Delivering GLOBAL design with local expertise
Two architects, one team.
World-class design requires an equally world-class local delivery team from the start.
After years of working with international architects, we know this better than anyone.
We translate global design into the Australian context, always protecting the architect's vision.
And we are that local team.

Global design thinking, refined through local knowledge
We’re ahead of the game.
With more than 30 years of combined experience working on global projects, we’ve learned where things can break down – drafting, setup, communication, timing – and built systems and processes that make designing across borders as seamless as possible.
We also understand that great design needs practical delivery. We oversee the realities of coordinating planning approvals, consultants, documentation, local standards, builders, and site involvement.
“It’s a dream working with Rory and Renata. They carry themselves so professionally, but are very easy to work with and can also take advice.”
— Matthew Bell, Architect
We draw on our local expertise to bring your project to life.
Our goal is to translate your vision to make sense in Australia. We have the connections and the local knowledge to deliver your design with competency.
Working in Australia presents unique challenges, from strict planning approvals and compliance requirements to local consultants. We’re bridge these knowledge gaps as your trusted local partner on the ground.
From the first conversations, we bring a grounded understanding of constructability, compliance and local feasibility.
Because we’re involved before you even put pen to paper, we ensure the vision is achievable, efficient, and aligned with local conditions.
“Renata and Rory were excellent at refining architectural details and specifications, working with the builder to find practical solutions that maintained the integrity of the design while keeping costs under control.”
– Kirsty Gold, Homeowner

A private sanctuary that responds to the design vision and the site’s climate and views
We’re different.
No-one else operates in this space the way we do, exclusively focused on delivering international design in Australia without compromise.
We’re the architect of record in Australia you can rely on to deliver your project.
When these roles are clear from the outset, you get better outcomes, fewer surprises, and a much calmer experience overall.
How we collaborate
We work with international architects from the earliest stages of design through to completion in Australia. Early advice on feasibility, compliance and constructability helps shape the project, followed by coordination of consultants, documentation and delivery on the ground.
It’s a continuous collaboration, ensuring the design intent is carried through to construction.
“Rory and Renata understood the design vision deeply, and helped the team bring that vision to life.”
— Philip Olmesdahl, Principal at SAOTA
