Plan Your Home With Confidence. Not Guesswork.

A strategic, pre‑design architectural report that gives you clarity on lifestyle, budget and direction, before you commit to drawings, consultants or construction.

The result?

Decisions are made too early, without enough clarity and the home ends up feeling compromised.

Know your why.

Your first step to a home that feels right. Not just looks great

Too many homeowners start design or renovation only to feel confused, over-budget or pulled into decisions that don’t serve their lifestyle.

Most feasibility services give a sketch or a budget range. We go deeper.

Your home is a reflection of how you live, what matters most and how this place supports your wellbeing, both now and long into the future.

Our Holistic Home Report helps you:

  • Avoid costly design revisions and budget blowouts

  • Understand what’s realistically possible on your site

  • Align your home with how you actually want to live

  • Gain clarity before committing to full design services

Most homeowners start in the wrong place.

  • Most homeowners don’t know whether they should speak to a builder, designer, draftsperson or architect first. Starting in the wrong place often leads to decisions being made too early, before priorities, constraints or long-term goals are clearly understood. This can lock you into a path that’s difficult or expensive to change later.

  • Many projects exceed budget not because of poor construction, but because there was no clear strategy from the beginning. Without early clarity on scope, priorities and realistic cost ranges, budgets are often guessed and corrected later through compromise.

  • Friends, family, online forums and sales-driven professionals often offer advice based on their own experiences rather than your site, your lifestyle or your values. Too much unfiltered advice can create confusion rather than clarity, making it hard to trust your own instincts.

  • Many people feel forced to choose between aspiration and reality. Without a strategic approach, decisions are framed as trade-offs rather than opportunities, leading to homes that feel either overbuilt or underwhelming.

  • Floor plans can look good on paper but fail in daily life. When lifestyle isn’t properly explored early (how you move, gather, rest and adapt over time) then homes often prioritise size over usefulness, leaving spaces underused or disconnected.

  • "We loved catching up with you as well last Thursday, the Kumiki house idea was so clever of you and it made it really feel like you've personalised and nailed the proposal in response to our somewhat eclectic tastes, which we're very excited about….needless to say, it's all been an extremely positive, friendly, helpful and enjoyable experience doing business with you Jessica."

  • “Working with Cooper and Blake Architecture was a delight. The whole experience was so positive and we are thrilled with our new home. Right from our first meeting they listened and took on board our hopes, requirements and ideas of what we wanted to be included in our new home. ”

    — Karen, Torquay

  • Their innovative ideas, knowledge and expertise were essential in designing and planning a space that for us feels relaxed, modern, beautiful and encompasses our coastal lifestyle. Our Hamptons inspired beach home was designed using passive design principles which have proven to work incredibly well. With only minimal use of heating in Winter and minimum cooling needed in Summer, we are enjoying the comfort of our home whilst also pleased to be reducing our carbon footprint.

    - Karen, Torquay

  • “We were provided a detailed interiors and fixtures client brief in which they noted every aspect to be included in the home. The team were very engaged and always available throughout the construction process, with no question or query too small. We loved working with Cooper and Blake and would definitely recommend them! Thank you for helping us create our dream home.”

    - Rod, Torquay

  • "Their cost estimates and projected fees were all set out for us clearly which made the whole process streamlined. The schedule they provided for external materials, lighting, joinery, colour and texture palette etc, were all so helpful and their taste and knowledge of the latest materials was fantastic. They provided samples of materials for things like surfaces, tiling, carpets and paint colours so we could collaborate and realise our shared vision. Their knowledge and application of planning requirements assisted greatly in this area."
