02 · About ARCADO

A home that
feels like yours.

Designing a home is personal. You need a team that understands your taste, brings ideas you had not thought of, and knows how to make them work.

We start with how you live and what you want your home to make possible. Then we read the site for its best opportunities and shape a design with a character of its own.

Architecture, interiors and engineering are worked through together in our Lane Cove studio. We explain every recommendation, test ideas against your budget and settle practical questions early, so you can decide with confidence.

More about ARCADO

49ARE — Dual Occupancy, Ermington, NSW — 49ARE · ErmingtonArchitecture, interiors and engineering by ARCADO

03 · Design thinking

The strength is
in the connection.

Between floors, between inside and out, between the room and the sky. How spaces connect shapes the character of a home and how it feels to move through it.

04 · Your project, chapter by chapter

From your land
to approval.

Follow one project the way our clients experience it. Six chapters take your site from the first visit to a design that is engineered, documented and lodged, with architects and engineers working side by side.

Your site mapped, your brief clear

It begins on your land, with you. We survey the levels, track the sun, read the fall to the street, the sewer, the trees and your neighbours’ windows, and we listen to how you want to live. Before a line is drawn, your site is mapped and your brief is clear.

The studio · Lane Cove, Sydney

Your home.
Considered from every angle.

Architecture, interiors and engineering, developed together. We look after the whole home and the details you live with every day, from the first drawings to the materials under your hand.

01 · The way we think

Artistic thinking.
Technical resolve.

A home takes shape at different scales: the way rooms open to one another, the light across a wall, the feel of a surface under your hand. We give each of those decisions our attention.

Your brief is the starting point. The site, its surroundings and the way you live show us the possibilities worth pursuing. We bring ideas to the table, listen to your response and develop the design with you.

As the design develops, we resolve structure, materials and construction details alongside it. A generous opening, a slender edge or a floating stair needs both imagination and sound engineering. Solving both together is how the character of a design survives all the way to the finished home.

Arrange a studio visit

02 · Working together

Space for ideas.
Clarity in the decisions.

Creating a home should be enjoyable, and every choice should make sense to you. This is how we work with you.

01

An open conversation

Bring your ideas, questions and doubts. We explain our recommendations and listen to yours, so the design grows around what matters to you.

02

Decisions with context

Before you commit, we show what each choice means for space, appearance, budget and construction, with drawings and materials side by side.

03

Care through the detail

We coordinate design information with your project team. Where our appointment includes construction support, we help resolve queries and review changes as the work progresses.

The wider group

Part of N1 Group.
Focused on your design.

Being part of N1 Group brings construction and procurement experience into the design conversation, so we ask the practical questions early, from material availability to how a detail will be built.

Engage ARCADO for one discipline or the full design team. We agree our role at the start and work closely with your other consultants and your builder.

03 · The team

The people
behind the detail.

Thirteen architects, designers, engineers and project specialists, led by Milad Farrokhi, Head of Architecture, and Dr Amin Noushini, Head of Engineering.

Meet the team

Let’s sit down with your ideas.

Bring your plans, a few references or the questions you are still working through. We can meet at our Lane Cove studio and discuss where to begin.

Ambitious design.
Engineered to be built.

Most projects lose time and money in the gaps between architect, engineer, certifier and builder. ARCADO closes those gaps. One senior-led team handles architecture, interiors, engineering, approvals and contracts, so every decision is made once, with the full picture.

Architecture

A home with character, designed around your site, your life and your budget.

Every site has a best answer. We find it, then make it buildable.

The right orientation, the right volume, the view worth framing. Our architecture team, led by Registered Architect Milad Farrokhi, explores these with you and develops a design with real character, tested against cost, planning controls and buildability at every stage. Milad’s experience managing large-scale BIM projects brings the same discipline to every home we design.

What you get

Site, planning and feasibility analysis
Concept design, photorealistic rendering and VR walkthroughs
Design development and documentation for DA, CDC and construction
Coordination with engineers, certifiers and consultants

Led byMilad FarrokhiHead of Architecture · Registered Architect · NSW ARB 1661

Master’s degrees in Architecture and Construction Project Management. 16+ years in Sydney and internationally, and winner of several international architectural design competitions.

Interior design

Interiors resolved to the last joint, finish and light fitting.

The rooms you live in every day deserve the same rigour as the façade.

We plan how each space works, then design joinery, lighting, materials and finishes as one composition. Our drawings and schedules are precise enough for builders and suppliers to price and build correctly the first time, so the interior you approve is the interior you live in.

What you get

Space planning and furniture layouts
Custom joinery design and detailed drawings
Material, finish, fixture and lighting schedules
Selection reviews and site queries during the build, where included

Led byGhazal HazerbinSenior Designer · Interior design lead

20+ years of design experience. Leads interior design within Milad’s team.

Structural & civil engineering

Long spans, steep sites and bold alterations, made buildable.

Engineering is where ambitious design either survives or gets value-engineered away.

Our engineers sit beside our designers, so structure is part of the design from the first sketch, not added at the end. The result is efficient, buildable structure that protects the architecture, and documentation certifiers and builders can rely on.

