Happiness begins at home, and K+ARchitects love designing homes that make people happy.

 

K+AR combines the talents and 30+ year experience of husband+wife team Kate and Andrew Rowe to design homes that are a joy to live, love and laugh in. Kate Rowe: Architect, LEED AP, BArch(Hons) BPD(Hons) Melbourne. Andrew Rowe: Architect, BArch(Hons), BPC, BPD(Hons) Melbourne. We love to make people happy at home. Our homes are often the canvas on which the memories of our life are painted. They can be the enabler of our best life or a barrier to fulfilling it. We're all different, all weird and wonderful in our own special ways. We all live in different places, do different things and have different needs and desires. K+AR's designs are unique and tailor-made to your site, your environment and the way you live, love, work and play.

 

Whatever the motivation and potential is for your life at home, we can help you realise it.
