Our Vision Statement
To understand our clients needs is a creative listening process .
Then to materialize their ideas combined with our own creativity into a functional and aesthetically beautiful building. We believe simplicity is beauty . To know when less is more . To aim to create timeless Architecture that will transcend the cycles of fashion. Yet be fashionable to the highest degree.
Contemporary -unique -timeless design or in a particular style - we will design what you desire.
The optimum solution is always waiting to be discovered through inquiry and intuitive creative design.
The discipline of Architecture is to truly understand the external forces acting to influence a design .To consider all the forces acting on the site at that moment. Societies humanity movements, Future scenarios, Trends , Fashion , Function , Access , Environmental elements, also bylaws and building codes, sustainability and of most importance the clients needs.
Our buildings sit in harmony with their environment and are an expression of the environment . A reaction to that environment. Frank Lloyd Wrights writings on architecture "Organic Architecture " gives us strong principles of design to apply.
"Love Architecture so much that you will not allow yourself to do substandard work, you become your toughest critic " - Frank Lloyd Wright ....was so right.
Frank was also famous for saying "you can change your design with a pencil eraser now, or a sledge hammer on site" , get it right now as Architects crimes are permanent.
Everyone is not the same. Every person has a style and character of their own its our responsibility to recognize and artistically discover and express that for you personally. Also every site offers different environmental features to be reacted with in the design. A visionary approach is needed to find the ultimate solution. We love and specialize in "Mid Century" style homes.
The result is a higher property value that holds a higher resale price, this real fact should not be invalidated when you are investing so much money.
You may spend a bit more when employing an Architectural design service but you will receive a far greater value in the end product. Let your own eyes judge if the design is beautiful and harmonious in its setting. Trust your judgment.
With 43 years experience your greatest investment is to be trusted in our care.

Reviews from customers
Simon Muir - Projects - 36 Seacliffe Ave - 56a Tohunga "I've worked with Darren from BuiltArt for the past 5 plus years across a couple of project. A major Redesign in Parnell with a tricky Character/Heritage Overlay and a New build design in Hillsborough on the coast with a SEA overlay and sloping site to deal with. The designs that Darren came up with were incredible and very unique. He has a great vision of how to use the aspect of land and environment to then translate the building design into it. He is a pleasure to work with, being easy going but at the same time very quick at turning things around of high quality, very hard to find in my experience! I'm happy to provide a reference and if you are looking for a Creative, Original Artist to help you with your property then check Darren from BuiltArt out."

Leaky Homes Repair
It greatly concerns us how this problem is causing many home owners great unexpected hardship and cost. There is many successful solutions to this problem . 1) A complete re-cladding of your house with other problem areas resolved the same time, however this is the most expensive solution. But holds the greatest added value on the market if you want to sell. 2) For a far smaller cost we can offer expert advice for a targeted repair of the specific problem area with clever engineering/design this can be resolved. For example often a special flashing can solve it. 3) For many different problem areas it is advised to get an expert investigative report done which will highlight the exact causes by often removing part of the building coverings at that point. Just be aware often the issues are hidden until the cladding around the area is removed . Please email us to help you with expert guidance to your best solution

Start builders tomorrow or build yourself?. Parents - free your children from extortionist rental costs in our city.
Look in the projects folio for more photos of this 30m2 home. We sell you full construction plans and guide you with the building of it ( at $75 per hour) . So how much will it cost to build- that depends entirely on how resourceful you can be -meaning can you buy the materials at the right price ( yes- ask me how) also can you build it yourself alongside a builder? Savings can be made in all areas if you apply yourself.I built this exact house for myself for $55,000.
A family of 4-6 will live in it comfortably.
