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

About the
Professional

We work with you to design the places where you live, work and play.

We listen to your ideas, visions and dreams and work with you to achieve them.

The process of dealing with councils can be daunting. We have over twenty years of experience running a design practice in Sydney and have in that time dealt with most Councils and experience a wide range of project types and challenges.

Our clients come to us looking for solutions to projects in residential, commercial and industrial categories. Heritage is a large part of working in the more established areas of Sydney.

Our projects have been featured in media including print and television, including Grand Designs Australia and work with Selling in the City.

Our name reflects that the process and production of our built environment brings with it a responsibility to be an agent of positive change. Benefits should be felt and experienced not only by our clients, but also for all others impacted by it. This is especially true in regards to our use of resources during construction, and the long term consumption of resources.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
