ABOUT

WOWOWA are storytellers, story listeners, and story makers.

We offer a deeply bespoke experience for clients who want to build more than a house; they want a private sanctuary. As spatial biographers, we guide you through a collaborative process to extract your distinct visual language. We have been called expert colourists marrying functionality and practicality with the JOY and DELIGHT of everyday life, telling the story of who you are.

Many of our clients come from the high intensity worlds of medicine, tech, and the film industry. They choose us because we deeply understand the psychology of space and the vital need for a calmed nervous system. We design for the inner child in all of us, creating restorative oases that offer a profound physical and emotional respite from the world. We believe architecture should also have a sense of humour and whimsy.

Our residential service is entirely holistic as we translate your life into architecture. We carefully curate the interiors, integrating new furniture and art alongside treasured heirlooms. Celebrating a connection to landscape and sustainability, we honor Country.

Working from our Collingwood studio, our team approaches public or tertiary projects with the same love and care, bringing resi DNA to the public realm.
