Designing for Quality, Liveability, and Enduring Value: buck&simple’s Approach to Residential and Multi-Residential Architecture
At buck&simple, we are a design-driven architecture and interior design studio committed to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the inherent beauty of simplicity. Established in 2013 in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches by directors Peter James Ahern and Kurt Crisp, our focus is delivering architectural and interior design excellence in high-end residential projects.
“Alongside Australia’s leading designers, including SJB, Tobias Partners, Madeleine Blanchfield, and Luigi Rosselli, buck&simple continues to explore design-led solutions that elevate residential living.”
Expertise Across Typologies
While bespoke single residences remain the core of our practice, we are also certified to deliver select Class 2 residential projects, including premium multi-residential and mixed-use developments. These are undertaken by invitation, with a focus on opportunities where architectural integrity, enduring value, and design excellence elevate everyday living.
Every project we take on, whether a private home or a multi-residential development, is treated with the same level of care and attention. Our limited project intake ensures that every client receives a fully considered and coordinated design solution, tailored to the site, context, and lifestyle of the end users.
Full-Service Design for Exceptional Outcomes
buck&simple prioritises full-service engagement, providing complete architectural, joinery, and interior design packages. This approach delivers higher quality outcomes, with benefits including:
- more accurate early pricing and ongoing cost management
- improved construction programming and efficiency
- price variation management
- ongoing client-side representation
- simplified procurement processes
- assurance of a high-quality end result
Our team thrives on complex and unique sites, including steeply sloping parcels where aspect and view maximisation are paramount. By integrating architecture, interiors, and construction coordination, we ensure projects are delivered efficiently, on schedule, and to the highest standards.
Recognition and Brand Association
Our work has been recognised in EST Living’s Go-To Designers list and featured by Co-Architecture among Sydney’s leading architecture practices. Being highlighted alongside Australia’s most esteemed studios reinforces our commitment to excellence and positions buck&simple within the national conversation on high-quality residential architecture.
Design Philosophy: Simplicity, Liveability, Enduring Value
At the heart of every project is our design philosophy: simplicity, clarity, and an unwavering focus on liveability. Whether crafting a bespoke family home or a luxury multi-residential development, we prioritise enduring value, material integrity, and a sense of calm that enhances the everyday experience of the spaces we create.
