Figgoscope is an Melbourne based bespoke studio that celebrates elegant, simple, comfortable and durable designs. Our refined palette of natural materials and textures, create timeless, well crafted architecture and interiors that become a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of 21st-century modern life. THE PRACTICE We focus our work on heritage buildings and areas. With our building design experience and insight we can help you on the renovation, extension or furnishing of your property. Our designs enhance the inherent character of the architecture and location, sympathetically and imperceptibly blending a more modern and practical vision with the original historical context. FIGGOSCOPE has a mutual appreciation for the old and the new. We aim to alter heritage-sensitive spaces and seek to highlight existing features. From site management to delivering first sketches of room layouts including joinery/cabinetry design, product selections and final styling touches, we work in consistent consultation with the client. We suggest paint colours, window and floor coverings, furniture, art-work and decorative objects that will create dynamic and bold spaces which are tactile and intimate. OUR PHILOSOPHY FIGGOSCOPE creates a space that is a pleasant and peaceful place for daily life - a refuge, or a working sanctuary. We think of the house as a well balanced relationship between each space and the exterior/interior. A house is the sum of all it's spaces and should exist in harmony. FIGGOSCOPE's designs aim to infuse light in to each space. Light is what brings architecture to life; it casts shadows, it gives depth and creates contrast. Using reflections, shadow and light, we can alter the perception of scale and create interesting illusions. Light is a material that can be shaped and controlled and is extremely important in creating a serene environment. Light animates materials and colours. At FIGGOSCOPE we want to bring you as much natural light as possible to your space and can work with artificial light to create a bright, calm, cosy and warm space. We aim to increase the value of your property with a renovation or re-fit of simple designs and natural reclaimed and/or sustainable materials, including the display of your contemporary art and craft pieces and/or the selection of new items. We work closely with local artists, designers and industrial designers for unique, bespoke product development. Each project is the result of fresh and exciting ideas developed in consultation with our clients. Our designs are driven by our own unique interpretation of the client's needs, desires and lifestyle and with careful thought to incorporate their favourite objects and possessions. By understanding our client’s aspirations, our aim is to bring warmth and functionality to the living environment. WHAT WE PROVIDE Figgoscope provides full-services within interior and architectural design. Interior design is an integral part to architecture and the two should be designed holistically, enhancing the everyday experience of the inhabitant of the space. We aim to oversee the project from concept design and construction to decoration and art installation. Our services extend well beyond producing a set of drawings or styling your space - we can handle the paperwork, deliver value for money and bring imagination and peace of mind to your project, whilst keeping it on track and on budget.
