Built for the decade, and every year in it. Interiors resolved in material before form: stone, timber and light, chosen for how they age.

A practice built on material knowledge.

We start with materials rather than mood. What a room is made of determines how it ages, how it sounds, and whether anyone wants to sit in it in ten years. Most of our decisions get made holding a sample, not looking at a render.

Six people. Eight projects a year. Thea writes every specification herself.

How we work

Three ways in, depending on how far along you already are. Every one of them starts with the same conversation about materials.

Testimonials

She spent the first month doing almost nothing visible — moving one wall, changing three doorways. It's the only renovation I've been through where the finished thing felt inevitable.

Marcus Hale

Homeowner · Carlton North · 2022

We asked for a floor that could take sixty people and still feel quiet. What came back was a materials list before a single drawing, which told us everything about how they work.

Priya Raman

Operations Director · Flinders Lane · 2023

Three summers in and the timber has gone exactly where she said it would. Nobody else we spoke to would commit to how a finish ages. She put it in writing.
