Personalized Home Design & Architecture: Fostering Creativity, Comfort and Well-being
Howe Street Residence
At Symbiotic Living Architecture + Design, we believe homes are more than square footage. They are expressions of your story, a canvas where your life unfolds. Our passion lies in human-centered design, crafting spaces that transcend trends and functionality to become a true reflection of you, your family, and your ever-changing needs.
The Power of Personalization
Gone are the days of cookie-cutter interiors. We don't dictate trends; we translate them into a unique composition that reflects your unique lifestyle. We take the time to understand how you truly use your space, the dynamics of your family life, and your personal aesthetic preferences. We also bring our deep experience of working with a wide range of building types and from different periods, to maximise the use and the impact of the space. This personalized design approach ensures your home isn't just visually stunning, but deeply functional and fosters a sense of well-being.
‘Symbiotic Living Architecture + Design have the amazing ability to hear a verbal description of a design goal and transform it into a functional, living piece of art.’ The Clifton Residence, Chicago

Designing for Your Well-being
In this fast-paced world, prioritizing well-being isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
Founded on scientific evidence and our own experiences, thoughtful design has been proven to play a crucial role in overall well-being. Sustainable materials and light-filled spaces minimize environmental impact and promote healthy sleep cycles.
We incorporate elements that encourage connection in communal areas, whilst private sanctuaries offer the perfect space for renewal.
When it aligns with your vision and the project brief, we leverage biophilic design principles. Integrating natural elements and patterns, fosters a direct connection with nature and the outdoors, creating a calming and restorative space.
This holistic approach ensures your home fosters a sense of peace, tranquility, and a connection to your environment, ultimately promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle.
Beyond the Showroom: Crafting Uniquely You
Our vision extends beyond what's available off the shelf. To bring your dreams to life, we collaborate with skilled artisans and craftspeople to design and create bespoke furnishings and features that are inspired by you. This ensures your home reflects your individuality and tells your unique story.
