  • A Dutch interior designer, Meike brings a unique perspective to her projects in Australia. Drawing on her vast experience in Europe, she excels at creating visually appealing spaces that are practical and respond to clients' needs.

    Meike’s design philosophy is heavily focused on natural textures and emphasising the concept of balance. She believes this brings an atmosphere of harmony to occupants, creating a luxurious experience that goes beyond aesthetics.

At the heart of our work are values of authenticity, care, and integrity. We believe in designing with purpose, creating homes that are not only beautiful, but genuinely meaningful to the people who live in them. Collaboration and trust are central to our process, and we’re committed to listening closely, working with empathy, and delivering thoughtful, well-crafted spaces. 

As a family-run architecture and design studio in Sydney, we also bring a strong sense of responsibility and pride in everything we create.

Deeply Personalised Design

Every project is uniquely crafted through a deep understanding of each client’s lifestyle, taste, and aspirations. This will result in a home that genuinely feels like their own.

Seamless Integration of Architecture and Interiors

With both disciplines handled under one roof, we ensure a cohesive, well-resolved design that flows harmoniously from inside to outside, from structure to detail.
