Architect Frank Stewart creates contemporary spaces that inspire, engage and nurture those living and working within them.

His designs are directly influenced by a relaxed North Coast living and sub tropical climate with broader, more subtle influences from Japanese and Scandinvian design and the unpretentious beauty of nature to make special places that both reflects the individual character of his clients and accommodates their active, creative and contemplative lifestyle.

Responding to local environmental conditions such as topography, winter sunlight, cooling breezes, existing foliage, water features and dominant views, Frank uses a relaxed open-plan style that complements the natural surroundings by providing a flowing indoor-outdoor transition.

This site specific approach with careful attention to detail and innovative approaches to spatial layout, materials, lighting, thermal comfort, privacy and noise requirements produce a user friendly, creative and cost effective solution.
Understanding the variable needs of a growing family & changing workplace,

Frank integrates related & separate areas for work, play, family, private retreat and creative activities, including teenage and home-business needs.

Frank's practice is committed to principles of ecologically sustainable development through energy and water efficient design including:

• Passive solar design through building orientation, insulation & ventilation
• Specification of renewable materials
• On site rain water harvest, treatment and re use
