Alistair from Secret Design Studio provided exactly what we were after and the services as promised. We were presented with design options that we would not have come up, which is exactly what we needed. Alistair answered all of our questions and then many more. We feel we have a lot more clarity following our Dr Retro house call. Alistair is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about Mid Century renovations, would certainly recommend Secret Designs Studio.

Here is what one of our past Phillip Island clients said about our in-home consultation service.![]()
“I had recently purchased a mid-century house on Phillip Island and was pleasantly surprised to find this unique service when I was looking for renovation ideas.![]()
Alistair was able to make a house call to me when he was visiting another one of his projects on Phillip Island. He brought along his “doctor’s bag” of excellent resources which he had prepared specifically for my house visit. I was very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge and look forward to making use of the design service in the future.”![]()
