Behind the Design
“Design for me, is about finding balance where spaces feel both composed and lived in”
- Pen Melis
I create refined, functional residential interiors for clients who value clarity, trust and thoughtful design leadership. My approach is collaborative yet confident - I listen carefully, interpret precisely and guide each project with experience and care.
With deep experience shaping high-end homes in Perth, I focus on what matters most: strong relationships, design integrity and timeless results. I specialise in interiors that balance elegance with everyday living, shaping layouts, details and finishes that respond to how each client lives while enhancing architectural character.
Every project is grounded in clarity, craftsmanship and considered decision-making - ensuring each detail feels intentional and every space feels calm, resolved and enduring.
“Calm is not the absence of detail, it’s the mastery of it.”
- Pen Melis
Approach
Every project begins with understanding how you live, what you value and the feeling you want your home to hold. From there, I develop concepts that balance form and function, creating spaces that feel intuitive, calm and refined.
I work closely with clients, architects and builders to protect design integrity at every stage - from planning and documentation through to final finishes. My process is structured yet flexible, allowing decisions to unfold thoughtfully and with clarity.
Good design takes time. It grows through collaboration, detail and trust.
Process
Designing a home is a collaborative journey - from understanding how you live to refining every detail.
Each stage is carefully structured to ensure design integrity, clarity, and a seamless experience from concept through to completion.
-
Understanding Your Vision
This first stage focuses on listening, observing, and defining the foundation of your project.
Outcome:
A clear project brief that captures your goals, functional needs, and budget — establishing a strong base for the design phases ahead. -
Exploring Ideas and Flow
This phase turns your brief into design concepts that unite layout, style, and materials.
Outcome:
A clear and cohesive vision that balances function, flow, and aesthetic direction. -
Refining the Design
This phase develops the approved concept into a complete and coordinated design, refining every detail for balance and flow.
Outcome:
A fully resolved design ready for documentation and pricing. -
Translating Design into Detail
This stage documents every aspect of the design to ensure it’s built with clarity and precision.
Outcome:
Comprehensive documentation that protects design integrity during construction. -
Overseeing Execution
During construction, we ensure the design is delivered as intended through regular review and collaboration on site.
Outcome:
A cohesive, finely executed home that realises the design vision in full.
