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 residential abode, a dynamic workplace, or a captivating commercial or industrial space, we expertly blend your physical requirements with your emotional desires.

At the core of our service lies a burning passion for creating spaces where you can thrive and relish life's moments. Through our wealth of architectural design experience, our role is one of creativity… to inspire your thinking and to deliver an inspirational space.

We recognise that working with architects and interior designers is not an everyday experience. Central to a successful outcome is close collaboration and free flowing, transparent communication. Our Cradle Develop Process serves to share the key milestones and decisions along the way, ensuring that your vision and expectations are delivered. 

We have a passionate team at Cradle, led by Paul Lucas and Regan VanderWert-Walsh, who established the design studio in Balgowlah nearly 15 years ago.  

Please take some time to look through our portfolio of recent projects. We’d love to hear from you and understand what makes you tick so we can work with you to create a space for you to love.
