Dieppe Design

Dieppe Design is a design practice in Neutral Bay, Sydney, led by principals Nora and Ed, offering architectural and interior design services for residential and commercial projects. Its Lunchbox projects show a practice comfortable with demanding briefs, from the toughest bushfire requirements to the Passivhaus standard.

Deepwater House in Castle Cove sits on a site rated BAL-FZ, the highest Bushfire Attack Level. The owner arrived with a concept by an architect friend; Dieppe Design developed it to meet the Flame Zone requirements while keeping the minimal, glass-filled home he had in mind. Glover Passivhaus turns a long-vacant Californian bungalow into a comfortable, energy-efficient home through a Passivhaus renovation. Fourth House keeps the Federation façade of a Lower North Shore home and adds a modern extension hidden from the street, rather than knocking it down.
