about us

Studio Coco is a boutique architectural design practice based in Surry Hills, Sydney. Specialising in high-end residential design, we believe in creating spaces that are playful, pragmatic, and purposeful.

Our approach is rooted in durability and material reductionism, ensuring each project stands the test of time. We don't just design spaces; we elevate the experience of everyday life.

At Studio Coco, we work in partnership with our clients. Your vision, your budget, and your needs are at the forefront of our process. We listen, we advise, and together, we create exceptional spaces that reflect your personality and lifestyle.

While we primarily focus on residential homes, our practice has experience across a diverse range of projects, including commercial buildings, mixed-use developments, and multi-dwelling complexes. No matter the scale or location, we are committed to collaborating with clients who share our values and design approach.

TAKE A LOOK AT OUR WORK

what our clients have to say:

We were initially nervous about working with an architect because we had no experience in this area at all. But really, over a year later, we think back to ourselves how lucky it was we did work with Nikki. She explained things clearly and simply and was from the outset every bit as passionate about our project as we were. She went out of her way to ensure not just the big things were being handled, but the small details too. She realised without us saying anything that this was probably the biggest investment we had ever made and she was cognisant of the scale of this project for us, a normal middle class couple. We simply could not have done this without her, and breathe a sigh of relief that we decided to engage expert help. From outset to completion, there was not one stage that we felt she was not unbelievably attentive. So many forms to fill out, so many permissions to obtain, and she did it all. We just sat back and thanked ourselves for taking the plunge with her.

Mention must also be made about her artistry and creativity. Like most people we didn’t have an unlimited budget, and somehow Nikki managed to ensure that we have a home that any person would be proud of. It is airy, light, bright, filled with our personalities and we don’t want to leave! She has truly transformed what was a nice house into a home for life. I would recommend Nikki for ANY project, big to small, no matter who you are and what your aesthetic happens to be. In our case our home was too small for our professional purposes (we are both ‘creatives’) and yet being in inner Sydney we didn’t have that much space to play with. Somehow Nikki has given us a palace on a small budget! Ten out of ten.