What you get

Structural design, calculations and documentation
Footings, slabs, beams, columns and retaining walls
Civil and stormwater design
Assessment of existing structures and alterations
Technical responses during construction, within our appointment

Led byDr Amin NoushiniHead of Engineering

20+ years in structural engineering and project management. Supported by Javid Mahlouji, Structural Engineer, Master of Structural Engineering, 10+ years.

Project management & approvals

One programme and one point of contact, from DA or CDC to handover.

Delays rarely come from one big problem. They come from small decisions left open.

We set the scope, programme and responsibilities at the start, prepare and lodge your DA or CDC with council or a private certifier, and track every consultant, decision and action. You always know what is happening, what comes next and what we need from you.

What you get

Project scope, programme and priorities
DA and CDC preparation and lodgement
Liaison with councils and private certifiers
Consultant coordination, decision tracking and progress reporting

Contract management

Tenders compared line by line. Variations kept under control.

Two quotes for the same home can differ widely. The difference is usually in what is left out.

We compare tenders on a like-for-like basis, expose exclusions and provisional sums, and help you appoint a builder with confidence. During construction we record instructions and variations and report on cost, within the role agreed in our appointment and the building contract.

What you get

Tender documentation and coordination
Like-for-like comparison of inclusions and exclusions
Records of variations, instructions and correspondence

04

Fast, clear communication

One point of contact, a programme you can see and quick answers when questions come up, from the first sketch to handover.

Have a site, a sketch
or a set of plans?

Tell us where you are. In one conversation we can tell you which services you need, what the approval path looks like and what to do next.

Murrua Residence

Classical proportions, a contemporary interior.

The project

Ordered and formal to the street. Warm, layered and quietly detailed inside.

Murrua Residence combines classical proportions with a contemporary interior palette. A tall entrance portico, layered cornices and dark-framed windows give the façade a strong, ordered presence. Inside, herringbone flooring and wall panelling provide warmth and rhythm, complemented by dark joinery and pale veined surfaces. Arched glazing, finely patterned stair balustrades and integrated lighting carry this attention to detail through the interior.

Parkland Residences

Rounded edges, layered light and dark, warm timber.

The project

Two homes behind one calm street front, softened by planting and timber.

Parkland Residences combines rounded balcony edges with a layered palette of light and dark finishes. Vertical screens and timber-toned detailing give the façade depth, while planting softens the approach to each home. Inside, herringbone flooring connects the open living spaces, with dark cabinetry and a veined kitchen island providing contrast. Floating bathroom joinery and rounded mirrors echo the softer forms of the exterior.

Classical mouldings, black iron, warm light.

The project

Two homes behind one classical front: deep cornices, arched windows and black iron balconettes.

A duplex in Rydalmere. The front reads as one classical house, with layered cornices, square columns and a deep ledge between the floors. Arched and tall black-framed windows open to iron balconettes, lit by wall lanterns. Black panelled garage doors sit side by side behind a cobbled driveway, and low rendered piers with black railings and white hydrangeas run along the street.

Oatlands

Pale stone, deep cornice, a lantern over the door.

The project

A symmetrical stone front with a lantern-lit entry, set behind a low wall and a slim black fence.

A single house in Oatlands. The front is near-symmetrical: pale stone-look panels under a deep, moulded cornice, large black-framed windows with Juliet balconies, and a full-height glazed bay above the front door where a lantern hangs. Stone steps rise from the gate between rendered piers. To one side, a screen of tall stone fins runs past the stair, and the garage sits set back under its own cornice.

Denistone West

White render, soft arches, warm timber.

The project

Two homes behind one low stone wall, with arches, timber and a breeze-block screen.

A dual occupancy in Denistone West. The two homes share one calm street front: textured white render with rounded corners, arched openings lined with timber battens, a perforated breeze-block screen and planter boxes spilling greenery. A low wall of pale stone with bronze gates runs along the street. At the back, each home steps down to the garden through a terrace under a black louvred pergola, a stone stair beside a water spout, and its own plunge pool. Inside, fluted joinery, veined stone and walnut set the tone, from the kitchen to bathrooms finished in brushed brass or matte black.

01

Milad Farrokhi

Head of Architecture · Registered Architect · NSW ARB 1661

Milad has extensive experience across residential and multi-residential architecture, with a strong focus on design, planning strategy and project delivery.

His strength lies in finding clear architectural solutions for complex sites — balancing planning controls, functionality and commercial realities without losing the quality of the design. His experience spans high-end homes, dual occupancies, townhouses and apartment buildings, from early concept and approvals through to detailed construction documentation.

Milad takes a practical, hands-on approach to architecture, with particular attention to proportion, materiality, natural light and creating buildings that respond carefully to their setting.

He leads ARCADO’s architecture team, holds master’s degrees in Architecture and in Construction Project Management, has managed large-scale BIM projects, and has won several international architectural design competitions.

04 · How the studio works

Design and engineering,
side by side.

Each project brings the relevant disciplines together from the outset, with one team responsible for the whole picture.

01

Architecture

Planning, form and the way a home is lived in, developed from the site and your brief.

02

Interiors

Joinery, materials, lighting and the surfaces you see and touch every day.

03

Engineering

Structural and civil design resolved alongside the architecture, not after it.

04

Approvals & delivery

DA and CDC lodgement, project and contract management that keep the design intent intact through construction.
