Design for Living

Every project begins by listening, taking the time to understand what truly matters to you, your family, and your way of living. Whether a knock down rebuild or a transformation of an existing structure, the design process is deeply collaborative.

By approaching each home as a conversation, we uncover what makes your interests and lifestyle unique. When space is given to brainstorm freely and explore creative possibilities, the result often captures the client’s personality in playful, authentic, and unexpectedly joyous ways.

A celebration of uplifting volumes, layered with rich texture and natural materials, resulting in spaces that feel both calm and emotionally resonant. These environments are light-filled, inviting, and crafted to offer lasting comfort and elegance. A timeless design sensibility grounded in place and nature.

Landscaped outdoor areas are designed to welcome friends and family, reinforcing the relationship between home and garden, and strengthening the indoor-outdoor flow.

At Josef Maple Design Studio, we believe great design enriches everyday life. When done well, it offers more than function, it becomes an experience that multiplies joy, comfort and connection.

An extra steep sloping block offers exciting potential. It could have a great view, support an amazing terraced garden, or inspire a split-level design that works with the land, not against it. These features create layered, functional spaces with character and flow.

Whether it's a new townhouse or custom home, we focus on modern design that embraces open-plan living and invites in energising natural light, bringing warmth, flexibility and everyday joy to the experience of home.
