Interior Design by Inner West Architects & Builders

We have a team with a wealth of knowledge and experience. As architects and builders, we also specialise in interior design. Our team has worked with well-known Sydney firms like Andrew Burgess and Popov Bass, delivering high-quality interiors across Sydney.

We always start with interiors in mind and integrate them from day one. That ensures your project runs smoothly, with no gaps between design and construction—just seamless collaboration between architect and builder to create thoughtful, well-executed spaces.

Yes. We design the entire project—garden, interior, building, windows—as one integrated product. We consider your taste, your home’s existing structure, and the surrounding environment. As an architect and interior designer, we aim for a seamless look that feels right in its context. If you have a modern building, we won’t force a heritage interior. Everything should flow naturally.

Yes. Most people come to us because we manage the whole process—design through construction. As an architect & interior designer, we ensure everything is optimised from the start. This is more cost-effective, because we optimize your budget from the beginning. There’s no double handling of information. It’s faster, smoother, and more transparent. You get a single point of responsibility.

If we’re only doing interiors, we can complete design and approvals in about three months. We can sometimes start on-site sooner for smaller projects. It also depends on how quickly you make decisions. The timeline can vary, but three months is a good guide for most interior-only work.

We usually recommend a design consultation that includes rough sketches. If the project is all interiors, we’ll dive right into sketching options and planning. We also offer fixed-price design for bathrooms. A design consultation is a great first step.

Decoration typically involves finishing touches, like furniture, artwork, and decorative pieces. Interior design goes deeper. We plan joinery, lighting, wall finishes, and other details. We can do both. If you want us to help select your furniture and artwork, we’re happy to. If you prefer to bring in a stylist, we’ll collaborate with them.

Not if your architect handles interiors as well. At Ballast Point, we manage both the building design and the interiors. We only bring in a separate interior designer if you have a special reason—like a unique style or a particular designer you want. But nine times out of ten, we do it all in-house.

Absolutely. We want you to feel part of the team. We’ll walk you through each step, from the first sketches to the final touches. Your input matters. This is your home, so we want to make sure the design suits your needs and taste.

Function and style can clash at times, but good design finds a balance. We always go back to your goals and the purpose of your project. We also consider how the building fits into its surroundings. With clear objectives, we can help you make solid decisions that meet both functional and aesthetic needs.

Yes. It’s important for us to understand your style and any furniture or special items you plan to keep. We often design around key pieces like a piano or a beloved sofa. That helps everything feel like it belongs together.

We start with the finishes and details, then work backward. That way, we make sure walls, floors, and layouts align perfectly with our chosen materials. We measure carefully, plan construction around the design, and keep the entire project—inside and out—connected.
