Location 196A Denison Road, Dulwich Hill CategoryCommercial About This Project Our own studio project is located in the original ‘Peter’s Shop’ – a classic corner convenience store. It is just around the corner from my home, where I had a studio that I previously worked out of. The old studio was a great space but being a ‘home occupation’ I was unable to employ someone to work in the office and working with contractors is a hit and miss affair. We also wanted to share our work with the community whilst allowing for improved work efficiency with the inclusion of space to run a separate business to our home. Our shopfront is floor to ceiling glass to engage with the community. Quite often we have childrens faces pressed up against the glass to see what is going on inside. I have a strong belief that work should be more visible as many in our community, especially the young, do not get a true sense of what adults actually do in their distant, segregated workspaces. At the same time we changed our trading name from Prentice Design to karmatecture to reflect our core belief that great design can enrich the soul and the community.

About This Project

Our own studio project is located in the original ‘Peter’s Shop’ – a classic corner convenience store.

It is just around the corner from my home, where I had a studio that I previously worked out of. The old studio was a great space but being a ‘home occupation’ I was unable to employ someone to work in the office and working with contractors is a hit and miss affair.

We also wanted to share our work with the community whilst allowing for improved work efficiency with the inclusion of space to run a separate business to our home.

Our shopfront is floor to ceiling glass to engage with the community. Quite often we have childrens faces pressed up against the glass to see what is going on inside. I have a strong belief that work should be more visible as many in our community, especially the young, do not get a true sense of what adults actually do in their distant, segregated workspaces.

At the same time we changed our trading name from Prentice Design to karmatecture to reflect our core belief that great design can enrich the soul and the community.

New shopfront, signage and interior fitout gave life to a much loved, but very rundown local shop.

Original shopfront had an inaccessible step, and rotten flooring. It had ceased to be a viable business enterprise due to the unhealthy condition of the building.

Initial 3-D, just using the render engine from Archicad, allowed for planning of spaces and sourcing of furniture to fit.

In the new studio, a great space to work. The green sofa made it from 3-D to reality, as well as the work by Kudditji Knagwarreye

Professional Reviews

“We engaged Greg for pre-purchase because we weren’t sure what was possible on the property or whether our budget would stretch far enough for the renovation we had in mind. Greg was highly responsive and quickly arranged to review our brief, budget and timeline. He even attended a midweek inspection and, within an hour, delivered a clear and detailed report covering planning controls, site constraints, Sydney Water impacts and a concept design tailored to us. Even though we didn’t end up buying the property, his guidance gave us clarity and the confidence to bid. We would recommend Greg to anyone requiring these services. He clearly knows his stuff and is passionate about delivering value for his clients.”
