Bringing Ideas to Life.
After understanding your vision, we create initial design concepts that reflect your aspirations. This phase focuses on exploring possibilities and establishing the overall direction of the project.

Once the concept design is approved, we develop the details, refining the design to ensure it meets your functional and aesthetic requirements, and aligns with regulations.

What our Customers Say
We were looking to build dual occupancy townhouses but couldn't find what we wanted. So I spent some time looking for a architect and came across JKob who was very accommodating and helped us with designing our project. We found Jakub very easy to work with bouncing idea's around to come up with a design we were happy with. Jakub also did a lot of running for us and dealing with the council which was fantastic, and saved us a lot of time and headaches. Will definitely recommend JKob..
William Sirianni
Jakub designed our 2x Townhouse project in Sandringham and was a pleasure to work with.
Would highly recommend JKOB Architect’s:
- His knowledge through the design phase when it came to local council requirements was excellent
- His continued support through the build process and willingness to see the highest quality project delivered was a great resource1

Jakub from Jkob Architects has been brilliant to work with, having used his architectural design services recently for our acreage family home and previously for a spec home rebuild and townhouse development. In every case he has provided excellent client service, demonstrated extensive industry knowledge, great value for money, and shown a commitment to perfecting a beautiful and functional design that met our design brief in every case. His communication and timeliness is impeccable, and his willingness to help us navigate issues along the way and provide workable solutions was of huge benefit. Designing your own home can be stressful, though Jakub's professionalism and expertise put us at ease every time. We can't recommend Jkob Architects enough, thanks Jakub.
Alison Rault
Our journey with our Peninsula development started 3 long years ago. We struck gold by finding the wonderful Jakub.
Jakub walked us through our options early days and it was very easy to work one on one with him. He was very professional and lovely to deal with. Jakub always gave us advice and feedback on ways to maximise our development design. Back and forth with council was less daunting by having Jakub by our side. He broke things down to easily understand a lot of the ins and outs of applications and permits.
Moving through the stages of concept to WD’s to then completion, it was easier than past projects and my husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.
We are in awe of our home. We love that it has a homely warmth to it whilst showcasing an architectural flare.
Thank you Jakub. We can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. If I could give a 1000 star review I would! We are very happy customers and I would 100% recommend Jkob Architects for your next project.
Hayley Cardozo
My husband & I were incredibly fortunate to engage Jakub Szopka from DnC Studio to draw up our plans for our dual occupancy build. From the very outset, we found Jakub to be a very honest and personable person.
We were extremely impressed by his conceptual design knowledge, transparency and responsiveness when answering our calls and emails throughout the entire process. This is the first time we have undertaken a dual occupancy project so Jakub’s guidance and advice was invaluable and very reassuring.
Jakub’s meticulous attention to detail was incredible and we always said that he attended to our project as if it was his own. At no time did we feel intimidated when discussing any of the changes we wished to make. It is for the above reasons why we have no hesitation in recommending Jakub to anyone in the future.
