Expertise.

Architecture

We create bespoke residential architecture, including new builds, extensions, and additions, as well as period restorations and renovations. Our goal is to design spaces that not only fulfill our clients' needs but also endure over time, promoting a sense of harmony and connection with the natural environment.

At About Architecture, we take pride in providing a seamless end-to-end service that guides you through every phase of the project, from initial conceptual design to the completed build. Our process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and lifestyle requirements, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully considered.

Our collaborative approach is integral to our success. We work closely with local builders, consultants, and trades, leveraging their expertise to create a cohesive team that is dedicated to achieving exceptional results. These partnerships allow us to navigate the complexities of each project efficiently, ensuring that the resolution of the built form not only meets but exceeds our clients’ expectations.

We believe that architecture should be both functional and inspiring, and our designs reflect a commitment to quality, sustainability, and aesthetic integrity. By integrating elements that resonate with the unique character of the site, we create environments that enhance the overall experience of living in and interacting with the space.

Interior Design

Our interior design service works in collaboration with the architecture to curate a comprehensive design from outside-in. Whether you are building or renovating, our interior designer will take care of every little detail – from concept design, custom joinery, finishes, fixture and light selections – to furniture and styling specifications and construction documentation. We work with our clients to develop a comprehensive design that captures the essence of our clients and how they live, work, and play.

Community & Master Planning

At About Architecture, we recognise the significant impact that innovative civic design can have on a community, extending our focus beyond just residential projects. Our local initiatives—including streetscape renewal throughout the Strathbogie Shire, town wayfinding signage, master planning for music festivals, and pop-up engagement spaces—have allowed us to witness firsthand the positive effects of thoughtful and context-aware design.

We believe that truly effective community design requires a deep understanding of the community itself. Through these projects, we take pride in our ability to communicate openly, gather regular feedback, and build strong relationships with key stakeholders. This commitment has helped us immerse ourselves in the local community and forge meaningful partnerships with various organisations and groups.

With experience in creating master plans for both private and public entities, we create high-level schematic designs that align within the constraints of a client's brief. We collaborate closely with our clients, driven to achieve and visualise the project's key objectives during the planning stages. By exploring various design responses, we provide clients with valuable insights that help them assess the feasibility and scope of their projects.

Collaboration.
At About Architecture we are committed to empowering our clients to join us in the design journey, believing that your involvement and unique requirements create a richer and more imaginative outcome.
Vision.
We trial, we test. It is through this approach we reveal opportunities and resolve project challenges, creating impactful, long-lasting designs.
Connection.
The true value of exceptional architecture lies in the spaces it shapes. While design trends may come and go, the enduring impact of architecture is felt through the emotional experience cultivated within these spaces. From our perspective, the most exceptional homes exude a sense of relaxation, warmth, and invitation, creating spaces that stand the test of time.
