Our Residential
Design Services
We believe that communication is vital to success
throughout each stage of every project, and especially at
the start. We invest a great deal of time listening to our
clients and understanding their needs and aspirations, the
way they like to live, what their priorities are, and then
focus on what we can add to this - things we’ve learned
through our training and experience that perhaps clients
haven’t considered and which may enhance their project.
It is not a matter of us imposing upon clients our “vision” or “style” of architecture, but rather understanding their needs and bringing something new and unique to the mix that will hopefully surprise and delight them.
We believe that collaboration and the free exchange of ideas is essential to achieving the best design outcomes. We have great respect for the contribution our consultants make to each project – builders, engineers, and all the trades involved. Each has a particular skill set and getting their creative input can add value to a project, often increasing cost efficiency and resulting in better design.
Our studio has developed close working relationships with several trusted landscapers, interior designers, artists and building and construction professionals who share our desire to provide high quality, personalised services for clients. We also have a strong network of professional relationships with other architects. These relationships are often a source of referral work, as well as a valuable source of knowledge and ideas.
- / Concept Designs
We produce schematic design options that respond to the challenges and opportunities of the brief.
Enquire - / Design Development
We develop and refine the preferred concept design until it is fully resolved and agreed with our client.
Enquire - / Design Documentation
We document the design in technical drawings and models (as required) to obtain planning approvals and competitive quotes from builders.
Enquire - / Planning & Construction Applications
We prepare and/or coordinate the documentation required by councils and/or certifiers to obtain planning and construction approvals.
Enquire - / Project Management
Depending on the scale and nature of a project, we may coordinate the trades and suppliers, or we may advise the client and work with their builder to deal with any design variations or unexpected issues that might arise during construction.

Experience & Qualifications:
Mary achieved a High Distinction average in her Bachelor of Design, and a Distinction average in her Master of Architecture courses at the University of Sydney. She was included in the Dean’s Honour Roll in 2010 and was chosen to be a student participant in the Glenn Murcutt Master Class in 2007.
In 2010 Mary participated as a construction volunteer in the architecture student project “EgresStudio’s 3 Houses at Pokolbin” (now known as The Long House, Pokolbin).
During and immediately following her studies, Mary worked for several architectural practices, both large and small, including Simpson + Wilson Architects, Eeles Trelease Architects, and HASSELL.
After being approached to take on several small to medium sized residential projects, Mary established her own practice with Arc Design Studio in 2012.
“Having my own studio allows me to be across every stage of the project and every element of the design, from the very beginning to the very end. My clients appreciate that they can always speak with me directly about any questions, ideas or concerns they have throughout the life of the project. It is an enormously satisfying way to practice design.”
