Drake Design is a boutique Beaconsfield building design studio working across custom homes, renovations, multi-residential, commercial, industrial and childcare projects, from concept design through planning, documentation and permit support.
Drake Design is a boutique building design studio headquartered in Beaconsfield in Melbourne’s south-east. Its work includes custom homes, acreage lifestyle properties, renovations and extensions, multi-residential developments, commercial buildings, industrial projects and childcare facilities. The team begins by understanding how clients intend to live or work in the building, then combines those priorities with the site, budget, planning conditions and practical construction requirements.
Different sites call for different design responses. Urban homes often focus on space efficiency, light and privacy, while acreage properties can build stronger relationships with landscape, orientation and outdoor living. Renovations require careful integration between retained and new work. Multi-residential and commercial work adds parking, operational and planning requirements. Interior design can also be incorporated where a coordinated relationship between exterior architecture and internal spaces is important.
The service can progress from concept design into design development, town planning, working drawings and construction documentation, followed by building-permit preparation. Engineers, energy assessors and other specialists are coordinated so their information aligns with the drawings. When construction begins, the studio can remain available for builder queries and design clarification rather than ending its involvement at document issue.
