Founded by Daniel Rafter after significant experience working within the design and construction of a range of Commercial, Health & high end Residential Architectural projects across Melbourne, Geelong & Regional Victoria.

Proudly based in Geelong we bring extensive expertise in all phases of architectural project delivery, from initial concept design through to site delivery. A focus on both design and delivery of projects with both a flair for architectural design and sensibility in construction ensuring projects are completed to meet both time and budget constraints.

Through collaboration and coordination with consultants I take pride in delivering projects with clear and accurate documents ensuring efficiency on site, allowing projects to reach their full potential without compromising their design intent.

Throughout the design phases which are outlined below, we use a client centric approach to collaborate closely with you to ensure the design meets the project needs, producing high quality architectural outcomes.
