Meet our Founders
Peter Alcock
Chief Design Officer
As Chief Design Officer and with over 25 years’ experience in the Interior Design industry, Peter has completed projects both nationally and internationally – including the US, Hong Kong, and Fiji. These projects ranged from small room updates to full home remodels. Peter also has a strong knowledge of renovating strata buildings and adhering to the restrictions that apply to projects within apartment buildings.
It was never a question that Peter would grow to be an Interior Designer. As a child he would have the best decorated cubby house on the block, loved rearranging his family home and colour coding his wardrobe. But his first experience in design started as a Visual Merchandiser for a high-end national retailer which helped build the foundations for his design career, whilst undergoing a Bachelor of Built Environment Interior Design at QUT.
As sought after for his wicked sense of humour and blatant honesty as he is for his unequivocal eye for style, Peter loves getting to know his clients and their needs to create a design outcome that reflects their personal style, budget and family life.
