We recently had the pleasure of attending the handover of our Clayfield renovation project to some special clients. The team at @ did a fantastic job bringing our vision to life, adding their own touches to ensure all the intricate details complement the existing style of the original home.

We have been truly blessed to be trusted by some amazing clients to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime rural retreat in Ganthorpe. This sprawling estate spans over 600 square meters of internal floor area and relies on textured brick surfaces and unique building forms to create a dramatic impact. 🏡✨

You often see the 3D imageries on our socials, but one crucial aspect that often gets overlooked is the importance of high-quality drawings in communicating our design work. While we rarely share these, they are, in fact, the most vital part of what we do.
At BDA, we take this part of our work very seriously. Our drawings serve as essential communication tools, ensuring clarity for clients, builders, and authorities. The conciseness and accuracy of these drawings are paramount. We are meticulous with our drawing process; before anything leaves the office, it goes through numerous checks by our design staff to ensure it meets the highest standards. 🏡✨

We were stoked to receive these photos from a very happy client following the completion of this new pool house structure in Windsor!
The primary purpose of this design was to offer shade to an existing balcony while also visually screening a disproportionately large building at the rear boundary. The roof and battens have been angled perfectly to block the view of the home behind while still allowing filtered sunlight into the space.
