Brisbane Interior Design and Architecture firm

How we operate as a boutique Architecture and Interior Design studio based in Brisbane

Our focus is to provide a personal experience that holistically blends both architecture and interior design.

Brisbane's best Architects

Our History

The best outcome is to have a client who is equally happy with the design and the journey it took to create it.

After working in award winning design practices and leading projects of varying scales and complexities, Lachlan and Mikaela decided to establish ByTrace. in late 2022.

The driving force behind this endeavour was to cater to a clientele base who desire a bespoke and hands on experience. Due to being a small and dynamic studio, ByTrace. have been able to offer a competitive alternative to other high end architecture and interior design studios in Brisbane.

ByTrace. ensures that their clients are supported throughout the entire design journey by maintaining open communication and a collaborative environment. This level of communication extends past the design and documentation phases and continues with our full construction services.

Are you looking to start your project soon? If so we would love to hear from you.
