We are an innovative firm based in Melbourne and Sydney specalising in the design and delivery of diverse projects across multiple sectors. Our main focus is in the Residential Sector, from bespoke small-scale extensions to large-scale multi-residential and mixed-use developments. We also bring creative solutions to commercial, fitout, and educational projects.​
OUR DESIGNS ARE NEVER PRECONCEIVED
​Our approach involves collaborating closely with clients to create unique and tailored design solutions that meet the specific needs of each project
Our service enables you to collaborate directly with Ophelia, our Founder and Registered Architect, throughout the entire process; from design and coordination to 3D exploration, documentation, and collaboration. We will personally manage all aspects. ​We aim to create architectural works of art that foster an ongoing collaborative relationship with clients.
Architecture should extend beyond the building—it encompasses the landscape, the users within the space, and the broader environment. It should also enable occupants to connect with a building both physically and emotionally; it starts with understanding each client on an deeper level to get the fundamentals right through carefully considered floor plan.
Not everyone has the luxury of going through the full design and building process, which is why it's so important to find an architectural team you genuinely connect with and trust. It’s one of those journeys where you want to do it once, and do it right, leave no regrates that you will ponder on daily!

Ophelia Tham is a Registered Architect in both New South Wales and Victoria, with over 14 years of experience in the residential sector. As one of the youngest Architects in Australia to gain registration (at 24yo), she has worked alongside some of the most dedicated architectural professionals in NSW and VIC.
Her career began with residential heritage projects in Sydney's Inner West, Eastern Subrubs and Lower North Shore, before transitioning to developer-focused work across Sydney and Melbourne. She led a team of Architects, interior designers, and engineers in producing multi-residential and award-winning mixed-use projects (finalist in World Architecture Festival).
These days, Ophelia runs her boutique, home-based studio while (str)juggling the beautiful chaos of raising her 3 kids (ages 6, 4, and 20 months) with no family support nearby. She knows firsthand what it means to create a home that not only looks great but actually works; having to work and live in it every day! Renovating her heritage home to suit the needs of her growing, active family (with a husband from a finance background keeping those budget expectations real!) is one of her hardest challenges yet. Through it all, she’s constantly exploring new ways to design spaces that strike the right balance between form, function and affordability with any architectural typologies given to her.
Beyond architecture, Ophelia also runs an online hobby business, Living Etch, where they specialises in custom personalised décor, gifts, and keepsakes to add that unique touch to home design. Her unwavering commitment and passion make her an invaluable asset to every project she takes on.
