Approach

Kate Roach Architecture and Design is a multi-disciplinary interior design, interior architecture and architecture practice with studios based in Melbourne, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.

Offering bespoke solutions across hospitality and residential projects, the practice creates timeless and thoughtful designs that convey a sense of place.  How a space feels is a vital driver. The quality of light, the palette of materials, considered detail and the design and selection of furniture pieces are approached holistically. 

The starting point is to gain an understanding of a client’s needs and to identify the way a room or a sequence of spaces will be used. A process of continued questioning and refinement follows, ensuring a striking design outcome for each project.
