At Rockpool, we create buildings that are inspiring, resilient and made special by the little things.
Our designs reflect our obsession with light, texture and practical solutions that elevate everyday living.
We guide the process but are always part of something bigger and longer lasting than ourselves. Like the rockpools that inspired our name, every project is shaped by great relationships, thoughtful decisions and a deep connection to place.

About Us
Based in Byron Bay, Rockpool Studios is an architecture and interior design practice working across the Northern Rivers, South East Queensland and Sydney.
We design renovations, new homes and mixed-use developments that are thoughtful, enduring and deeply connected to the people who use them and the places they are built on.
We approach every project with curiosity, collaboration and a commitment to exceptional design no matter how big or small.
Our ability to combine architectural creativity with genuine development insight allows us to move confidently between renovating terrace houses, new residential homes and commercially successful developments, creating places that are beautiful, highly functional and built to stand the test of time.
From each and every project we seek to continually learn and improve. This makes our role a joyous one that we hope to share with you.
Rockpool Studios is a NSW registered Class 2 Design Practitioner, providing design services for multi-residential and mixed-use developments requiring registration under the Design and Building Practitioners Act.
