About
We believe architecture should deliver value and delight in equal measure — creating spaces that become the backdrop for the rituals of everyday life.
Approach
Every project begins with listening. Understanding our clients' values, aspirations and how they want to live, alongside a careful reading of site and context. From there, a strong design idea is established and held throughout every phase, from concept through to construction. We are rigorous about this.
Regardless of scale, every project receives the same commitment to inventive thinking, material exploration, a meaningful connection between building and landscape, and sustainable outcomes.
We work in close collaboration with clients, consultants, builders and trades, and value clear communication above all else. Aligning scope, budget and ambition early means the design process can be what it should be: exciting, generative and shared.
People
Fiona has spent fifteen years across cultural, residential and educational projects — from museums and galleries to apartment buildings and family homes — with some of the best practices on the east coast. That breadth shaped a clear design philosophy: iterative rigour at every stage, paired with an optimism that refuses to take itself too seriously.
Fiona returned to Perth to raise her daughter near the beach, settling in East Fremantle for its character homes, walkable streets and community spirit. After time with a local practice to understand the WA landscape, she founded Studio Plaisted in 2026.
From first conversation through to completion, Fiona is your architect. The studio is built around a direct, collaborative relationship — invested in getting it right, together.
