Design and Innovation
Our architecture is driven by our desire for exciting homes, pleasant living spaces, smart technology, and sustainable materials. Led by research-based experimentation, always with a focus on the pragmatic needs of our clients, we try to see every constraint as an opportunity to exploit in the creation of better buildings. We like spaces that are intimate yet open, occupied by shades of natural light, changing throughout the day and are activated by the emotive and sensorial qualities of materials.
Our values are centred on honesty, integrity and reliability. We offer a turnkey service that includes architecture, interiors, landscaping and contract administration. From the moment you approach us, we will guide you through all the steps of the building project.
Our Services
Architectural Design & Home Renovations
Our goal at Aqua Architects is to deliver innovative home design solutions creating the perfect form and function coalescence. We are committed to developing cleverly designed, distinctive homes that are not only cost-effective, but also anchored on quality craftsmanship.
CDC Council Approvals
For simple developments, a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) combines planning and construction clearances. The function of this certificate is to provide confidence that all applicable legislation and construction requirements will be met. Having to apply for one is not only a huge hassle, but it is also very time consuming.
So when it comes to renovating or building a new house, we will take on the task of having all the necessary permits signed and approved for you.
Home Interior Design
Redesign and wake your home up with beautifully curated spaces for the entire family. There is nothing better than breathing new life into your home with furnitures and fixtures that add value and sophistication.
We pride ourselves of our warm and approachable service. No matter how big or small your project is, trust that we will pour into it all our wisdom and expertise. Our goal is simple – to create homes and living spaces that spark joy and life.
Project Management
Building and renovation projects are tiresome and draining. They take more than your time and resources. And what makes it even more stressful is having to coordinate with a lot of people who seem to be needing you at the same time.
This is where we come in. Our project management service will enable you to only have one point of contact from beginning to end.
Our project management team holds a vital role in the successful implementation and completion of your project. They will oversee all aspects of the project – from the initial stages to the actual construction and beyond.
