Our brief for this project was to modify and complete the architectural and interior design of a partially constructed house designed by others.

Our brave client purchased the site with the structure and enclosure work mostly complete, but with fundamental space planning issues remaining unresolved. BMA were able to identify design opportunities that better connected the house with its spectacular environment, working within the constraints of the existing construction to rescue and complete the design.

The completed design celebrates the way Australians live, focusing on generous daylight, fresh air, blurred boundaries between inside and outside living spaces, and materials that weather quietly into the landscape. BMA worked closely with consultants, authorities, the builder and our client to navigate a path through a complex approval and certification process, delivering a timeless and contemporary sanctuary for our client to enjoy.

About the
Professional

Our architecture is about simple things executed beautifully. While our buildings may look different to each other, they all embody the same principles of sensual experience, sustainability, honesty of materials, construction credibility and distinction.

We are positive, responsive, and easy to work with. We gauge success by consistently developing successful ongoing relationships with those involved in our projects. We understand that an important part of our role is leading, motivating and igniting a sense of ownership across the design team. Experience has taught us that best results are achieved when all stakeholder contexts are aligned, communication is open and clear, expert input is integrated accurately, and mutual respect is won.

There is little room for ego at BMA. Our design process is genuinely collaborative, with Project Directors engaging with our broadly skilled and experienced team of 15 staff to deliver richly diverse and unique projects every time.

We also actively promote working in a collaborative environment with our clients, authorities, consultants, builders, suppliers and other team members to arrive at are fined, efficient and beautiful result.

We value not only innovative and inspirational design at a project’s inception, but rigour, clarity and accuracy during our design development, documentation, tender and construction processes.

We are skilled in the art of balancing aspirations and pragmatics, and consider cost, programme and build ability integral to the design development process. We test our design decisions against these parameters regularly and actively promote the same within the design team.

We are successfully engaged in a broad range of project types and scales, including houses, urban housing, commercial and industrial projects, and resort hospitality.

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.
