The Unity in Design story

NDIS, SDA & Disability Design. Unity in Design provide architectural designs that are innately practical & easily compliant for Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust, High Physical Support for all levels of the Specialist Disability Accommodation & National Disability Insurance Schemes. Unity in Design is a recent subsidiary to Formspace Building Design. Unity in Design begins with the desire and passion to do better.… to do better for Australians living with a disability. The ‘design to build market’ has a gratuitous need to deliver above considered industry standards to provide a level of design that knowingly, is transforaminal for participants. For too long this has been undervalued. Unity in Design has been recognised as the exemplar for a new type of rationale for disability led design and the impacts these designs have on local community, mainstream integration and broader wellbeing/social fabric.​

Unity In Design (by Formspace) are also proud to be one of the first Registered Providers for the NDIS in Queensland for building design. Our meaningful approach, is a response to what can be achieved with progressive foresight and a collaboration that is vested to innovate for a clear manifestation of a participant lead program. Unity In Design seamlessly integrate the design typologies, regardless of disability that provide a strong uplift on equality.

✍️ While Formspace (well… me) predominantly focuses on disability and residential building design, I also design across a broad range of building classifications and project types, including commercial, industrial and apartment work, across Australia.

Here’s a recent example of a medium impact industrial workshop in Brisbane, with varying layers of complexity due to zoning requirements. I really enjoy the variety and problem solving this sector brings.

I genuinely appreciate the businesses that support and back me in designing challenging projects, and in return I always try to put my best foot forward across every project and design discipline.

✏️ A recently designed resort style estate, designed in the Gold Coast Hinterland. It’s a big and confident estate home with strong symmetry for a deliberate arrival + rear entertaining.

The Arrival / presence: The gatehouse + porte cochere + reflection ponds create a proper sense of ceremony and “wow” the moment you enter. It reads expansive and intentional with direct views to the back of the home, with the living areas spilling over to the outdoor space.

The rear acts like a private resort with a lap pool that features a baja shelf inspired bunny pad + spa + sunken fire pit + outdoor living wings with views over a drop edge pool and beyond.

All the small details, from caravan parking, pizza oven and wellness sauna, all here in this home.

One of my personal favorites from 2025, a Mediterranean-inspired knockdown rebuild in Burleigh.

The facade is anchored by a hand-applied clay render, softly textured, yet imperfect.. in the best way. Its warm, mineral tones catch the light differently throughout the day, giving the curved forms a sense of depth and age, areas of design that you see through Morocco and the alike.

Paired with layered planting and gentle arches, the finish brings a grounded, coastal warmth that feels timeless rather than styled.

“CURVAS” Brand new Mediterranean-inspired display home opening in 2026.

Set on a prominent corner of Nerang Road in Southport, this home is all about texture and form… natural stone, soft clay Venetian render, sculpted curves and warm finishes that take cues from classic North African Mediterranean coastal design.

North African design, especially in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and parts of Egypt, is historically dominated by lime and clay-based renders. Those soft, earthen finishes (tadelakt in Morocco, for example) are exactly the clay/lime plasters polished or burnished to create depth, warmth and subtle movement in light.

Two new Mediterranean expressions taking shape in Brisbane, open to the public, I assume, soon.
These designs draw from years of wandering old Mediterranean villages, touching stone walls warmed by sun, watching how light bends through an archway in late afternoon. Not something pulled from Pinterest, but lived, walked, breathed, experiences that shaped my Mediterranean design understanding.
The Med teaches that buildings don’t just home life, they hold it. They soften, age gracefully, invite connection.
Seeing these built reminds me why I design.
Even after a year that tested patience, faith in people and the industry…. and at times my own footing, creation remains steady. The work still comes from experience, not imitation.
I’m shutting down shortly to reset, restore and breathe for the first time in what feels like a long while. Thank you to those who supported me this year, I’ll see you fresh in 2026.
