Tolga Bay Residence banner

This new build was architecturally designed to be sympathetic and welcoming to the dramatic coastline it was built on. The owner's brief was for a modern ‘doc hut’, a weekend retreat that embraced the simplicity of materials and living off a doc hut, but that was warm and welcoming. The resulting interiors were designed to not compete with the colours and drama of the environment outside but to provide a warm cave from which to view it. A combination of timber finishes was used throughout to create this aesthetic.

About the
Professional

at.space's ethos is that design is more than just pure creativity - it is considered, functional, and precise, as well as beautiful. We create spaces to live in, not just to admire, and our clients are at the centre of this process.  

at.space was launched in 2019 by Alex McLeod and Tomi Williams. Working alongside each other as friends and colleagues for 8 years, we have realised the greatness of two minds over one, when creating beautiful spaces that work and matter for our clients. Combining forces was an opportunity for us to grow and continue to provide well-considered and debated design solutions. Or simply put; more depth, more capacity, more creativity and double the passion, for every project we touch." 

Our experience designing interior spaces for large-scale renovations, new builds and commercial spaces spans over 20 years. Our growing team includes Kirsty Coultier (Studio Project Manager), Tori Gibbs and Victoria Gaylard (Project Support and CAD team). 

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.
