About
For Home Owners
Damien is a renowned architectural home designer with 15 years of experience not only in building design, but also hands-on project management and site supervision. This extensive experience is reflective in his innovative designs, ensuring that each individual design meets clients' requirements and budget, while taking into consideration the environmental aspects of the land.
As well as detailed, easy-to-read plans, each design is finished with high resolution 3D internal and external renders, and walk-through videos, so owners can visualise their home throughout before starting the build. Detailed Specifications and Inclusions are also provided for obtaining accurate builder quotes.
For Builders
When it comes to selling homes, presentation is everything. Using the latest drafting, BIM and rendering programs, builders can now offer their clients a level of service previously reserved for large-scale architectural and development companies.
Beyond design, Damien's extensive experience in the building process extends into business development, assisting builders in reducing build costs, increasing quality, and improving the design and approvals process, resulting in improved efficiencies.
