Creating better spaces for living

Architecture & Interiors,
Design & Creative Thinking

We are Open Design Studio

We design places and spaces that suit the life you want to live.

We believe in a studio approach to design and architecture, which places you at the core of the creative process. Only by doing this can we capture your aspirations and vision and turn them into the places and spaces that suit the life that you want to live. We always create unique architecture, designed for you.

Open Design Studio work across commercial, community and private residential properties. For every project, our approach and process remains the same.

It starts with an open conversation. To get to know you. To understand what you want from your project, from the mainstream to the magical. Together, we’ll unearth what is at the heart of your vision and transform it into a meaningful space, bursting with practical purpose.

It’s not an over statement to say we couldn’t have built our beautiful home without Open Design Studio. From concepts to construction and now post-completion, Emma, James and the rest of the team have truly gone above and beyond to support us, advise and manage the project.

...Thank you for all your help getting thus far. Feels like quite an achievement to get it into planning, whatever the outcome, but after the last year and a half it's quite an emotional step. So thank you and your team for holding my hand this far...

Open Design Studio supported us to develop our ‘Little Blue Print’ which informed decision making for key attributes of our new nursery space, both in terms of the physical internal space and guiding principles for what sets Little Blue Door apart. Despite coming in later to the project, the team stayed true to the Open Design Ethos and took a holistic approach to ensure that we have been left with a truly industry leading space and a ‘Little Blue Print’ for years to come
