Capabilities

Led by our principal Nickolas Gurtler, our small team achieves big things. With our multi-disciplinary skillset, we provide interior and architecture services in the residential, multi-residential, commercial, retail and wellness + beauty sectors.
​

Studio Values

Design, to us, should be transportive, immersive and thought-provoking. Whilst each project is different our studio aesthetic sits at the point of tension between stringent minimalism and absolute glamour, delicately balancing the opposing ideologies together. We call this “restrained glamour”. Our studio has a commitment to authenticity, a reverence for history and a longing to create. We see the design elements and principles as the language of our craft and we utilise, manipulate and transmute them to deliver spaces that are emotive and highly functional to those who experience them.
​
With a specialisation in the beauty + wellness sector, our firm has a strong commitment to the ritual of beauty and the significance of wellness.

With our multi-disciplinary skillset, we provide interior and architecture services in the residential, multi-residential, commercial, retail and wellness + beauty sectors.

More WIP from our Albert Park residence. Part of the new contemporary extension at the rear of the heritage structure, the brief called for a focus on craftsmanship, yet a familiar connection to the older part of the house.

Roman travertine veining changes direction, monolithic forms create a sense of permanence, suede and random grain stainless steel add tactility and a soigné edge to the space - a signature Nickolas Gurtler vibe 💅

A study in warmth, texture and materiality at Dr Fatima Khan - Menopause Specialist.

Rich burgundy upholstery, walnut joinery and sculptural details create a space that feels worlds away from the conventional clinical environment.

We’re proud to contribute to a new chapter in women’s health through thoughtful, considered design, working alongside visionary practitioners who are reimagining what healthcare spaces can be for better treatment outcomes - and happier practitioners!

Our next women’s health project will be revealed very soon, with another set for completion before the year is out. An exciting time for our studio and a sector we feel privileged to work within.

Work in progress on our Albert Park residence. The brief from our client was to preserve the heritage spirit of the original home, despite the almost complete rebuild.

In the primary suite, the walkthrough robe leads to a luxurious bathroom that juxtaposes Cafe de Paris marble with Roman travertine and bronze. The monolithic shapes that form a visual language for the house are tempered by shaker profile cabinets and bronze hardware.

For the w**e lovers.

The art of w**e making was the inspiration for the cellar of our Vulcan House, subtly translated through our contemporary lens.

Timelessness was considered with each decision, combining tan leather, various stained oak timber, bronze, natural stone, concrete and burgundy wool.

Rich, indulgent, layered and textured - just like a Tiramisu.

Our Harmonia House project is carefully curated, painstakingly composed and thoughtfully assembled.

Nothing is off the shelf in this home, each piece commissioned specifically for the project. European pieces are mixed with pieces by exceptional Australian makers and artists - the best in the business;

Dr Fatima Kahn - Women’s Health

Whilst patients wait for their appointment, they’re encouraged to take a seat in the small library. No stale magazines to be found, instead books that expand the mind can be used to pass the time rather than doom scrolling their phones. There’d be copies of Dr Fatima’s new book - Hormone Health is Mental Health - on the shelves but it’s such a smash hit it’s almost sold out everywhere!

Women’s health is becoming an important specialty within our practice, with two more projects in this space to share very soon. It’s something we feel incredibly privileged to contribute to. These spaces carry profound personal significance, yet are too often reduced to purely clinical environments. We see design as a way to shift that experience - bringing greater warmth, dignity and emotional intelligence to the places where women receive care.

Peppermint Grove, in progress.

Our clients came to us with a strong vision for the complete reworking of their existing home, looking to the Haussmannian apartments of Paris as a key point of reference.

We’ve approached these references through our own lens, preserving their character while filtering them through a more restrained materiality, sculptural furniture and contemporary detailing. It’s a tension between old and new, character and contemporary expression, exuberance and restraint that feels true to our clients’ vision, while naturally carrying the sensibility they came to us for.

Ray White Touma Taylor - Workplace

Conceived less as a conventional workplace and more as a series of rooms, the interior draws from residential and hospitality environments to create a softer setting for both work and conversation.

Monumental columns of Black Caviar marble establish a sense of permanence, balanced by walnut, linen, leather and stainless steel. Furniture is integrated into the architecture while softer elements temper its more formal gestures.

The intention was a workplace with the familiarity and material richness of an interior to feel at home in, particularly fitting for a business centred around home ownership.

We’re particularly proud of this one, having had the pleasure of watching the team use the space, how it’s improved their teamwork and workflow. It’s also been nominated for a series of design awards recognising the unique approach to workplace design.
