Our Approach

Start a project

Our clients partner with us for more than our design skills. We unlock the exciting potential of each space by sharing ideas and themes so we can build the kind of homes that people and communities love.

Our unique design approach has a strong focus on sustainability and function. We start each new project guided by our design principles, while staying flexible and curious to fully explore your ideas and what is best for your space and budget.

Get in touch

Challenging sites or planning limits motivate us to seek creative solutions where others see problems. By questioning what’s possible, we surpass the conventional.

Our work is adaptable, contextual and thoughtfully considered in the use of natural light, flowing spaces, and a seamless blend of indoors and outdoors. Our clients come to us feeling overwhelmed by options and cautious about budget constraints. Using design as a tool, we strive to surpass expectations and replace uncertainty with confidence and excitement.

Commitment to you as our client.

mckimm is built on a foundation of collaboration and respect. Our clients are co-creators in the process of delivering exceptional, luxury homes and spaces with careful consideration given to how our designs mesh with local communities.

We design homes that are enduring

We believe great design is engagingly vibrant and enduringly simple. Through meaningful ideas that push the boundary of each project, we welcome the challenge of unlocking your space and delivering outcomes that feel both natural and unexpected when you step through the door.

We design homes that inspire

We seamlessly blend our unique style with yours. From an abundance of natural light to clever design that marries the indoor and outdoor, our style is instantly recognisable and known, while leaving room to adopt what matters to you for your desired living experience.

We design homes that elevate living

Our clients understand the true value of a home isn’t in the choice of tiles or the acoustic quality of windows – it’s in the feeling of each space and the way they flow. We don’t just design and build a new home for you, but create better living conditions.

Our Process.

Introduction

Everything starts with an obligation-free meeting (either in person, over the phone or online) to discuss the nature of your site and project, and what services we offer. Whether clients choose to engage us for partial or full services, we are committed to making the experience memorable.

Conceptualisation

We take the time to establish your goals and objectives, such as what types of space and amenities you desire. Our in-house team uses 3D modelling software and highly detailed plans to communicate our ideas in vivid realism. Before moving on, we take your feedback and make any necessary adjustments.

Documentation

We meticulously document every aspect of our designs and handle all permits and planning approvals on your behalf by collaborating closely with all consultants to keep your project moving forward. As an integrated practice, our building experience allows for effective planning and construction.

Construction

Once onsite work begins – with a team you already know, and that already knows your project – your new home comes to life. Through regular site reports and ongoing overviews and revisions, we ensure your project is an enjoyable experience, all the way through to completion (and celebrating with a glass of champagne).

We want to hear about your project.
