While we're often afforded the luxury of designing homes on generous rural sites, we equally relish the challenge of creating that same sense of calm and retreat within an urban environment.

Luxury was once measured by size. Today, it's measured by something far harder to achieve—a home that feels completely your own.

As our neighbourhoods become denser, privacy has become one of the defining challenges of residential design. The question isn't how to shut the world out, but how to create a sense of retreat while remaining open to light, landscape and the rhythms of everyday life.

It's More Than Screening

Privacy isn't created by taller fences or more planting. The best solutions are often built into the design itself. A carefully positioned courtyard. A framed outlook to a garden rather than a neighbouring home. Windows that capture sunlight while directing views with intention. These are the quieter moves that shape how a home feels.

 

Designing for What Matters

The most successful homes don't simply maximise a site—they understand it.

Orientation, neighbouring properties, existing trees and the path of the sun all influence how spaces are arranged. When these elements are considered together, homes can feel remarkably open without ever feeling exposed.

Our Three Roof House is a good example. Although positioned within a blue-chip suburban setting, the home was deliberately set well back from the street, creating a generous arrival sequence that establishes a sense of separation before you even step inside. Beyond the threshold, a series of sheltered courtyards, carefully framed views and layered landscaping create privacy without sacrificing openness or natural light.

 

A Sense of Retreat

Scale will always play a role in residential design, but it's the experience of a home that leaves the greatest impression. For us, thoughtful design is about shaping homes that feel generous, refined and enduring—where every decision contributes to a greater sense of calm and connection.

Planning a new home or renovation? One of the most valuable conversations to have early in the design process is how you want your home to feel—not just how you want it to look. When privacy, light and connection are considered from the outset, the result is a home that continues to reward its owners long after it's complete.

Do you have a favourite building, space or city in the world?

I have many favourites, I really enjoy exploring different places, but one city I have gone back to is Barcelona, Spain: sun, beach, Spanish guitar, Latin dancing, tapas, tinto de verano (summer red wine) and of course…Sagrada Familia…which is truly awe-inspiring - all of Gaudi’s work around the city is inspiring.

How do you define great design?

I think great design is a feeling, it just makes perfect sense; whether that be: in its environment, supports its user and/or a reflection of its identity.

What’s currently inspiring you creatively — whether in architecture, art, travel or everyday life?

Inspiration is everywhere, typically through small details that delight or that irk and I think could be designed differently! Lately, I have been particularly inspired by nature – it’s textures, colours, light, movement.

Are you more drawn to quiet minimalism or layered, lived-in spaces?

I’m drawn to layered, lived-in spaces with character, though I equally appreciate the calm of minimalism!

What’s your favourite part about working in a creative studio environment?

My favourite part of working in a creative studio environment is working as a collaborative and bouncing ideas around, I’m constantly learning from everyone around me. A studio environment is an incredibly accessible source of inspiration.

What’s a small detail in a home that you think makes a big difference?

Lighting. A small detail that makes such an impact on how the space feels - the source, intensity and temperature can completely transform the mood.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give someone building or renovating a home?

One piece of advice: engage a team you trust. Building/renovating can be an overwhelming process…engaging a team you trust gives you the flexibility to be as hands on as you want or comfortably confident trusting the process.

What first sparked your interest in architecture and design?

I love this question! A primary school activity – age 9  – coming up with a house floor plan using a set number of squares on grid paper - I loved the activity - from that day forward the back of my maths books were full of floor plans!

How would you describe your design philosophy in a few words?

Creating meaningful spaces that balance form, function, and environment.

What excites you most about residential architecture?

The opportunity to help bring a dream to life! I thoroughly enjoy creating spaces that support everyday life and evoke emotion.

How do you approach balancing creativity with functionality in a project?

Haha, ah, finding balance through constant problem-solving, it’s going on in the background, always!

Are there any architects, designers or movements that have influenced your style?

Hmm, my style is evolving! Though I find myself drawn to mid-century architecture and bohemian influences – open spaces, natural materials, character.

What part of the design process do you enjoy most?

Spatial planning and problem-solving—imagining how spaces will be lived in and refining solutions until they truly work.

In this video feature, our client Paul Lloyd shares his experience and what he loves most about his home, Nau Mai. Nestled within the breathtaking Clearwater Golf Resort, this exceptional residence offers stunning views of the Southern Alps, combining contemporary design with a refined, resort-like setting.

“We’re immensely proud of the end result,” says Paul. “It took about a year to go through the design and consenting process and just over a year to build. It’s really the small details, and the quality of finish, that is really magnificent. I’ve built houses a couple of times now and this is by far our greatest achievement – we just love it to bits.”
