Ellis Studio has created high quality and functional design solutions for new homes and extensions across Sydney and the Illawarra since 2016. We are based in Oyster Bay, and primarily service the Illawarra where our Director Amy is from, as well as servicing projects all over Sydney and NSW.
Our directors bring nearly 40 years of combined industry experience to each project. Our happy clients are testament to our comprehensive and collaborative process and the care, dedication and knowledge that goes into each project.
We live and breathe functional design, and believe that the design of a home should enhance the lives of those living within. We are dedicated to working with every client to truly understand the way they live and use their home before developing design options that respond to the lifestyle and needs of each client. We intrinsically understand the needs of young and established families.
