We work with clients who value timeless design and a personal connection to their home, creating interiors that balance function, craftsmanship and individuality.

Navigating a heritage renovation or contemporary new build requires a disciplined approach and a seasoned eye. As a close-knit studio, we provide a structured path through the complexities of design phase, with each project overseen by Principal Designer Jessica Viscarde. We specialise in resolving the hundreds of decisions related to the unique requirements of the space with a holistic design-led approach, and are your lead design consultant, strategist and advocate for the project.

We don't just offer interior design services, we provide the expert framework and trusted network of suppliers, makers and consultants to ensure your vision is realised without the overwhelm.

Initial Design Consultation

Every project begins with an initial design consultation, where we take the time to understand your home, ideas, lifestyle and long-term goals for the space.

Together, we explore the aesthetic and functional considerations unique to your project, helping simplify decisions and create a clearer direction moving forward. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or seeking guidance before making key design decisions, the session is designed to provide practical, considered advice tailored to your home.

Consultations are held on-site or online, depending on location and project requirements.

The session can also function as a standalone advisory consultation for those seeking professional design guidance prior to renovating or furnishing independently.

What our clients say

Jess worked with us from the very start in helping us renovate our Edwardian home. From the concrete style bench tops to the gorgeous pops of wallpaper to sourcing bespoke petrol green couches that were made in Melbourne, everything was beyond our dreams and very much in keeping with our style and our hopes for the home. It would be a very long review if I were to do justice to Jess’s skills and how she helped us create our dream home and breathe magic into the walls of this grand old house.
