At Archetype Studios we're a little different from other firms because we specialise in home design - and that's all we do! 

We love creating homes that are uniquely tailored to suit your family's exact needs. We will help you to create a home that you will love, a home that will continue to suit you as your family grows, a home full light and space, with a functional and spacious kitchen and modern bathrooms, with all the private and communal spaces that you need, a home that is open to the outdoors - the home that is precisely perfect you and your family.

Our practice is based in Sydney and we’ve been specialising in designing homes in the Metropolitan Sydney area for over 25 years, which means we are very experienced, and we still love what we do! 

At Archetype Studios we have developed a home designing process that is unique to our practice, where we focus specifically on your individual needs and desires for your new home and then craft these into a high-functioning home that you will love to live in. Our practice-specific process also means that you can achieve your perfect home in the shortest possible time-frame.  

We Focus on Communication

We focus on high quality communication. We make sure that you fully understand what is happening and when it's happening, you know exactly what we will do - and are doing - for you and what you need to do at every stage of the design, applications, documentation, tendering, contracting and construction phases.

we USE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

And we use computer programs like Vectorworks so that we can create 3D images to help you to fully understand your home design before it's built. This makes the design process intuitive, and this technology (sometimes referred to as BIM: building information modelling) allows us to virtually prototype your project before we build it. This makes the tendering process more accurate,  construction far easier, and also eliminates some of the mistakes that happen with old-school pen and paper drawings. All this makes for a better and more economical project for you. ​​

we listen to you

​Your project should reflect your priorities and accordingly our design process begins by listening – listening to you, to your site, and looking at your existing home, your budget, your tastes and lifestyle. We catalogue your habits and preferences, your likes and dislikes.  This way the design solutions are based on what’s important to you and to your family, and as a result your new home will exactly suit your needs.

WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM

​We work with a carefully selected group of specialist architects, building designers, interior designers, landscape designers, draftspersons, structural and civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, quantity surveyors, specialist designers, technical consultants, surveyors, planners, certifiers, landscapers, builders and artisans to ensure your finished space is of exceptional quality.

We offer unlimited free 3d drawings of your design

One of the major differences you will experience when working with Archetype Building Design Studios on your home design is the quality and the quantity of 3D Drawings that you will see of your home during the design process. Standard 2D architectural drawings are not really helpful when making design decisions. To solve this problem we offer you an unlimited number of 3D Drawings to give you more confidence with every design decision.
