Berrima Architects

Heritage-specialist architects in Berrima, navigating conservation requirements to deliver sensitive, enduring design outcomes.

Berrima is one of Australia's most intact Georgian-era towns, with sandstone buildings, a rich colonial history, and strict heritage planning controls. AO Design Studio brings specialist knowledge of heritage conservation, Wingecarribee Shire planning, and sustainable design to every Berrima project — whether a sensitive restoration, a sympathetic addition, or a carefully considered new build that respects the town's extraordinary architectural legacy.

Berry Architects

Berry is the South Coast gateway — a heritage-protected town with strict Shoalhaven planning controls, surrounded by rolling green hinterland that produces some of the most sought-after rural property in southern NSW.

Berry sits between the Southern Highlands and the South Coast, 130 kilometres from Sydney and roughly 55 kilometres from Bowral. Governed by Shoalhaven City Council, Berry's historic Queen Street streetscape is heritage-protected, and development in and around the town requires careful engagement with the council's planning framework. AO Design Studio designs in Berry and the surrounding rural hinterland, bringing genuine local knowledge of Shoalhaven's planning requirements and the design considerations specific to this distinctive South Coast town.

Bowral Architects

AO Design Studio is a Bowral-based practice with over five years of built work across the Southern Highlands — from heritage restorations near Bong Bong Street to contemporary new homes on the escarpment edge.

Established in Bowral in 2019, AO Design Studio has built one of the strongest local practices in the Southern Highlands. We understand Wingecarribee Shire Council's heritage planning controls, the cool temperate climate at 750 metres above sea level, and the architectural character that makes Bowral one of Australia's most distinctive country towns. Whether you're renovating a Federation home, building a new contemporary residence, or undertaking a sensitive heritage addition, we bring rigorous design thinking and genuine local knowledge to every project.

Burradoo Architects

Burradoo is where the Southern Highlands' most significant private residences are found — large private blocks, established gardens, and historic estates that demand architectural practice of the highest calibre.

Burradoo occupies a privileged position immediately south of Bowral's town centre — close enough to walk to the shops but surrounded by properties that feel entirely private and removed from the town. Blocks here are typically from one to several acres, and the homes that sit on them range from historic Federation and Edwardian estates to contemporary prestige builds. AO Design Studio brings the design rigour, detail resolution and discretion that Burradoo clients expect.

Kangaroo Valley Architects

Kangaroo Valley sits in a dramatic natural bowl between the Southern Highlands plateau and the South Coast, subject to flood risk, bushfire zones and significant environmental overlays. AO Design Studio understands how to design well in this exceptional place.

Kangaroo Valley is one of the most architecturally challenging and rewarding locations in NSW. Enclosed by escarpment and national park, subject to Kangaroo River flood risk, and governed by Shoalhaven City Council's environmental controls, building in the valley demands genuine site-responsive design expertise. AO Design Studio has designed in and around Kangaroo Valley for clients seeking rural retreats, weekender homes and permanent residences that respect the valley's extraordinary natural character.

Mittagong Architects

Experienced architects in Mittagong, creating thoughtful designs that connect the Southern Highlands with beautiful, enduring spaces.

Mittagong sits at the northern gateway to the Southern Highlands, drawing city escapees and long-term locals alike with its accessible character and natural surrounds. AO Design Studio provides expert architectural services in Mittagong — from sustainable family homes and contemporary renovations to heritage-sensitive restorations. We understand the evolving character of Mittagong and design spaces that bring lasting value and connection to this growing community.

Moss Vale Architects

Dedicated architects in Moss Vale, delivering sustainable and site-responsive design for the Southern Highlands.

Moss Vale is the commercial and civic heart of the Southern Highlands, combining heritage character with a thriving residential community. AO Design Studio brings thoughtful, sustainable architectural design to Moss Vale — from new family homes and additions to heritage restorations and commercial projects. Our team understands Wingecarribee Shire's planning requirements and the region's distinct climate, ensuring every project is beautifully tailored to place.

Robertson Architects

Specialist architects in Robertson, designing homes that embrace the township's elevated landscape, agricultural heritage, and cool-climate character.

Robertson sits high on the Southern Highlands plateau, surrounded by deep-green paddocks, misty ridgelines, and the rich red volcanic soil the area is famous for. AO Design Studio designs rural homes, retreats, and acreage properties in Robertson that respond honestly to the landscape — durable, sustainable, and deeply connected to this unique agricultural community.

South Coast Architects

AO Design Studio designs homes and retreats across the NSW South Coast, with genuine understanding of coastal planning controls, bushfire management zones, and the design challenges specific to this stretch of coastline.

The NSW South Coast stretches from Kiama in the north to Eden and the Sapphire Coast in the south — a region of spectacular beaches, coastal escarpments and lush green hinterland. AO Design Studio brings experience designing for the South Coast's specific conditions: salt-laden coastal air, flood-prone river flats, steep hinterland sites, bushfire management zones, and the planning frameworks of Shoalhaven, Kiama, Eurobodalla and Bega Valley councils. From Jervis Bay holiday homes to Kangaroo Valley rural retreats to permanent coastal residences, we design architecture that is genuinely built for this place.

Southern Highlands

AO Design Studio is a Southern Highlands-based practice with a portfolio of built work spanning the entire region, from Mittagong in the north to Kangaroo Valley on the escarpment edge.

The Southern Highlands spans some of the most architecturally rich and climatically distinct territory in New South Wales. AO Design Studio has been designing across the region since 2019 — working in heritage conservation precincts, prestige estates, plateau farmland, and escarpment-edge properties that look out over the Illawarra and beyond. We understand the region's planning controls, its cool temperate climate at 700–900 metres, and the architectural character that makes the Southern Highlands unlike anywhere else.
