our services
Residential / Commercial / Planning Applications / Design Development / Construction Documentation / Contract Admin
We take projects from first concept through to construction — handling design, planning, documentation, and on-site administration along the way.
Our Builds
Good buildings don't shout. They settle into their surroundings, age gracefully, and make the people inside them feel at ease. These projects are our attempt at exactly that.

Our Process
We don't impose. We listen to the land. Every site has a logic. A grain, a light, a material memory. Our work starts there. The result is architecture that feels inevitable rather than placed.
We Listen
(01)
Starting with your site, your brief, and your budget. No assumptions are ever made.
Design
(02)
Iterative, collaborative, and grounded in what the
site and client is asking for.
Deliver
(03)
We stay involved through construction. The finer detail matters just as much as the initial concept.
Client Perspective
"The first morning we woke up there, the mist was sitting on the water and the gums were reflected perfectly below us. We hadn't imagined it could look like that. We still don't quite believe it's ours."
Marcus & Ellie
Home Owners
Huon Valley, TAS, AUS
"We told them we wanted it to feel like it had been here forever — like it grew out of the paddock. We didn't think that was possible in a new building. We were wrong."
Yara & Tom

Northam, WA, AUS
“Grounded were the first people we spoke to who listened to what we didn’t want. The house feels like it was always going to be there.”
Rob & Georgia

Yallingup, WA
“We wanted a house that gave back to the landscape more than it took from it. The roof is already indistinguishable from the heath around it. In five years you won’t know it’s there.”

“Every material in this building came from the land we farm or the tradition we farm in. When people walk in they understand immediately what kind of wine they’re about to taste.”
Mira Estate Wines
Winery Owner
Swan Valley WA
“We’ve had people walk past the site and not notice the house. That’s the greatest compliment anyone has paid it.”
Marcus & Ellie T.

“We bought the land because of the trees. We were terrified a building would ruin what we loved about it. Grounded were the first people who understood that the trees were the project.”
The Nguyen Family
Home Owners
Pemberton WA
"We’d been watching that ridge for twenty years from the valley below. We never imagined we’d build on it. Grounded made us feel like the building had always been part of the ridge, waiting to be found."
