Residential Architecture Services
Our integrated approach to architectural design!
At dion seminara architecture, one of our key differences is our holistic approach to the way we view design. Dion Seminara, our principal architect, has ensured that every architect, consultant, and builder who works with dion seminara architecture takes an integrated approach to design, and enhances architectural outcomes by using complementary interior design and landscape and external works design. All of our firm’s designs are created with the bigger picture in mind, and the result is residences that impress – both aesthetically and functionally.
Our specialty is creating stunning bespoke architecture tailored to your needs. Not only are we multi-award-winning architects – we are also 100% focused on creating beautiful and functional spaces for our clients. We don’t chase awards and trends, the awards we win are because we design from both a practical standpoint and an aesthetic one – creating spaces that work AND look beautiful. Designing with a practical approach is important, as it allows us to utilise the best aspects of the home and create a better flow.
Our Philosophy
Architecture is just part of the picture when designing your project, the interior design must complement and enhance the beauty of the structure if you want a truly impressive home. As a result, we offer a market-leading interior design service as an additional service – the perfect add-on for those looking to take their home design to the next level. When it comes to external works and landscaping; the right choice of services will depend on what else is done to your home.

Architectural Package Inclusions
Inclusion differences between our residential design packages
Depending on which design packages you choose for your project, dion seminara architecture offers several different fee structures. Our fee structures vary based on the package(s) you choose, the size of your project, and any additional services you may decide to add on. The first step of our design process, which is crucial if you are wanting to receive pricing and fees, is to book one of our “Design Advice Service” consultations.
Our Design Advice Service is a compulsory step in our design process, as it is lower commitment than our other packages, and allows us a chance to scope out the architectural work, provide advice on the feasibility of your project plans, and set realistic expectations about any limitations your project may face – as well as areas of opportunity you may not have thought of! After this Design Advice session, we can give you a fee structure and an estimated cost based on the current scope of your project.
After the Design Advice session, there are many different ways that our architects can help bring your project to life. Some of our clients choose to only engage us as architects for their concept design – which they then use to establish cost estimations, project feasibility for their lifestyle, and anything else they may need to decide – before finishing the project and managing builders themselves. Other clients may want to engage us for a more complete service – providing their input and suggestions on concepts proposed by our architects, but hiring our firm to manage the approval documents, builder tendering, and project management.
No matter your experience levels, or desired level of project involvement, our architects will be more than happy to accommodate you – we truly do have a service for everyone!
We will also provide hourly rates for additional optional services, including Interior Design and Landscape Design.
Please get in touch with us for more information about our design packages, architectural process, and any questions you may have about which package is right for you!
Additional Sub-consultant Fees
In addition to our architectural service fees, our projects generally involve the services of a range of specialist consultants. The client can be required to commission the input from a Surveyor, Town Planner, Engineers, an Estimator, and a Certifier. We will organise quotes from each of these consultants for our clients as required for the successful completion of the project.
