Practice
Refined residential design with clear documentation and buildability in mind.
Connatus is a Sydney-based building design practice focused on practical and refined residential building design, interior design, approvals and documentation. We specialise in custom homes, duplexes, alterations and additions, providing design services from early feasibility and concept design through DA, CDC, CC and construction documentation.
Our approach is practical, buildability-focused and informed by our ongoing work with builders, consultants and certifiers. We develop clear and coordinated documentation that supports both the approval process and the realities of construction, helping each project move forward with clarity and confidence.
We believe a successful home should be carefully resolved inside and out. Our design process considers building form, interior spaces, finishes, natural light, ventilation and everyday liveability together, creating homes that are practical, refined and aligned with long-term property value.
