Biotope Architecture and Interiors

About

Biotope Architecture and Interiors, established in 2020, offers a comprehensive range of services including Architecture Design, Interior Design, Sustainable Design, Heritage preservation, and Small Architecture projects. Our team adopts a holistic approach to designing buildings, focusing on context and enhancing the connection to the site through carefully considered spatial composition. 

We draw inspiration from both immediate and broader landscapes to create natural environment settings for each project. By incorporating elements like courtyards and skylights, we aim to connect the internal spaces with the external environment and surrounding skyscapes. Utilizing passive solar design principles, we strive to reduce costs and demonstrate our commitment to environmental sustainability. 

With a strong emphasis on collaboration with local craftsmen and builders, we work towards transforming spaces while retaining as much of the original heritage fabric as possible. Our design principles are rooted in creating environmentally sensitive and sustainable buildings that blend harmoniously with their surroundings. For your next project, let Biotope Architecture and Interiors be your anchor in the journey towards a thoughtfully designed and executed architectural masterpiece.

We are based in Tasmanian but also work on projects in Melbourne.  

Testimonials

I've been photographing quite a lot of Rosa's work for a number of years. It has always been a pleasure, she creates such beautiful spaces and her attention to detail is exquisite. Whether ground up designs, renovations or interior fit outs, it's always exciting to see her next project.

- Peter Mathew

We worked with Rosa over a couple of years to formulate a design to meets our changing needs and budget. She has a great eye for detail and was very accommodating to our needs. We really liked her design approach and would recommend her to other clients.

- Shona & Anthony Prior

Rosa and her team were amazing from start to finish. They were flexible and adaptable to our needs and requests, yet gave our project so much of their own flair, design and quality. Their communication was always clear, considered and timely. The finished product is amazing, a great build quality, with beautiful design and spaces that we use and are proud of.

- Stuart Beard

Rosa Douramanis was an architect and designer of our home and we are absolutely happy with the result. Working with her meant that not a single tiny detail was left unattended and all our requests were answered and satisfied. 

On top of that Rosa has provided great input in terms of sustainability of our house, and that is a great addition to its beautiful design.

- Olga and Dmitry

We were delighted to work with Rosa (from Biotope Architecture and interiors) on the rebuild and extension of our 1850s sandstone house in central Hobart. This project was a labour of love and, thus, it was paramount to have an architect that was sympathetic to both the heritage aspects of the structure and to the design necessities of modern life. This was achieved through thoughtful and delicate considerations that yielded a result far beyond what we could’ve imagined! We are ecstatic with the final result.
