Can you think of a place that has effected you deeply?
Perhaps somewhere you felt at peace, or inspired - or more truly yourself?
The truth is our surroundings matter. The places in which we live, learn and play effect us in strong and subtle ways. Our aim is to design spaces that enhance our everyday lives. We do this by listening deeply to your needs and dreams. We then call upon our many years of experience to handcraft places that satisfy at every level. We are thrilled by the response we get from our delightful (and delighted) clients.

Testimonials
"Dear Samara, thank you so much for being you - for the first time in a long time I don't feel crazy about my house and our choices and I'm excited about the possibilities that lay ahead. You are truly wonderful at what you do, and how you do it. MUCH LOVE, Kx"
Kylie
"Hi Samara, Jason and I just want to thank you again for being SO helpful. It has really helped up both to work out how hard we want to push for our place, and to see its potential."
Maddy and Jason
"It has been an amazing feeling to find an architect to materialize OUR vision, instead of having one pushed upon us."
Jason & Rachel
"Dear Anna and Samara, Just wanted to say a big thank you to you both for yesterday's workshop. I enjoyed every minute of it. Your beautiful office space overlooking the forest of trees and river below was such a calming place to spend the day. I feel much better about our future renovation plans. Now maybe I can have a few more things incorporated in our home than I thought!"
Lindy
"Thanks Sam and Anna for a wonderful day. The Dream Home Workshop has opened my eyes and inspired me to look at home improvement/renovating/ building and buying in a whole new light"
Angela
"Hi Anna and Samara, a quick note to say thanks for the workshop a couple of weeks ago. It has got me right into the mood of developing our "brief", I look forward to sharing with you the finished product and working with you to turn it into a reality.”
Narelle and Andrew
"Thank you so much for the feasibility study you did for us as part of our research into a prospective property purchase. Although we didn’t ultimately purchase the property, with your expertise and guidance behind us we felt we were as well prepared to bid as we could be. Your report was comprehensive and well researched, and gave us a great understanding of the property’s potential and constraints, and the costs and practicalities that the project would have entailed. We felt that you shared our initial vision and you helped us to shape and refine it to take it further. We’d certainly do the same again if the opportunity presented, and hope that next time we can work with you as our architect to turn the vision into reality!"
