The designer at her desk with samples, drawings and a laptop

The studio · two designers · one desk each

About the studio

We start with how you use the room.

Before style there is the question of what you do in the space and at what time of day. Everything else follows that: the layout, then the light, then the materials, and only then the colour.

Two of us. One trained in architecture and draws the things builders need; the other spent ten years in textiles and chooses the things you touch. Every project has both of us in it.

The design stages are a fixed fee, agreed before we start. You are free to buy the pieces anywhere; if you buy through us the trade discount is yours.

How a project runs

Four stages, one fee.

Stone and timber samples laid out on a wooden table
Fabric swatches and a concrete sample on a table

Samples come to you, not the other way round

01
The home visit

Two hours in the space with both of us. We measure, photograph, and ask how you live there. A written proposal follows within the week.

02
Layout and light

Two layouts to choose between, a lighting plan, and the things a builder or electrician would need. This is where most of the thinking happens.

03
Materials and pieces

A palette of real samples brought to the room, then a shopping list with two options at each price. Nothing on it that we have not sat on or touched.

04
Install and styling

We are there for deliveries and the last day, when everything is placed. Then we leave you to it and come back in a year with a camera.

Start here

Start with a home visit.

Two hours in the space, a conversation about how you use it and what time of day you are in it, and a written proposal within the week. The visit is $120 and comes off the design fee.

A photograph and a sentence is enough to start. We reply within two working days.
