Margaret River Architects
Creating spaces that inspire and endure in the Southwest
NM Design is an architecture studio based in the heart of Margaret River, led by Registered Architect Nicola Marchesi. As Margaret River architects, with over a decade of experience delivering thoughtful, client-focused projects, the practice is dedicated to creating architecture that reflects the unique character of the South-west.
Our experience as specialist heritage architects, with backgrounds in conservation building work, informs a sensitive approach to designing with existing buildings and sites, carefully considering how to renovate, extend, enhance, and modernise while respecting the original fabric.
Our goal is to create timeless architecture with long-term value, not passing trends. We achieve this through thoughtful planning, considered materials, and forms that respond to their context. Every detail is designed to contribute to a cohesive, lasting outcome that fits within its context.

Considered architecture design
achieved through collaboration
At NM Design, every project begins with a conversation. We listen carefully and collaborate closely to understand your needs, your site, and how you want to live or work. Whether it’s a new home, a renovation, an extension, or a commercial or community building, our role is to guide the process, not dictate it.
As experienced Southwest architects, we combine creative thinking with technical know-how to deliver architecture that reflects how you want to live and work—now and into the future.
We believe that the design journey should be as memorable as the final result, creating not just a building, but an experience to be valued for years to come.
