Glasshouse Interior Design

What we offer

Everything your
space needs,
from one studio.

We don't start with mood boards. We start with how you live — then design backwards from there. Every project is managed from first sketch to final finish, so you never have to coordinate between trades yourself.

Pre-Construction Floor Plan Review

Before you commit to a build, we review your floor plans and identify layout issues that cost far more to fix after construction begins. This is the service most designers don't offer — and the one that saves you the most.

Full Interior Design

Concept to completion. We manage every decision — materials, finishes, joinery, lighting, furniture — and coordinate with your builder so you don't have to. You see the result, not the process.

3D Visualisations & Renders

See your space before a single wall is moved. Photorealistic 3D renders of kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces so you can make confident decisions — not expensive guesses.

Material & Finish Specification

From stone benchtops to door hardware, we specify every finish, fixture, and fitting. A complete selections document your builder can price and build from — no substitutions, no surprises.

Design Consultations

A session for one-off advice, styling support, or a second opinion before you make a major purchase. Expert guidance without the full-service commitment.

"Your attention to progress and communication with the builder and our needs throughout the project was exceptional."

— Kathy & Trevor L · Cronulla

How we work

Design that removes
every decision
you shouldn't have to make.

Our process is built around your time. You're consulted at every meaningful decision point — and protected from every one that isn't worth your attention.

Discover & Plan

We start with a detailed briefing — how you live, what frustrates you about the current space, and what success looks like for you. If pre-construction, we review your plans before anything is locked in. This is where we save you money.

Design & Visualise

Concept boards, material selections, 3D renders, and joinery drawings. You see exactly what you're getting before it's built. We iterate until it's right — not until the budget runs out.

Build & Deliver

We coordinate with your builder, attend joinery check measures, review installations, and manage finishes selection on site. You receive a completed space — not a renovation project to manage yourself.

Emma Ball · Founder

I design spaces that work as hard as you do.

The name Glasshouse comes from a story in modern architecture. In 1940, Philip Johnson designed the Glass House as a tribute to his mentor Mies van der Rohe — who hated it. What Mies criticised is now celebrated as one of the most brilliant works in architectural history. It's a reminder I come back to with every project: don't design for approval. Design with purpose.

I built Glasshouse around one belief: your space should make your life easier, not more complicated. My clients are busy professionals who trust me to make the right decisions — on finishes, layout, and trades — so they can focus on everything else.

The detail most people miss is timing. I get involved before a wall is moved — because that's when the right decisions cost nothing and the wrong ones cost everything.
