HELEN VAUGHAN ARCHITECT
14 NORTH TERRACE
HIGHGATE SOUTH AUSTRALIA 5063
A registered architect and qualified interior designer, I opened my own practice in 2004 following extensive experience in a variety of residendial and commercial projects as an architect in Adelaide and an interior designer in Melbourne.
Since establishing my own practice I have specialised in residential work; in particular extensions and renovations which are both sympathetic to the existing style of house and the modern needs of the client.
I also specialise in new kitchens and bathrooms, where I can incorporate my dual qualifications as both an architect and an interior designer.
As a sole practitioner, I provide a highly personalised service tailoring a design solution which fits the unique requirements of the client to the site, context and budget.
I believe that delivering high quality design also delivers high levels of client satisfaction.
