A  subtle transition between architecture and garden with floating stone and cosy details.
The entry corridor opens into a calm soft palette as gentle light draws you into the heart of the home.

Built-in bar and coffee nook with backlit shelving and custom joinery – designed to elevate daily rituals, morning and night.

Full-height entry to Bulters Pantry and Laundry with custom door, cabinetry, and open shelving.
Custom steele sliding door with fluted glass inserts to seperate the two spaces while allowing diffused light through.
Moody lighting in the butler’s pantry creates a grounded, calming atmosphere for quiet daily moments.
Natural access to the backyard via the laundry hallway – a soft, light-filled transition between indoors and out.
A playful pause at the threshold, where Travertine tiles bridge the warmth of timber flooring with the quiet simplicity of solid-toned finishes.

Jake Davis

Jake is a registered Architect with 10+ years of industry experience.

Jake loves designing spaces as much as he loves getting to know the people he’s designing them for. With a highly collaborative process amongst flowing conversations, he works with you to create the space you’ve been searching for. 

Kate McGough

Kate is not an architect.

Sadly, she cannot help you design your building. What she does do is assist Jake in all things branding and design (the graphic kind) — art directing, document designing, content-creating, and making Place of Space look as good as the service is.
