“We see the home as a blend of both environmental and built forms, thus all elements need to create a seamless indoor/outdoor harmony that adds to the enjoyment of living in the space”.

By offering a holistic design and build service, we steamline the process from concept to completion. Our continuity of management and oversight throughout all stages maximizes control of each project from cost, timing and quality perspectives.
An ongoing collaboration between our design and build teams ensures buildability and cost effectiveness through the joint assessment of alternatives and the application of value management principles. It also facilitates communication and the flow of ideas between those responsible for the creation of the design and those who bring it to life.
With a clear focus and understanding of the nature and influential factors of the location, we interpret clients’ thoughts and ideas in order to maximize the potential of the design created. We combine well considered design elements to achieve the individual look, functionality and lifestyle desired, taking customisation to another level. With experience across a range of architectural styles – contemporary, period, classic 60’s – our attention to detail is evident in the use of materials, fixtures and finishes that help create the overall style.
We believe in building a strong and open working relationship with our clients by keeping them informed and involved throughout each stage with the goal of making the experience a rewarding and enjoyable one. Personalised guidance and options are provided throughout the lifecycle of each project which assists with the decision making process.
Capitalising on the latest in design technology, Classic Projects Designs utilizes 3D modelling to bring design concepts to life, providing much greater visualisation, understanding of the layout, spaces and connections and exploration of alternatives than traditional 2D drawings.
Our design services include sketch design, design development, town planning (if required), interior design and construction drawings. Clients are consulted and involved in each stage of the exciting evolution.
