ARCHITECTURE FROM THE INSIDE OUT

About us

At Smart Design Studio our architecture is inspired by pure Modernism, but believe not that “form follows function” so much as “form has a function.” Our forty-five plus team all design with rigour, but we find that applying layers of significance, embedding hidden meaning and building up surface texture adds poetry to the finished design, be that of a multi-storey building or the interior of a private home. While we have a recognisable signature, each new project presents a new set of opportunities to make the most of the site in question and harness them to the personalities and requirements of our clients. To achieve this, we work from the macro to the micro, from the entirety of the overall structure, right down to the hinges on doors, millimetre-precise joinery or the colours on bedroom walls. Our role is to provide a unique solution that responds to our clients’ vision of their interior. From the exterior, we believe buildings have a duty to contribute positively to the public domain and have a responsibility to respect the environment in which they sit, both in an immediate visual sense and with regard to sustainability, in its broadest, most nuanced understanding. We accomplish this by employing the latest technology, coupling that with the art of light, outlook, interior well-being and the craft of building. Buildings are best when they work effortlessly for the passerby and are at the same time intensely engaging to their occupants: we aspire to create both. In essence, the Philosophy of Smart Design Studio’s architecture can be summed up in three words: Excellence. Innovation. Collaboration This demonstrates a dedication to design and construction quality that significantly exceeds industry standards, fueled by an unyielding drive to push boundaries, inventing new solutions, and embracing cutting-edge technology. This dedication extends not only within the studio but also to collaboration with builders, consultants, approval authorities, and,

    We’re proud to announce that The Walsh Group Construction Pty Ltd took home two awards at the 2025 Master Builders Association of New South Wales Excellence in Construction Awards over the weekend.   Best Adaptive Re-use: Bundarra, designed by Smart Design Studio A truly special project, Bundarra combines a striking new curvilinear base build with the revitalisation of a heritage terrace house. The result is a bold and seamless blend of old and new, delivered through meticulous craftsmanship and design excellence. It was a pleasure collaborating with Smart Design Studio to help bring this new cultural landmark to life in the heart of Surry Hills. Best Interior Fit outs ($7–8 Million): The Commons, designed by Foolscap Studio This commercial co-working hub allowed us to showcase a diverse range of construction techniques and high-end finishes across a variety of workspaces. A highly collaborative project that reflects our team’s versatility, attention to detail, and commitment to quality.   Thank you to Milligan Group and everyone involved in delivering these award-winning projects! #MBAAwards #ExcellenceInConstruction #TheWalshGroup #Bundarra #TheCommons #SmartDesignStudio #Foolscap #MilliganGroup
