    Maira Zugman

    Director. NSW ARB 12675

    Bachelor of Architecture and Urban Planning

    Master in Sustainable Design and Building

    Maira’s architectural journey began in Brazil, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture and Planning in 2005. Her passion for sustainable design led her to Australia, where she completed a Master’s in Sustainable Design and Building at the University of Sydney. Over the years, she refined her expertise in residential architecture, working across a range of projects from boutique luxury homes to large-scale developments.

    For more than a decade, Maira has held senior leadership roles in both architectural and design-and-construction practices. There, she oversaw bespoke homes from concept to completion, ensuring every project was delivered with precision and care. Her meticulous approach, attention to detail, and deep understanding of construction allow her to create homes that are both visually striking and highly functional.

    Outside of work, she enjoys time with her husband and two children, tackling DIY projects, cooking, painting, bushwalking, and crafting flower arrangements.

    Nicola Strange

    Director.

    Bachelor of Architecture.

    Master in Architecture.

    Nicola has been designing homes for close to 20 years, blending her artistic creativity with a deep understanding of real-world practicalities. She believes that architecture transcends merely building structures; it’s about forging meaningful connections—between people and their environment, as well as between vision and function.

    Her personalised approach sees each project as a unique opportunity to tell a story, carefully considering how her designs will interact with the natural surroundings and the lives of those who inhabit them. Nicola is dedicated to creating spaces that harmonise with their environments, seamlessly integrating the built form with the physical landscape. Her creative spirit and fine-tuned awareness allow her to transform ideas into enduring, liveable spaces that reflect the aspirations of her clients.

    On the weekends you’ll find Nicola at the beach or in the Mountains, snowboarding, surfing or biking. And she is also passionate amateur ceramist.
