Heritage Architecture
We specialise in heritage architecture, with a deep respect for the character and history of existing buildings. Our approach carefully balances preservation with contemporary living, ensuring each project retains its original integrity while being thoughtfully adapted for modern use. With a strong understanding of heritage controls and approvals, we guide projects seamlessly from concept through to completion.
Interior Design
Our interior design approach is defined by refined, cohesive spaces that elevate the way you live. Each interior is meticulously curated, balancing materiality, light, and proportion to achieve a seamless expression of form and function.
From concept through to detailed documentation, every element is resolved with precision. This stage unifies the project – ensuring architecture and interiors are fully integrated, delivering a cohesive and enduring result.
STUDIO HMD - OUR DESIGN PROCESS
Whilst each project is completely unique, we follow a structured, collaborative design process to ensure each project is carefully tailored to the site, the client, and project objectives.
Our 7-step consultation and design process ensures consistency from the first consultation, right through to the final build handover. Our consistent design process helps to keep things organised and make sure nothing gets missed along the way.
1. Initial Meeting
During our initial meeting we’ll take the time to understand your goals and personal values. We ask probing questions to uncover insights and determine project feasibility.
2. Schematic Design
Following our initial meeting and consultation, we’ll begin an initial scoping study to understand the site, constraints, and opportunities that may already exist. We work closely throughout this stage to ensure our approach aligns with your vision for the project whilst also considering the site and your budget.
3. Concept Design
The concept design stage establishes the overall vision for your project. During the concept design phase we will explore design ideas, spatial relationships, and various architectural concepts that respond to your project brief, site conditions, and any planning constraints.
4. Developed Design
Once the concept design is established your proposal is further refined and developed to reflect the final vision. The develop design stage of the process is about strengthening the architectural design which includes the relationship between spaces, material selection, service integration, and other key design elements.
5. Development Application (DA) Documentation
Once the design has been finalised, we prepare the Development Application (DA) approval document and coordinate with relevant consultants to seek approval. This includes preparing architectural drawings and the required supporting documents to submit your design to the local council.
6. Construction Certificate (CC) Documentation
Once the Development Application (DA) has been passed, the design documentation is further detailed to prepare the project for tender.
7. Construction Management
Once approvals and documentation are complete, we assist with the handover to your builder. If required, we can also help to manage the process to ensure the project is delivered as intended by working with builders, consultants, and other contractors on the project.
