Lachlan and Ellie founded LANDE on a shared conviction: that architecture and interiors are not separate disciplines, but a single, continuous act of making. Trained across some of Melbourne’s most respected practices, they came together with a mutual fluency in both – and a particular passion for the places where the old and the new hold a conversation.

LANDE operates at the intersection of architecture and interiors, and of heritage and contemporary design. It’s a position they hold deliberately. When the same minds shaping a building’s structure are also considering its interior character from the very outset, something different happens – decisions become more resolved, spaces more cohesive, outcomes richer.

Their work spans new builds and sensitive heritage restorations, always approaching the inherited site with respect for its narrative and ambition for what it might become. Collaborating closely with each client, they draw on the full breadth of their practice – rigorous detailing, spatial empathy, and a considered design sensibility – to deliver outcomes that are functional, evocative, and rich in empathy. Timeless work that continues to surpass expectations.
