INSIGHTS FROM THE STUDIO
The questions behind good design.
Planning a project brings decisions you may never have needed to make before. These guides offer a useful starting point, with questions to take into your own design conversation.
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.
Design and materials
Natural light, without giving away your privacy
More glass is not always the answer. Window placement, views and the depth of a room shape how daylight feels.
Design and materials
Materials that feel right—and live well
Look beyond a small sample. Texture, maintenance, transitions and everyday use all belong in the selection process.
Commercial spaces
Before a commercial fit-out: resolve the brief behind the brand
A useful starting point for retail, hospitality and workplace projects: operations, tenancy information and the decisions that affect delivery.
