WHO WE ARE

Designing with curiosity and guided by instinct, our work is underpinned with a deep respect for the stories of home.

Founded by Jillian Dinkel, our boutique studio brings together a close-knit team and trusted network of craftsmen, artists and makers. We believe the most compelling interiors are deeply personal - shaped by the architecture, the people who inhabit them and the experience that makes a house a home.

Jillian remains closely involved throughout every project, forming close relationships with her clients and bringing an experienced, editorial eye to every decision.

  • "Jill’s incredible attention to the details made this whole process a joy. It was the little touches that made all the difference."

    Nicki, Bronte House

  • "Working with Jillian has been such an incredible experience - she has such a confident, positive and enthusiastic nature about her."

    Jo, Potts Point pied-à-terre

  • "We will forever remember our first meeting with Jill. Her talent is taking the old and the new and elevating both to a new level."
