At ONYX, we specialise in architectural drafting, documentation and the creation of custom home designs, ensuring that every bespoke, quality home we design gives its owners that special feeling each time they walk through the front door.
We provide a complete design solution, incorporating lifestyle ambitions, energy efficiency and passive design principles, site location and orientation, and perhaps the most crucial factor: budget.
When it comes to a typical project, ONYX provides three stages of core services, which are required for obtaining the necessary council approvals and ultimately construction. These form an integral part of the process of taking ideas, and turning them into actionable drawings.
The first and most important stage of the design process. This is where we begin to take those ideas, and develop initial concept designs of your custom home.
A complete set of technical drawings for council approval and construction. These also allow engineers and other consultants to provide their reports.
With comprehensive knowledge on council application requirements, we take full control of all submissions to councils, engineers, and other third party services to get your project across the line.
📌 CROWS NEST
Country living at its finest!
Surrounded by rolling hills and breathtaking coastline, this property captures the essence of rural charm and South Coast living. Originally designed by Architect, Peter Dungey LFRAIA, ONYX was entrusted with the task of developing the construction drawings and documentation for this unique project.
In harmony with the original home, the skillfully crafted annexe features a thoughtful blend of stone, masonry, concrete, steel, and timber, ensuring it will stand the test of time.
Draftsman vs Architect — what’s the difference?
If you’re planning a new build or renovation, here’s a quick guide 👇
Draftsman (like ONYX):
• Focus on functional, cost-effective design
• Perfect for renovations, extensions + new homes
• Offer detailed, council-ready drawings
Architect:
• Often design larger or more complex projects
• Provide concept-heavy, bespoke architectural designs
• Usually come with higher design fees
At ONYX, we bridge the gap delivering smart, creative designs that get approved faster and built easier.
Because design should work for you.
