We offer house call visits for homeowners who need

We offer house call visits for homeowners who need professional advice about renovations and improvements but don’t want to engage an architect for full design services. This service has helped over 1,000 mid-century homeowners plan their renovations and includes a custom-made design report based on the style of their home, their specific needs, and the location.

Our Black Friday Gift Certificates have a face-value of $600 which can go towards a home visit consultation for those people in the Melbourne metro area, or a virtual visit consultation over Zoom for those people outside the Melbourne metro area. The cost of a Black Friday Gift Certificate is $500 representing a saving of $100.

Combined with the fixed 2024 fees for Gift Certificate holders this will represent a saving of $200 if you purchase a Black Friday Gift Certificate before the end of November 2024.
If you want to snap up this limited offer please contact me an I will send you information about purchasing and redeeming your gift certificate in 2025.

You may not have noticed but Secret Design Studio

You may not have noticed but Secret Design Studio has had a bit of a sabbatical from social media. In the background we are still doing our personalised design reports, in-home consultations and online Zoom consultations across Australia for the custodians of mid-century homes.

Our most recent regional in-home consultation was to GB’s mid-century modern home in Ballarat, and she kindly left this feedback:
“Alistair recently visited my home to provide advice on renovations. He was very knowledgeable, took the time to understand my ideas and offered practical, creative suggestions that I hadn’t considered. Alistair’s friendly and professional approach means I now feel confident to begin much thought-about renovations. I'm very happy with the experience.”

If you are thinking about renovating your home (of any era) in 2025 then you may want to snap up one of our ten Black Friday Gift Certificates and save $200 on a 2025 consultation. Message me, or drop me an email to alistair@secretdesignstudio.com. If you are one of the many who missed out on our 2023 Christmas Gift Certificates last year then act today (as I am not doing Christmas Gift Certificates this year).

If you are not sure how a “Dr Retro House Call” can help with your renovation vision then feel free to visit our “Past Clients” website page for client reviews from around Australia.

Secret Design Studio has been fostering “Charlie

Secret Design Studio has been fostering “Charlie Cheeseburger” who is a beautiful 3-year-old greyhound from the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) for the past 4 weeks. He has learnt so much while staying with us about living in a home, toilet training, sharing with other dogs, and being a delightful, low maintenance companion. His favourite activities are playing fetch with squeaky soft toys, watching TV which has doggy content, sleeping and gentle, short walks.
He has been a lovely house guest but sadly are arrangement with GAP is that we have to return him this Wednesday 17th. It will be a big wrench for our household but we are not in a position to adopt a third largish dog.
He will make one lucky household very happy. If your life has a Charlie Cheeseburger size hole, and you may consider adopting a greyhound through GAP, feel free to contact me directly if you would like to know more about Charlie or the joys of living with greyhounds. #GAP #greyhounds #greyhoundsmakegreatpets #greyhound #greyhoundlove

#SupplierSaturday. “The Australian Women’s Wee

#SupplierSaturday. “The Australian Women’s Weekly Shows How to Live Better Electrically” was a supplement to the October 16 1957 issue to promote the use of electricity and the wonders of electrical appliances to Australian householders. It’s interesting to note that new homes in the 21st century are also promoted to be all-electrical to get away from natural gas, and to take advantage of solar power. I will be sharing more supplier advertising from this publication in future weeks. From Secret Design Studio's magazine archives. #womensweekly #livebetterelectrically
