What is your design process?

We begin with a conversation about how you live, what you value, and what the space could become. From there, we develop concept designs, documentation, and guide the build — keeping the original intent in view at every stage.

How long does a project take?

Every project is different. A residential renovation typically takes 12 to 18 months from first meeting to completion. New builds can take 18 to 24 months. We will give you a clear timeline at the outset.

Do you work on interiors as well as architecture?

Yes. We bring architecture and interiors together from the very beginning. Materials, joinery, lighting, and furniture are considered as part of the whole — not as an afterthought.

What areas do you work in?

We are based in Melbourne and work across Victoria. We have also completed projects in regional areas and interstate. If the project is right, we are open to travelling.

How do I start a project with ARKU?

The simplest way is to get in touch. Tell us a little about what you have in mind and we will arrange a time to meet. Every meaningful space starts with a conversation.
