ABOUT US
Architecture Interior for Australian Living
Cinder Lake is a Perth-based studio shaping homes and workplaces that feel calm, grounded, and distinctly Australian. We begin with attentive listening—how you move through the day, what you value, and which moments you want a room to hold. From that brief we choreograph light, texture, and proportion so every surface serves a purpose and every corner breathes.
Our material library champions hardwearing timbers, natural stone, linen, clay tones, and matte metals. We collaborate with WA cabinetmakers and metalworkers to craft joinery that ages gracefully and hides complexity behind quiet lines. Palettes remain restrained to soften glare and invite clarity, while storage integrates seamlessly into the architecture.
Design
Scaled plans, joinery details, material boards, and 3D visuals turn intent into an actionable story.
Delivery
Procurement, trade coordination, installation, and styling—finished with gallery-level care.

Sustainability
We specify long-lasting materials, reduce waste through smart planning, and work with local makers. The goal is simple: interiors that feel good today and tread lightly tomorrow.

We prioritise paints, adhesives, and sealants with minimal emissions to protect indoor air quality.
- Independent emission certificates
- Water-based sealers where suitable
Local Suppliers
Australian timber, stone, and cabinetry partners reduce transport, support craft, and improve lead times.
- WA joinery and metalwork network
- Shorter freight, smaller footprint
Longevity First
Durable details and timeless palettes lower maintenance and waste over time—lasting beauty is the most sustainable choice.
- Repairable, modular components
- Classic proportions over trends
