We understand people live and work in different ways – and need spaces that suit their lifestyle. Our bespoke designs are created for you, designed to their surrounds.
Bower Street Studio is a boutique building design practice with a passion for designing beautiful, bespoke homes for our clients that embrace comfort, functionality, and sustainability. We want to make your home a joyful space for you to be – one that creates feelings of happiness and contentment for years to come.
To achieve this - we recognise each site is as individual as the lifestyle and dreams of our clients who will live there. This drives our design process, to create environmentally responsive spaces that work for the way you live.
We work closely with each client to understand their unique hopes and priorities, to design their home to suit their lifestyle, site and budget.
Our Services
-
If you’re starting with a clear site or planning a knock-down-rebuild, we can design your home from the ground up. We design one-off custom homes, specific to our individual clients. Our designs are led by passive-solar principals that work for your site – not someone else’s.
-
Love the home you’re in, but need it to work a bit harder for you? Perhaps you need more space, light, extra rooms, a new kitchen or more storage? We design all types of renovations, extensions, and second-story additions. We’ll look at where the opportunities to re-imagines your existing space into something special, allowing you to enjoy it for many years into the future.
-
We take the stress out of the approvals process and manage this process so you don’t have to. If you’ve had plans prepared independently or part drawn with approvals left to you, we can help. We know how Local Councils work and what they need to assess your plans. We will collate all documentation, refer to required planning policy, and consult with the relevant experts to have your submission made and assessed as smoothly as possible.
-
We produce construction documents for all of our projects, however if you’ve had plans prepared and/or approved and now require building permit drawings, we can prepare the information your builder actually needs to get your project built.
-
Unsure which direction to head with your building plans, and not sure where to find help? We offer all types of design consultation. We can help you weigh up your renovate or rebuild decision; review existing plans to help identify missed opportunities, cost savings, tweaks, or amendments for DA. Or maybe you’ve found a block to buy and build on, but you want to understand the constraints - we can help.
Kara’s knowledge of space, light, and livability enabled us to create a home that not only has some beautiful wow factors, but is very comfortable and exceptionally considered. Every part of the design process with her was a pleasure.”
