Design Tip Day 👍
By introducing a variety of seating options, textures & shades, you create an inviting space which instantly puts your guests at ease.
This lounge area is a perfect example of this and has been beautifully finished with exquisite lighting and rug details
Here is a little inside information ...
Our architects love going on site!
When construction starts on a new design, our architects visit the site at least once a week, sometimes more often.
They talk with the client, the builder, the joiner, the tiler, the landscaper... communication becomes critical and any variations are dealt with swiftly to ensures the project keeps tracking along, to plan and to budget.
It is always great to see a design become a reality 🙌
The most serene dining setting is found right here along with views for days over our spectacular harbour.
When you are looking for that perfect pendant which does not compete with the view, look no further than this stunner by @flos. A custom made table by @thewoodroom and seating by @boconcept complete the setting.
Enjoy your meal 👌
Check out this incredible roofline 🙌🙌
To encourage natural light throughout this south-facing home, we created a vaulted skylight roofline. The end result is spectacular and we love the curved element at play here, complemented by a beautiful 'ballerina wire sculpture' sourced through @lumuinteriors.
We love using screens to create zones and nooks in open plan living areas. They create a level of privacy and intimacy to the space.

Corben Architects has started a work-from-home arrangement as of this week, with office attendance kept to a minimum. It is still business as usual and we look forward to working with our clients and suppliers on projects during this time. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us. Stay safe 😊
Built over a natural watercourse on an environmentally sensitive site this new residence presented a unique set of challenges. Not only did the site require an original and inspiring design solution, it required a team of consultants with specialised expertise to get the necessary approvals over the line. The end result is stunning!
