Emma Holmes – Formery Architecture + Interior Design
Emma Holmes is not your average architect. Her work is grounded in storytelling and connection to both the people and the place in which a building is situated. This gentle approach allows her built work to blend in seamlessly with the natural environment. She’s the Director of Formery Architecture & Interior Design and host of Planery, a podcast which provides practical advice on home design, renovation, and building. What sets her apart is her ability to bridge the personal and the professional in ways that feel profoundly human. Her design philosophy is to serve clients with heart, ensuring they feel empowered and not overwhelmed. This means holding the vision (even when things get hard) while offering practical advice and solutions on the emotional rollercoaster of building a home, workplace, or retail environment to ensure the end outcome leaves you feeling fulfilled.
Formerly Architecture + Interior Design is a boutique studio grounded in authenticity and expertise. We take a holistic approach to design to get you from “where to do I even start?” to plans and permits with ease. Our studio creates unique yet functional spaces for humans to live, eat, work and play, enhancing your quality of life through good design. We listen, and work with your brief, budget and timeframe to ensure the best outcome for your project through a collaborative process. Our services include Feasibility Studies, Renovations, Knockdown Rebuild, Townhouse Developments, Rooming Houses and Interior Design.
