Services
Design it with us. Build it with us. Or both.
We're a building design studio with an architect in-house and a licensed builder on the same team — BLD 299999. That means you can come to us for the drawings alone, or hand us the whole job.
Why full service
Nobody to point at but us.
On most projects the designer hands over a set of drawings and walks away. Anything the drawings didn't answer becomes a variation, and you're the one standing between a designer who says it was drawn correctly and a builder who says it can't be built that way. We do both jobs, so that gap doesn't exist.
It also changes how we draw. When you know your own team has to build from a detail, you detail it properly the first time.

In-house architect
Architectural design, without the handover.
Isaac McNicol, our Design Manager, is an architect and works in-house on Lumea projects. You get architectural thinking on your site and your brief, tested against buildability by the people who may end up constructing it — in the same room, in the same week.
Meet the team →Two ways to work with us
Start where it suits you.
Both paths begin with the same free consultation. You don't have to decide today.
Path one
Design
We design your home or renovation and document it properly — concepts, working drawings, council approval. The plans are yours.
Best if you already have a builder, or want to tender the job and compare real quotes.
Path two
Design & build
We design it, get it approved, then build it. One team, one contract, one point of contact from the first sketch to the keys.
Best if you'd rather not project-manage the gap between the drawings and the site.
Everything we do
From a first sketch to the keys in your hand.
Take the whole list or any part of it — most clients start with one stage and add the next when they're ready.
Consultation
We listen to your brief, your site and your budget before anything is drawn. Free, no obligation.
Concept & Design
Concepts you can react to — designed around how you actually live, not a template plan.
Drafting & Approvals
Full working drawings, prepared and lodged through the PlanSA portal on your behalf.
Interior Design & Selections
Finishes, fixtures and selections coordinated to suit the design and the budget.
Construction Specification & Tender
A detailed spec so every builder quotes the same scope, and you compare like for like.
Design & Construction Partner
Keep your own builder — we stay on through construction and track the build against the drawings.
Construction
New homes built by the team that designed them, or from another designer's documentation.
Renovations & Extensions
Adding to or reworking an existing home, so the new work sits right with what's already there.
Commercial
Fitouts and commercial projects, documented and delivered to the same standard.
Process
Four steps, one point of contact.
Identical for both paths until the last step — that's where you decide who builds it.
- Step 01
Consult
We listen to your brief, budget and site. Free and no obligation.
- Step 02
Design
Concepts that are practical and beautiful, refined with you.
- Step 03
Document & approve
Working drawings, lodged with council through PlanSA.
- Step 04
Build
We construct it, or you hand the plans to the builder you choose.
