MEET THE TEAM
Our Team
Vision Architects was established in 2012 (previously known as Property Passion) to provide architectural and interior design focusing on commercial, mixed use and high end residential projects. Our managing director previously established and operated the award winning commercial interior design business ID Interior Designers in 1991 which brings us to exceed 30 years in this design industry.
Our team consists of individuals with diverse fields of expertise focused on delivering quality design with a commercial mindset. Unlike conventional architectural offices we have access to Rp Data, Estate Master, Nearmap and other developer softwares to assist in our designs. We work closely with finance brokers, sales agents, marketing agents and suppliers of custom materials.
What we aim to bring to home owners and developers alike is improved value to property that is finished with durable, quality materials.
Our Office
As we work with different alternative materials and products, our office setting is within a casual industrial warehouse equipped with a functioning showroom, a forklift, occasional running children and Daisy our fur baby. You may find smells of fresh bread wafting through the functioning oven and the occasional buzz of the Nutribullet in the midst of heated design discussions. There is never a dull day in our close knit office.
