We think good design should be for everyone.  Just getting the basics right can have a huge impact on how your space feels + functions.

This is why we devised our margo go! architectural kickstart service. margo go! is suitable for all projects of all shapes + sizes, making architecture more accessible for all.  We also provide interior design services for existing spaces.​​​

​

​collaborative​

​​Your project is about you, not us.  We see the design process as an ongoing, evolving conversation with our clients.  We listen + adapt our approach to suit your project.  The best outcomes result from strong collaboration between us + with builders + others.​

​

experience + knowledge​

​​​We have decades of experience in bringing built projects to life. This inevitably requires thoughtful design, navigating tricky regulations + complex problem solving.  Every project has its own complexities, + we bring strategic design thinking, pragmatism + experience to each.

care

​​​​​​We understand how important your project is to you.  We appreciate that building is a complex + often overwhelming process.  We work hard to provide support + guidance throughout the process + to help you achieve the best possible outcomes within your budget.

​

sustainability​

The environmental impacts of the construction process, as well as the building’s future use, always underlie our thinking. Where possible, we try to repurpose/reuse/reconfigure, so that we design/demolish/build less.  Longevity is important, so we want our projects to be flexible, adaptable + robust.​​​

​

integrated design​

​We are both architects + interior designers, which means we think + design holistically.  Spatial considerations, functionality, passive design principles, structure, construction methodology, materials + interior finishes are all interrelated + considered at each step of the process.

responsive design​

​Our design process is a response to the particular existing conditions, brief + other aspects of your project, rather than any pre-conceived style or agenda, making sure the outcome is uniquely reflective of its inhabitants + place.​

design for real life

​A photograph is one thing, but what really matters is how a building or space feels + functions long after the photo is taken.  We want our work to provide functional + joyful settings for everyday life.  Above all else, we believe good design is about getting the fundamentals right.
