Client testimonial

  • "We had long wanted to upgrade the outdoor areas but the sloping terrain presented a number of challenges. The services provided by Dion Seminara and his team were comprehensive helping to steer us through concept design to tendering, procurement and construction management. Without this support, we would have been exposed to significant risks and doubtless additional costs. We are very happy with the finished product which has significantly enhanced our living space delivering a finished product that was far beyond what we had anticipated."

    Neil & Hazel

  • "Dion’s advice, input and experience was invaluable. Prior to our meeting, Dion spent time on the phone with me and a we completed a questionnaire so he could thoroughly understand our needs both now and into the future. Dion then spent 2 hours with us at the property. He provided great advice about the options and possibilities with the house, taking into consideration the block and aspect, our lifestyle and budget. I also called Dion a couple of times after our meeting, and he was again generous with practical, detailed info and suggestions. I’d be happy to engage Dion again. It was time and money very well spent."

    Clio

  • "We engaged Dion Seminara Architecture to help find a more aesthetically pleasing solution to using a baby gate to fence off an area for our dogs. His design solution was nothing short of brilliant – both in form and function. We are astounded at the way that Dion managed to effectively understand our brief, understand our passion for interior design, gauge our style and uncompromising standards and immediately provide options that were on-point. We have an immense amount of respect for his talent, and that of his team. He is professional, punctual and accommodating."

How we focus on your lifestyle and comfort

Queenslanders spend nearly 90% of their time indoors. As our homes allow for leisure and exercise, rest, entertainment, dining and more they play a huge role in how we define the quality of time spent with friends, family, and ourselves. We consider many factors in our planning and design phases to achieve your definition of an enhanced lifestyle, and you will experience a diverse set of recommendations and designs that meet your requirements.

Sustainable Architecture: Also known as green building or eco-friendly architecture, in this design and sustainable building approach any harmful environmental impacts are mitigated by prioritising efficiency and effective use of natural light and shade, ventilation, layout and renewable materials. In the Queensland heat, a large factor includes efficient insulation to reduce the need for energy consuming temperature control.

End to End Inclusions: Our architectural process is likely the most holistic approach possible. With expertise from interior design to landscape design and everything in between we are able to match each hour and occasion of your time spent in the home to well-engineered ideas. This includes placement and positioning of entertaining additions such as pools, bbq areas, gyms and tennis courts, to efficient use of leisure and relaxation spaces from outdoor lounges, spas, to theatre rooms and dens that consider privacy and sound-proofing.

Architecture for Accessibility: Designing homes and renovations for accessibility or needs of those with any movement restrictions or disabilities requires a holistic review from the ground up at the beginning of the master plan. The architect measures access to all rooms and surfaces to allow for space to move in and out of these areas easily with as little compromise as possible.

We inspire you. We listen to you

Sometimes it’s hard to know what you want until you see it. A leading Principal Architect is skilled at asking the right questions to then illustrate inspirational ideas to achieve your goals.

During our pre-design services we set out to identify what you’d like to change about your home and living experience, and learn which tastes and passions fuel your ability to truly enjoy comfortable living. With this information in mind, we are able to consult on a range of ideas from existing house designs to bespoke solutions. With over 30 years’ experience translating homeowner and business owner thoughts into inspiring designs, we’re confident we can show you a space you never realised you loved already.

See our Architectural Inspiration.
