Wave Apartments — Terrigal exterior

We love the bush. We love living in the beautiful Central Coast and we love designing houses that are in the bush, near the bush or have a tiny glimpse of the bush.

We want to bring the bush into people's homes.

Watercolour by Good Architect — Jay Chubb's Strawbale Home at Narara Ecovillage
We engaged Shea Cullen at Good Architect to design our EcoVillage dream house. On past projects I'd engaged award-winning 'starchitects' and enjoyed the high standard of design and utility. Shea was less famous and more affordable — but my goodness did she deliver beyond our expectations! Shea is an absolute professional, with equal parts creativity, inspiration, technical mastery and ability to listen. She worked with us patiently, she took on all our preferences and requests, and became a champion for what was possible. We never felt pressured to go a certain way, Shea adapted to a change in block and changes in timing. She was always more than fair with fees, and very flexible in her approach. Shea's background as a sketch artist who'd travelled the world on a scholarship sketching architecture was what drew us to her work, alongside her beautiful use of curved, natural forms in sustainable contexts. Her sketches brought our dreams and visions to life better than any CAD program I've seen. The sketches with watercolour were a much-loved part of the process. It really is what it says on the sign: Good Architect!
