About Home&Maker
The Only Online Architect & RIBA Chartered Practice
ArchitectHow It All Started
Home & Maker is the brainchild of design entrepreneur Isabella Open, who believes that everybody deserves a well designed home, and industry insider Nathan McNamara who uses his professional know-how to connect homeowners with talented designers for an affordable price. Together, they formed Home & Maker - an online architecture service that designs dream homes at unbeatable value.
Built on these strong foundations, at Home & Maker we recognise the need for reliable home design services, budgeting and advice no matter how big or small your project is. Whether you are remodelling, extending or building from the ground up – we’ve seen it all! Working across seven offices means we might be closer to home than you think. And when we're closer to home, you're closer to dream home.
Home & Maker is the result of many years of home design and construction experience. We are online architects focused on designing great homes at an affordable price. Let us make your extension ideas or dreams of a brand new home a reality!
