The Living Blueprint™
About
Strategic Architectural Interior Design that resolve your plans before you build
Before you build — Resolve how your home will actually Live
01 Plans look right — but won’t work in real life
The Living Blueprint™ applies a considered interior lens — refining layout, circulation, proportion, and spatial flow so your home works intuitively in everyday life, not just on paper.
02 Fear of costly changes after consent
By resolving key interior decisions before consent, The Living Blueprint™ reduces the risk of costly redesigns, variations, and compromises during construction.
03 Architecture is resolved - but the interior experience is not
The Living Blueprint™ bridges the gap between architectural design and lived experience — ensuring your home supports how you move, live, and use each space long-term.
Ideal for: clients seeking foresight, assurance, and alignment before construction begins.
“Before we proceed, we want expert oversight to ensure this will truly work.”

Before You Build — Avoid the “We Should Have Thought of That” Moments
Architectural plans can appear resolved on paper — yet fail in daily use.
-
Spaces feel tight
-
Movement becomes awkward
-
Proportions don’t quite work
These issues are rarely visible until construction is underway — when they are expensive to fix.
The Living Blueprint™ resolves these issues before plans are finalised - ensuring your home functions as well as it looks. Before your plans ever reach the council, this pre-consent Architectural Interior Design consultation — offered exclusively by STUDIO42 - takes a thoughtful look at how your future home will truly live.
It’s where the architectural vision meets the lived experience — aligning form, flow, and feeling to create a home that not only looks exquisite but feels effortlessly right. Because great architecture deserves equally thoughtful interiors!

Why The Living Blueprint™ consultation matters

Changes during construction are expensive and disruptive.

Once plans are lodged, revisions often require redesign, re-consent, and builder variation costs.

2. Where most plans fall short
Even expertly draughted architectural plans can overlook how people actually live in their homes.
-
Kitchens with poor working triangles (the layout between sink, hob, and fridge).
-
Bathrooms with no natural light or awkward access.
-
Bedrooms that can’t comfortably fit a queen bed with side tables.
-
Living spaces that don’t align with outdoor entertaining areas.
The Living Blueprint™ process uncovers these blind spots early. By mapping the movement, furniture, and lighting through every space, it ensures your home design flows naturally and functions beautifully.

Where Architecture Ends — and Living Begins
The consent process ensures compliance — not liveability.
It does not consider how you move through a space, how furniture fits, or how a home feels day to day.
The Living Blueprint™ bridges this gap between architectural precision and interior flow, ensuring your plans pass council approval and deliver daily comfort.
By combining Interior Design insight with practical foresight, this service helps create homes that are compliant, cohesive, and deeply personal. A place where architectural intent becomes soulful living!

"We began our journey to build a new home, and although we’d completed several renovations before, the sheer number of decisions quickly became overwhelming. We decided to bring Elmarié on board through The Living Blueprint™ to help guide us through the process and ensure our ideas came together in a cohesive way. Elmarié has a fantastic eye for design and instantly understood the style we were aiming for. With young children in the house, practical considerations were also really important, and she incorporated these seamlessly into her suggestions. After our initial briefing, she promptly returned with a range of layout options and finishes that suited our vision. At the follow-up meeting, we worked through the pros and cons of each, and by the end we felt confident in our layout and clear on the finishes we wanted. Elmarié’s knowledge and expertise are impressive, and we’d be more than happy to work with her again in the future."
