Welcome to Aboda Design Group,
Building and Interior Design practice established in 2009.
Aboda Design Group was founded in 2009 by Directors Lee Foster and Scott Falconer with a passion to design and helping deliver bespoke homes, with a strong focus on client collaboration, acknowledgement of context, climate, environment and highly successful outcomes with all of our project partners.
Designing and overseeing the construction of a home can be a lengthy and emotive process for our clients and we strongly believe in a consultative relationship focused on an ability to listen, explain and test ideas. This results in work that reflects the goals of our clients and is supported by expertise in refining the brief to deliver a cohesive and elegant design outcome.
