our core design services

We are a full-service architecture studio which means we have the skills, ability and qualifications to provide you with all the professional design services you need to get your project completed from start to finish.

Architecture & Interior Design

We design total physical environments for hospitality and retail food businesses including new buildings, complete interior fit-outs, major building renovations and outdoor environments.

  • Whether your project involves constructing a new building or extending an existing one, we have the skills and knowledge to design a purpose-built structure that seamlessly accommodates an interior F&B fit-out.

  • We enjoy working on projects that result in stunning transformations.

    Our expertise lies in renovating buildings and refurbishing interiors, which can result in a remarkable "wow" factor as we redefine spaces beyond conventional expectations.

    We can help you visualise your business within a space or building and offer practical advice on the extent of the work you should undertake to achieve your vision.

  • If your tenancy is one open-plan space, it can be difficult to know where to start. When working with tenancies in shopping centres or empty stores on a busy pedestrian strip, we are skilled at breaking down an open space into purposeful, well-defined areas, ensuring an optimal layout that perfectly suits your business and its context.

  • Small-scale food retail venues, like kiosks in shopping centres or micro-stores/cafes, demand careful attention to detail. Our expertise can help you make the most of your limited space, crafting an exceptionally efficient layout and leveraging every centimetre to enhance your brand's visibility and business potential.

  • Outdoor hospitality spaces are just as important as their interior counterparts. Whether you're looking to transform your courtyard or beer garden or add a new parklet, we provide creative solutions to elevate the outdoor dining experience of your customers.

3D Visualisation

Our in-house 3D visualisation gives you photo-realistic views of your proposed design, helping you understand the spatial qualities of your project and our design intent.

  • We use 3D modelling throughout the design process, both as a design tool for ourselves and as a presentation tool to help you better understand the spatial qualities of your project.

  • We provide photo-realistic images for you to better understand your proposed design's colours, textures, and lighting effects. You can also use our high-quality rendered images to market your project during construction. Post the images to your social media accounts and give the photos to online media sources to start creating a buzz around your new venue or store opening.

  • Understanding the flow of customers and staff before your venue is built can help you make informed decisions about the optimum design and layout of your venue.
