Each of these projects demonstrate Stutchbury’s profound knowledge of construction, materials, site and context, as well as his fundamentally intuitive architectural skills.

3New: Australian Guide to Home Staging Add an extra $10,000+ to your property's value using simple yet highly effective home presentation ideas.
Home Staging is a relatively new concept in Australia. But it is one that has been proven overseas to provide a massive advantage over other properties for sale.Author, Katrina Maes, has been home-staging for years. She helps clients work within a budget and a timeframe to best prepare their home for sale. Her experience shows that if you home-stage a property for sale you will reduce the time it is on the market and significantly increase the sale price of the property.
