In this episode, we're joined by Sarah Bryant from Bryant Alsop Architects who breaks down the process of hiring an architect and how important it is to find the right fit between you, your architect, and your builder.

Sarah also gives us a peek into the range of services her firm offers, from design and documentation to contract administration and assisting with tenders, and walks us through the five key stages of the architectural process: Concept Design, Design Development, Documentation, Tender, and Construction. 

We cover the importance of clear communication and having a trusted guide to help you through the sometimes tricky world of building projects. Plus, she touches on the costs of hiring an architect and why investing in the right team from the start makes all the difference for a smooth, successful build.

More Than Blueprints: How an Architect Can Shape Your Building Journey

This week we have interior designer Claire Larritt-Evans of Larritt-Evans join us for a chat!

She shares her insights on what an interior designer really brings to a home project, from planning, designing, and carefully detailing the interiors of a house, whether it's working independently or teaming up with an architect. Claire points out the benefits of architects and interior designers collaborating closely to make sure the end result feels cohesive and well thought out.

We go through her process and how it starts with getting to know the client in detail —understanding how they live, what they need from their space, and then creating a design that truly reflects their lifestyle. She also touches on the importance of clients being honest and setting realistic budgets so there are no surprises later. 

By the end of the project, we chat about what clients walk away with - a full set of detailed design documentation which includes everything from floor plans and elevations to finishes and fixture schedules—ensuring the vision comes together just as planned throughout the build.

More Than Meets the Eye: The Process Behind Well-Designed Homes with Larritt-Evans

In this episode, Rebeka chats with Steph Bailey, one of our DevelopHers who's just completed and put her latest beautiful project, 'Fontayne', on the market! Having come from a background in digital and tech, Steph explains how being exposed to property and design from a young age through her parents sparked her interest to take the leap herself.

They cover everything from her design choices to the budgeting hurdles she had to jump, all while making sure it felt like home. Steph opens up about some valuable lessons she’s learned along the way, like the importance of negotiation and doing a feasibility upfront, as well as why adding your personal touch is key when designing a space to make it feel "homey".

Best of luck with the sale Steph! If you'd like to take a look at the listing or know someone that would love to buy a gem like this, head to: https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-frankston+south-146503980.
