New Homes & Renovations
Designing Spaces Around the Way You Live
A home should do more than look good. It should support the way you live, make everyday spaces work better and feel right for the people using them.
Poché works closely with clients to understand their ideas, priorities and concerns before turning them into a clear architectural direction. From early concepts and spatial planning to approvals, visualisation and project support, the aim is to make the process feel more manageable, collaborative and less intimidating.
This fits the strategy goal of positioning Poché as more than a drawing service, but as a trusted guide throughout the project.
A new home
Building a new home is a major investment, and getting the early decisions right can save time, stress and unnecessary costs later.
​
Poché helps shape the layout, flow and feel of your home around the way you want to live.

A renovation or addition
Sometimes the right home is already there, but it no longer works for your family, lifestyle or future plans.
​
Poché helps improve the flow, function and value of existing homes through thoughtful renovations and additions.
​
This may involve creating more space, adding a home office, improving entertainment areas or reworking an awkward layout.

Council submissions
1. Understanding the Vision
Before drawings can begin, we meet to discuss your ideas and goals for the space.
2. Turning Ideas Into a Workable Concept
An initial design is created, materials are chosen and estimated costs are drawn up.
3. Design Development
At this stage the client reviews the finalized plans alongside elevation views and any necessary changes are made.
4. Plan Submission
Documentation is prepared for the local authorities and submitted for approval.
5. Construction
The appointed contractor takes possession of the site, and building can begin!
6. Handover
At project completion all documents are gathered and the occupation is then granted to the owner!
The Process
Open to a different way of building?
We are very interested in alternative, sustainable and innovative design solutions.
Â
Examples include:
-
Container homes

-
Smarter use of materials
-
Compact and efficient layouts
-
More sustainable design decisions
-
Creative solutions for unusual sites or briefs
Â
Alternative building does not mean compromising on comfort, function or design. It means looking at the project differently and finding the solution that makes the most sense for the client, site and budget.
