About Us
Design Philosopy
Our lives are constantly in motion, defining our lifestyle and the spaces we live and work in. Kinetic Design Studio takes a personalized approach, allowing the Client’s lifestyles to inspire our design of dynamic, warm and functional spaces that comfortably adapt to your needs; now and in the future.
We value sitting down with our clients to unravel the core of what defines who they are, to understand how we can help them achieve their individual or collective building goals.
What we do
Creating your own home or a new building is a challenging but immensely rewarding journey. From concept to finished project we apply a mixture of analysis, creativity and problem solving to help your building dream become a reality.
Classrooms to toy rooms, cinemas to media rooms, townhouses to outhouses, board rooms to dining rooms, preschools to nurseries, offices to studies and cafes to kitchens. By drawing on our broad experience across many areas we take lessons learned and apply it to your specific project to achieve exceptional outcomes and architecture of the highest standard.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to inclusive collaboration and the ability to provide clear and effective communication. Listening, research and the communication of ideas, are key elements in this process.
