We offer a range of architectural services from full design & documentation services to project feasibility...

What We Do

At de.arch, we design thoughtful, functional spaces across a wide range of project types.

Led by architects Peita and Jessica, our team has extensive experience in residential design—from compact inner-city terraces to spacious rural homes.

We also specialise in Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), creating homes that meet the needs of people with high physical support or significant functional requirements.

Our work includes healthcare and allied health spaces like laboratories, dental practices, and podiatry clinics—designed to support both staff and patient wellbeing.

We also deliver smart, considered solutions for commercial projects, including office fitouts, retail showrooms, lobby upgrades, and end-of-trip facilities.

de.arch offer a range of services for those who wish to enlist the expertise and guidance of an architect for a large or small part of your building project journey.

Whether it be pre-purchase or pre-planning advice and feasibility, partial design services or full end to end design services, we tailor our services to suit you.

We wish to share our experience and knowledge so that you can make better design choices in your residential or commercial project – because our lives are too valuable for poorly designed spaces and you deserve better!
