MFA Studio

Every project, regardless of scale, typology, or budget, deserves the same rigour of thought in the design process, to establish and determine the most appropriate solutions to spatial problems.
Often, the most challenging spatial problems are the ones which present themselves as just that - a problem of limited physical space. However, by the same token, the most rewarding outcomes are often the ones that have presented as the most spatially challenged, when doing more with less has proven that a creative solution is far greater than the sum of its parts. This project for us, is one of those.

About the
Professional

First and foremost - we're here to help you.

We see every project as an opportunity to change people’s lives for the better. Whether that be by:  creating a home as a haven where the family feels safe, secure, and connected;  a small handcrafted detail which generates a smile in a stress filled day; or an interesting spatial configuration which makes life just that little bit more enjoyable.

Each building, interior, hardscape, or object presents its own challenges, and necessitates a specific and carefully considered individualised response, to produce a high quality outcome specifically, and beautifully designed for context and purpose, regardless of typology, scale, or budget.

Our practice was established in 2006, as a multidimensional design studio, and our values are underwritten by the intention to deliver works of a refined and crafted nature.  We’ve won a number of awards over the years for what we do, and our small team strives to exceed client expectations by challenging common responses and standard practices through the innovative manipulation of materials, techniques, light, and space.

We love getting engrossed and involved in design challenges, and enjoy the process of collaborating with all parties involved, to carry a strong initial concept and common goal through an enjoyable and memorable process, to realisation.

We do what we love; we love what we do; and we’d love to show you.

We're out to save the world; one home at a time.
