CRADLE DESIGN

Crafting space into places you’ll love!

At Cradle Design, our goal is to transform the space you live into a place you’ll love. We expertly integrate your physical and emotional needs, whether it’s for residential, commercial, or hospitality purposes.

At the heart of our service is a passion for crafting a place to thrive and enjoy life. Through our wealth of architectural design experience, our role is one of creativity… to inspire your thinking and to deliver an inspirational space.

We recognise that working with architects and interior designers is not an everyday experience. Central to a successful outcome is close collaboration and free flowing, transparent communication. Our Cradle Develop Process serves to share the key milestones and decisions along the way, ensuring that your vision and expectations are delivered. 

We have a passionate team at Cradle, led by Paul Lucas and Regan VanderWert-Walsh, who established the design studio in Balgowlah nearly 15 years ago.  

Please take some time to look through our portfolio of recent projects. We’d love to hear from you and understand what makes you tick so we can work with you to create a space for you to love.
