Without lyrics, music has no story. Without narrative, a building falls flat. We believe in designing spaces that are rich in character, purposeful, and a true reflection of the people who use them, adding colour, life, and warmth to every project.

At Lyric Architects

We believe life’s too short for boring spaces. That’s why we design buildings that are made to be lived in, worked in and enjoyed.

We love what we do and we’re here to make the process easier to understand and less overwhelming.

We partner with skilled and suitable builders and consultants to design and construct spaces that are tailored to your project—and actually get built.

If you're looking for architects in Newcastle and Coffs Harbour who listen, guide and design with purpose, you're in the right place.

The studio started with two like minded curious friends who genuinely enjoyed designing buildings. From working in the garage to a team of emerging architects, the curiosity and enthusiasm of designing a building remains.

While one of these founders are no longer with us, his spirit and kindness continues to inspire us in our practice.

The people are the key

We are a team of architects working in Newcastle and Coffs Harbour who are known for bringing creative enthusiasm to every project.

We collaborate with people who care and partner with clients who believe deeply in their project’s narrative.

How we help you

While the scale of our projects might shift from homes to public buildings, schools to commercial projects, our work is guided by a shared DNA of care and effort to design buildings that work, technically, practically, and emotionally.

03

Interior Design

We design homes that feel like home. Spaces that reflect your life and your routines. From small renovations to new builds, we collaborate closely with you to make sure every corner is purposeful, comfortable, and a true expression of who you are.

04

Buildable Design

We work side by side with trusted builders and trades to make sure our designs aren’t just concepts, they’re realistic, well coordinated and actually get built.

How we work

Good spaces start with good conversations

Our approach is designed to make the process as simple and easy as possible for you. We don't deploy architect jargon, rather, we deploy clear and decisive design medias we all understand
