building + landscape design


about

With a focus on sustainability, Terra Spatial creates new builds and retrofits existing buildings to be more beautiful, ecological, functional, and adaptable and to achieve resiliency against floods and bushfire when required.

Salli Prendergast is the design director of Terra Spatial, a building and landscape design studio that has created high quality, sustainable design for residential projects in northern NSW since 1999.

Through collaboration with clients, consultants and with a sensitivity to the site, Salli believes that design can create a greater well-being for the inhabitants and their environment.

Terra Spatial is a full-service design practice that specialises in custom residential buildings and landscapes that feel inviting, light and modern.

If you're looking to do a new build or alterations and additions to your existing home, and want to make it really special, let's chat.

process

  • 1. connect

    You have an idea for a project or a problem to solve?  We meet and define a client brief together which details exactly what you want to achieve, your budget and the scope of our work.  A thorough analysis of the site and the feasibility of the project is also undertaken.

  • 2. create

    The design phase starts with initial sketches, exploring the possibilities, creating a space that is meaningful to you and progressing to more detailed drawings and specifications.

  • 3. collaborate

    The developed design documents then form the basis for liaising with a team of technical experts such as engineers, achieving council approval and obtaining construction quotes.  If required, we can also work through the delivery of the project to its built form, guiding and advocating for you every step of the way to ensure your house or garden is finished in a timely manner and on budget.

testimonials

What people are saying...

"Salli has helped me to design and produce building plans for council submission on our previous two multi-unit development projects. Prior to that, I was using an award-winning architect on multiple projects over the past 15 years. I have found Salli to be very professional and accomplished in her building design work and computer drawing ability. She is very easy to work with and has excellent client relation skills. I have no hesitation in recommending Salli for any building design and documentation work."

Ian, Ocean Shores

"I feel totally blessed and relieved that Salli was our architectural designer. She not only found clever solutions but helped us through every step of the way. Salli listens & takes the time to explains things. She follows through all the way. Rarely have I met someone like Salli who knows their trade to such a degree but communicates with everyone with gentle knowledgeable radiance.

We are so glad that we met Salli."

Daniella and Patrick, Byron Bay

"It was a pleasure to work with Salli on the design, documentation and approval of our new dream home. She listened to our ideas and incorporated our vision into the architectural design. She made suggestions to help us achieve what we really wanted while keeping within our budget. She guided us through the whole process. Communicating with us and keeping us involved and informed each step of the way. She was very professional and efficient in ensuring everything was progressing smoothly. We highly recommend working with Salli."

Karchung and Alicia, Green Pigeon

 

"It was a delight to work with Salli on my recent rebuild and I was very happy with the results we agreed on.  The original house was raised after being flooded, and Salli designed the stairs, porch, a ramp to the back door, a new bathroom and an extension to the existing deck with a beautiful new roof.  It was great to have her negotiate on my behalf with engineers, Council, etc, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.  I am still loving my house … it is so comfortable and light, particularly when I hear the rain and feel completely safe."

Christine, South Golden Beach
