a little more about us

The way rnd studio approach design is an attempt to embody the art of making through exploration of materials, textures and tangibility to produce architecture that is embedded in its environment both ideally and physically. Our production is a direct outcome from understanding the intended use, the current need and the future possibility of our spaces.

If you are seeking an outcome that is site specific, that is conscious of community and environment, if you have a project that is nuanced or quirky, if you are looking for a dedicated service or all of the above, then rnd studio could be the right fit for you.

This is where each project starts to come to life at rnd studio. This materials wall helps us to organise samples that could potentially become a part of your project design.

Project Testimonials

  • We worked with Rosie on redesigning the kitchen of our new home which included removing walls, repositioning doors and utilities and custom making cabinetry and bench tops. Her professionalism remained throughout the entire project. She supported us with the ideation and prepared an amazing architectural design that we instantly fell in love with. The best things about working with her were her flexibility and responsiveness. She always responded to our questions within a day and talked us through the implications of every change we wanted to make. She was able to recommend reliable contractors for construction, electrical, painting work and cabinetry, what significantly reduced the time we needed to spend on project and contractor management. Our final spending was as planned, within our budget. We are very grateful for the all rounded service and look forward to working with her on our next projects.

  • We did a full home renovation with Rosie in 2020/2021 of our 3 bedroom home in Perth. She assisted us with the full scope of architectural services from concept design, planning assistance, documentation of the project and then managed the complete site during construction. We can only speak praise about the process, guidance and outcome. We love our renovated home and would recommend her to anyone.

    Declan - St James

  • We were lost by the limited design knowledge of residential builder, went to Rosie and “BAM” a nice functional area is out, making use of all spaces and bringing the best practicality into the living space. Although we didn’t go on to build the details but definitely looking to engage her for our upwards extension. Definitely recommend.

    Robin - Victoria Park

  • Rosie created a beautiful alfresco for our house in 2023. There were difficulties getting the design through Council and Rosie was able to navigate these and offer sound advice as well as liaising with the building engineer. Rosie was organised, efficient and personable throughout the process. Any calls or emails were promptly returned. When we had problems with the builder Rosie was also able to offer advice. I would have no hesitation hiring Rosie again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an architect.

    Pauline - Churchlands

  • Highly recommend Rosie Norris at RND STUDIO. Rosie attended my home and embraced my many ideas for renovations. She set about providing designs that have evolved over time and continue to do so.

    Her clever design work made it easy for me to make decisions.

    Her positive energy and helpful nature are a delight.
