and how much change your household really needs.
Planning your home
Keep the design and the budget in the same conversation
A useful budget is more than a construction figure. Clear priorities and timely decisions help make cost conversations more meaningful.
