Who We Are
The studio is known for being reassuring and approachable. We promise to listen carefully, lead confidently, and never pressure. We communicate clearly, explain decisions in plain language and make time for questions.
Architecture doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, and our job is to make the process feel clear, enjoyable, and exciting. There is no handover between big teams and you know exactly who you are dealing with from day one.
We emphasise intention, balance, and craftsmanship, taking pride in our well-considered details and spaces that feel personal, functional, and enduring. All of this is grounded in our belief that good design changes how people live. We seek subtle transformation, helping you see possibilities you couldn’t articulate for yourself.
Sophie Bishop is a Registered Architect with extensive experience in both residential and commercial design.
Trained in Germany, Switzerland, and New Zealand, a key focus in Sophie’s work is continuity of design, ensuring every decision, from layout to materials, contributes to a coherent whole. She pays close attention to proportion and detail, understanding that the simplest elements often have the biggest impact on how a space feels and operates.
Known for being approachable and attentive, Sophie listens carefully to her clients’ needs and supports them through every stage of the process, from the first idea to the completed project. She aims to make building or renovating straightforward and enjoyable, helping clients feel confident as their vision becomes reality.
Caragh Kennedy is an Architectural Designer and is passionate about architecture and how people live in their built environments and wider communities. She loves getting to know clients well and being involved in every stage of a project.
When she’s not designing, you’ll find her on the hockey field, where strategy, teamwork, and a good eye for space are just as important as in architecture.
“We absolutely love what Sophie came up with for us. She carefully listened to our varied and complex requirements and provided us with a range of solutions to consider - we ended up with something we are so happy with. We felt she really took the time to hear our thoughts, and provided such a wealth of knowledge to guide us. We're so excited for our new house!”
