Dieppe Design

About

Dieppe Design is a small (but mighty!) architecture firm located in Sydney.

We specialise in new builds, alterations & additions, interior renovations and Passive House Design. We work closely with our clients, listening to their design and functional brief, how our clients live their life and what visually inspires them.

The first stage of our process ends in a presentation of unique and personalised concepts, leading to design development all the way to construction and turn-key. We use the latest technology including 3D imagery, video flythroughs and virtual reality to ensure our clients can fully experience our concepts.

This enables us to make changes early in the design development aiming for a seamless construction process. We want the journey to be an enjoyable collaboration between client, architect and builder. In fact, we often miss working with our clients once the project is complete!

Dieppe Design is an A+ member of the Australian Institute of Architects practice and certified in Passivhaus Design. Our consultants, suppliers and contractors are carefully selected and we are proud to share the same ethics ensuring our clients are looked after.

As certified Passivhaus Design Architects, clients can comfortably choose to incorporate Passive House Design concepts or certification into their project. Our aim is to create exceptional architecture & interiors that does not impact the future of our planet.

We feel strongly about the environmental surrounds of each project and the impact it will have on the locale forming part of the design process. Dieppe Design has detailed experience of projects located in bush fire prone areas and any constraints or limitations of the land are thoroughly considered.

To date, Dieppe Design has been inspired how each client lives and connects in their spaces. We learn and evolve from every project looking forward to what our future clients may show us on the next journey.

Testimonials

Dieppe Designs has helped us with two design jobs (one unit and one house) and couldn't be happier with the end result.

Mali Luty

Ed and Nora from Dieppe Design are a pleasure to work with, they are diligent, take care of their clients and the results s that their designs achieve are fantastic. Definitely worth having a chat if you are thinking about building.

Michael Panzarino (Malatesta)

Incredibly thankful to be put in touch with not only Ed, but all of the Dieppe Design team. From the outset, Ed has been instrumental in creating our dream home that has exceeded all expectations. Nothing has ever been a problem and the attention to detail is always perfect even within tight timeframes. We couldn't be happier with the whole process from start to finish.

Zach Ormaechea

Nothing but praise for Ed, Nora and the Dieppe team. Ed worked with us to create the best outcome possible for our recent renovation. From concept, through approval, tendering and project management, Ed was a pleasure to deal with and ensured the project was delivered on time and budget. (looks amazing too!)

Would have no reservation recommending Dieppe Design and hope to work with them again in the near future.

Martin Wood

After having discussions with several architects to undertake our major home renovation, we landed on Ed and Nora because we knew from the moment we met them they would be able to help us translate our vision into reality. Not only are they professional and easy going, they are truly passionate and get involved in every single stage and detail of the project. Importantly, they helped us navigate through speedbumps and were always 'on call' whenever an issue came up. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive and responsive team (including our builders, also recommended through Ed & Nora) particularly in circumstances where we had never done any home renovations before and weren't quite sure what to expect.

In our opinion, Ed & Nora are the perfect team to work with as they are able to compliment each other with their own skill sets. Ed has some great ideas and attention to detail and Nora's interior design concepts were absolutely spot on. We are so thrilled and couldn't be happier with the end result and would highly recommend Dieppe Design for any home renovation or interior design work.

We have completed a major renovation of our family home with Ed and Nora. It's been so much fun working with them. They are very professional, efficient and very nice to work with. They have wonderful design ideas, not only beautiful but also very practical. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

Ed and Nora have made this renovation a wonderful experience. I would no hesitation to do another project with them!

Connie Tao

I am very happy that you felt good about the house. Both Alex Yu of Arcadian and yourself have been a great help in getting my dream home built and I really enjoy staying in the house. The minimalist design gives the house a very clean look. With most the interior finished in white and a glass enclosed courtyard, the house is bright and cosy, I feel relax and happy everytime I walk into the house. The high ceiling of the living and master bedroom gives me an unrestricted feeling and a freer mind. The full height glass screen facing the natural reserve offer me a feeling that I am living in nature and it feels great. A 17 m long lap pool running along the house offer me an opportunity to exercise without leaving the house.

We completed a major renovation of our inner west cottage with Ed and Nora. We found them friendly, creative and responsive, from our initial meeting through to post completion. Ed listened to what we wanted. He offered us both practical and design ideas that were incorporated into the final design. They allowed us to be as involved in the process as we wanted. They partnered effectively with the builder to resolve on-site issues and were agile in managing the unforeseen challenges posed by the pandemic and lockdowns.

In terms of fixtures and interior materials Nora had a good network of contacts for suppliers and products. She provided us with knowledgeable guidance that took into account our tastes and budget. The end result is that we a home we love and that meets our needs. We have no hesitation in either working with them again or recommending them to others.
