Home Workshop

The most important conversation you’ll have about your home

Hide & Seek Apartment

Our Home Workshop is a collaborative, in-depth session that helps you discover what truly matters in your future home. It's a guided exploration of your values, lifestyle and vision – the things that shape how you want to live, not just what you want to build. Whether you’re renovating or starting from scratch, our Home Workshop gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward.

Why it matters

There’s more to a project brief than a list of rooms. What do you need from a home emotionally and practically? What brings you joy? What grounds you? What energises you?

Our Home Workshop helps uncover these insights. It’s the first step in our human-centred design process and forms the foundation of every project we work on.

What to expect

A two-to-three-hour workshop that includes:

  • A guided five-step activity program exploring your values, memories and daily rhythms

  • Creative conversations about lifestyle, space and aspirations

  • Two online surveys to help define your space requirements, budget and timing

  • A personalised Home Workshop Record that captures your ideas, goals and priorities and can form the basis of a design brief

Whether you continue with us or another designer, this is a powerful tool for shaping your project from the inside out.

Where we work

We offer our Home Workshop across Australia. We’ll come to your home or welcome you to our West End studio in Brisbane. If we can’t visit you in person, we’ll host the session virtually.

  • Kirsten and Craig, Caloundra

    "Tim and David took us through their unique process that ensured they understood what we wanted, and we understood their solution.....the fun aspect of the “Hide & Seek” concept first felt like just a saying, but it is now very real to us and those who visit. We love our privacy, and we love our new public space."

  • Mark, Brisbane

    “The Home Workshop was a revelation. It helped us understand who we are and what we want in a home. The answers were in our heads – the workshop just drew them out.”

  • Madeline, Melbourne

    “Because of the workshop, we felt completely confident with our renovation plans. Our new space brings us joy every day.”
