Tina Lindner
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER/FOUNDER

For Tina Lindner, “Architecture for life” is something that grew out of a childhood passion for drawing houses. This early attention to design fundamentals would help lay the foundation for an accomplished career in building design.

After studying at the Footscray Institute of Architectural Drafting, Tina spent 11 years working at a then-small residential firm Piccolo, which would become a major residential developer within Victoria. Furthering her studies, Tina undertook an Interior Decorating course at RMIT. Drawing from a strong portfolio of successful projects and maintaining a reputation for delivering more than expected, Tina was motivated to establish her own firm and personal brand.

Since founding the company in 2003, Tina Lindner has taken on many roles within the business, overseeing every aspect from inception to completion. She relies on her keen eye for detail as Principal Designer, while her willingness and determination to go over and above ensures everyone is happy, serving as Client Liaison. Together this has resulted in strong relationships with clients that carry over long after the job is completed.

Her work has frequently been featured in industry publications such as Home Beautiful and Inside Out magazine. Some of her many accolades include winning the Masters Building Association’s award for ‘Best New Home Between $500k to $1M ‘ as well as ‘Best Renovation Over $1M’.

"I wanted to be a designer from an early age. I passionately embrace every project as individually as the next. I get extreme satisfaction working together with my clients and watching their delight in the evolution of their dreams."

Consultation
When meeting with a client for the first time, it’s important we establish a strong relationship. We make every effort to understand what goals and expectations they have going into a project. Everything including budget, materials, timelines and feasibility are discussed in detail to ensure we can deliver a result that meets clients’ needs.

Sketches
Preliminary sketches bring ideas to life, providing clients with a visualisation of what shape the project will take. This proofing process may require several rounds of amendments as the vision evolves and is developed further.

Presentation to Client
Designs receive further crafting and are presented to the client for approval, this includes all final materials and details. Once the client signs off, the project is ready for submission.

Council Applications
All necessary permits are organised and acquired from town planning. We handle this process smoothly and efficiently, having completed hundreds of similar applications for past projects.

Construction Documentation
Similar to council applications, all documentation necessary for builders is organised and acquired for project commencement and building permits.

Interior Design
Interior design is what brings the whole design together. There is a big focus on how the client lives and moves within their home. Each interior is custom to each client, with a unique 'Tina Lindner' style and design, with a focus on modern design, materials and sharp lines.
