Smac Studio is an award-winning interior architecture firm featured in local and global publications, including AD, Elle Decor and Vogue Living.

A one-stop shop for your new build or renovation, Smac Studio can smoothly guide your project from concept to completion. We take care of every detail, from engaging builders to organising site deliveries, so you can relax and enjoy creating your home.

Blending old fashioned creativity with new tech, at the concept stage we hand-sketch original ideas for each room of your house. Our drawings are then transposed into 3D renders you can walk through using VR goggles. This allows us to clearly communicate our design vision, and you to accurately visualise your home with a true sense of scale.

Registered as Class One and Class Two building practitioners, our team can reconfigure floor plans and move walls to create beautiful flow and function through your spaces. Known for our large-scale stonework and spatial planning, we also sweat the small stuff, carefully considering every last millimetre of your property.

The ideal way for Smac Studio to work with you is from the start. Shona likes to come on board early, before the Development Application, and work collaboratively with you. However, you can get in touch at any stage of your project.
