ISRAEL NOTTES

Founder and Principal Architect, Israel Nottes Architects

Israel Nottes approaches design through a lens of clarity and restraint. The studio approaches design with close attention to scale, proportion and every day use, creating spaces that are practical, balanced and closely connected to their context.

The living area is anchored by a light-filled stair, where slender vertical balusters and timber treads introduce structure and rhythm. Guest suites open onto a sunken courtyard planted with native vegetation.
