Bayside City Council

Architeria Architects in Brighton, Brighton East, Black Rock, Beaumaris, Cheltenham, Hampton, Hampton East, Highett and Sandringham.

Architeria Architects provide architectural services in Bayside City Council Area, both commercial and residential architecture.

Brighton oozes of history and the heritage architecture includes both Victorian and Edwardian style homes. Preserving the cultural heritage of Victoria is important and whilst contemporary homes are becoming more noticeable in Brighton, the classical homes inspired by Edwardian or French Provincial styles are very popular. While Bayside City Councill is careful in approving homes that are of “mock-Georgian” style and where setbacks are adhered to merely as a” tick box” for compliance, many councillors are advocating for good quality architectural firms rather than drafts people, which we completely agree with.

Beach Road from Brighton to Black Rock showcases homes of a variety of architectural styles, mainly designed to captivate the ocean views, however nestled amongst the leafy streets away from the beach, we find old, preserved dwellings of cultural significance and carefully considering the neighbourhood characteristics of the area in new designs is a balancing act and should be undertaken only by good architects.

Architeria Architects’ love and respect for heritage dwellings is evident in the way they undertake restoration of heritage dwellings, and the classical and timeless homes they respectfully design. Our extensive experience with Bayside Council makes us a suitable choice for an architecturally designed home or development within the areas of Brighton and Black Rock.

As an interior designer, I have had the privilege of designing some of the most enchanting home offices and workspaces, reading nooks, and libraries. The demand for a good office space at home is growing by the day. A space where we can close the door, not be disturbed while hosting those Zoom meetings.

A good friend once shared a simple yet deeply moving story with me. An elderly man, taking his last breaths, is lying in a hospital bed. A nurse walks in, looks at him kindly, and asks, ‘Have you had fun, darling?’ That question lingers with me. At the end of our journey, we will all face a mo

The Parkwood Tales – Interior Design of a Classic Home

Designing Parkwood allowed us to do everything we cherish and love. As a classic home drawing influences from period homes, the interiors had to complement the exterior and feel authentic to what we wanted to achieve.
