We are a client orientated practice where each design evolves from working closely with the client to understand their individual brief and aspiration; with the end result being a tailored personalised design. Residential architectural design that is uniquely you Every design should evolve out of a collaborative design process. Whether your project is a new build, extension, or renovation my goal is to design a home that you love to spend time in. My residential designs draw on the beauty of our natural environment with simple, light filled spaces that are functional, comfortable and sophisticated.

About Jane Cameron Finlay ARBV RAIA Architecture has always been part of my life, in one form or another. Growing up on a farm in rural Victoria, I was mesmerised by local public buildings and homesteads. My childhood sense of space combined with my love of drawing, Lego and sandpits naturally led me to a career in architecture. My curiosity drew me to Europe to explore new culture, modern and classical architecture. The experience redefined my design response to how we live and work. I am still fascinated how design and architecture influences the way we feel and interact with the spaces around us. I love Scandinavian design. Use of natural materials and light with a connection to nature creates serene, elegant spaces. My designs are informed by traditional European architecture with its symmetry, strength and timelessness. I adore contemporary Japanese residential architecture for its creative use of space and sculptural forms. The result is finely crafted spaces that appeal to the senses and transcend time.
