Past Project Experience

See below for a selection of Duncan Betts’ past Projects:

“Our residential development team at Cbus Property greatly enjoyed working with Duncan on our 185 Wharf Street project in Spring Hill which commenced construction in late 2023. He led the design team on the long and difficult road from acquisition through development approval and contractor appointment.

We found Duncan to be an architect of high skill and integrity. His professional, responsiveness, and creativity along with his understanding of budgetary and tight schedule constraints was hugely valued on the project.”

Architecture + Interior Design

Aesthetics are an outcome of refining the relationship between the design narrative and critical objectivity.

Our practice ethos imbeds interior design as an integral and inseparable part of architecture.  We reflect on the modernist design principle that the inside and outside are symbiotic and intrinsically linked.  Our approach is therefore one of integrating interior designers with architects from inception through to completion to ensure the translation of ideas into details across all scales.

We see the crafting of interior detailing as essential to elevating experience, enhancing quality and creating inspired beauty.  We practice with an awareness that people spend more of their life experiencing the inside of a building and therefore integration of interior design is fundamental in all parts of the design process and ethical practice.  Our design methodologies focus on rigorous spatial planning, careful detailing, craftsmanship, ergonomics and the flow of the spaces that are considered in parallel with developing architecture and interior design that embodies a sense of elegance and timelessness.

Bespoke Apartments

We design exceptional bespoke residential architecture and interiors that are highly marketable, efficient and brand enhancing.  

The process of designing and constructing bespoke residential apartments is fast paced, highly complex, challenging and rewarding. We see opportunity to innovate within this complexity and embrace the challenge. The responsibility of managing the efficient design and creation of beautiful ‘homes in the sky’ for people to live, invest or rent requires a specialised team of aligned project partners from many disciplines.   

We have extensive experience with the design and delivery of quality bespoke residential apartments delivered with varied procurement models. We adopt a flexible approach that views each project as a design partnership with the principal client, contractor and project team.

Residential Design Advisory

We provide a rapid residential design advisory service that helps you understand your site potential, design efficiencies and project brief metrics. 

We provide strategic Residential Design Advisory services for clients seeking to understand how their site fits within a broader context and to uncover the latent opportunities within their site. We work closely in partnership with leading town planners, project managers, development managers, landscape architects and consultants to provide strategic design advice for clients to unlock their unseen and unrealised site potential. 

This advice applies to all residential typologies including social and affordable housing, BTR through to large-scale residential and mixed use projects.

We utilise strategic design intelligence, specialised design and construction knowledge with authentic communication, disciplined processes and financial awareness to provide clients and property specialists with a better understanding of their site potential. As part of this initial phase, we carefully analyse project metrics, site constraints, opportunities and review counterintuitive design solutions in preparation for discussions with Councils or key stakeholders.  

This preliminary service is highly instructive in assisting clients to determine the optimal way forward for their property, project or potential investment before going too far. We offer this service for projects of all scales, from individual private residential lots through to large scale urban sites.

Bespoke Houses

We design exceptional bespoke houses tailored to your vision, lifestyle and aspirations. 

The process of designing and constructing a bespoke house is very exciting and rewarding for all involved and comes with many twists and turns in the project journey. Our role as the Architect and lead design consultant is to support you in realising your project vision.

We understand the financial and emotional commitment involved in designing and delivering exceptional bespoke residential architecture. We also understand the end game which delivers immense value to your property over time and in elevating the quality of everyday living for you and your family.  

The entire process from project inception to construction completion on site can take several years before you can start enjoying living in your new home. It is therefore important that early decisions are well considered, projects are well planned, and efficient processes are in place that facilitate clear communication for the purpose of achieving the highest quality outcomes.   

Our specialised residential design expertise is complimented by a focus on relationships and clear, authentic communication to ensure your vision becomes a reality.
