Hi, we're Peter and Irene.
Good Architectural design doesn't just belong to those who can most afford to commission an Architect and with this belief, Irene and I constantly strive to deliver a friendly, low-cost professional service, more than competitive with your local drafting shop down the street.

We place all our clients in a position where they have real control and choices.  
Clients can have their homes Builder built, Subcontract out, or tackle their project as an Owner Builder.  Our own hands-on building experience enables us to easily relate to the needs and concerns of the budget limited, as well as those more financially flexible, but regardless,our fees are very low.

We well understand the Building industry and fully appreciate how difficult it can be, for some people to make truly informed decisions, when constantly surrounded by a world of Hype and vested interest.  This is why we offer Free Building and Design advice.

Without vested interest, we offer practical advice on the selection of Building Materials, Construction Methods, searching for suitable land to build on, as well as helping people decide between becoming an Owner Builder or employing a Builder or Sub Contractors.

Irene and I are not new chums to the Industry. Three times we've had unsolicited Prime Time Television exposure, have presented on Radio programs, been featured in many magazines and newspapers, and have exhibited at countless Home and Trade Exhibitions.

Registered as a qualified Architect for over 3 decades, I have also had considerable hands-on building experience.

Irene's background started in Nursing, then Teaching, where she also devoted many years to volunteer work, getting kids including those disabled, involved in outdoor activities such as skiing, cycling, bushwalking, and climbing. 
Her communication skills now motivate people to see all sorts of exciting building possibilities 'outside the square'.

Design is our main business and as much as we love building, we no longer build for others, but the last home we built cost us only $11,000 (that's right - $11,000 in materials), the rest was our effort.  We also built an ocean-going yacht that frequently sails Bass Strait. Building boats makes house building seem a 'piece of cake', but the point to be made is, we are ordinary people ready to have a go at most things and who enjoy interacting with people about their dreams.

We are the 'People's Architect', who have secured many Professionals, more than capable of designing their own homes.

Have we won any awards?  No.  Are we likely to? No - we are the most un-awarded Architects you're ever likely to meet! The only thing that matters is that clients who make us their Architect, reap their reward.

The start and first link to our service is the purchase of our Plans Book; the key to a cheaper and more efficient design.
