The Design Paddock

It is such a joy for us, Katrina and Millie, to share our passion for design with you. We hope to create spaces that are a true reflection of you, the places you’ve travelled and perhaps the memories and occasions you’ve shared through beautifully detailed interiors, firmly rooted in purpose and longevity. 

We like to take on a fully immersive approach - from designing the architecture through to specifying soft furnishings, to dramatically change the way you feel and approach day-to-day life.

Initial Consultation

Before signing on with your design team; we conduct a meeting with you over video or phone to discuss the brief & scope for the project.

Architectural Review

Our team’s architectural review services are tailored to the stage you are at with your home build.

For new builds not yet under construction - we offer a thorough review with recommendations for your architect / draftsman. It is your responsibility, in collaboration with them, that the final designs are compliant with local regulations. For existing homes - we provide valuable suggestions for you to review with your architect / draftsman to ensure all local build requirements are met.

Concept Design
