About Us
Cradle Design
Crafting space into places you’ll love!
Our mission is simple yet profound - to transform the space you live in into a place you'll love. Whether it's a cosy home, a dynamic workplace, or a striking commercial or industrial space, we blend your physical requirements with your emotional desires to create somewhere you can truly thrive.
Driving everything we do is a passion for designing spaces where you can relish life's moments. Drawing on our wealth of architectural experience, ours is a creative role, to inspire your thinking and shape a space that lifts you every day.
We know that working with architects and interior designers isn't an everyday experience. That's why close collaboration and open, transparent communication sit at the heart of every project. Our Cradle Develop Process keeps you across the key milestones and decisions along the way, so your vision and expectations are met at every step.
Cradle's passionate team is led by Paul Lucas and Regan VanderWert-Walsh, who founded the studio in Balgowlah nearly 15 years ago.
Take a look through our portfolio of recent projects. We'd love to hear from you and understand what makes you tick, so we can create a space for you to love.
