Mim Design is a diverse, creative practice that specialises in the design of interior environments. “The key to our creative process is to provide something new and inspiring that captures and surprises the senses. It is our philosophy to produce unique individual holistic design results that are reflective of the client and/or the brand.” With considerable experience delivering projects within residential, retail, hospitality and corporate Mim Design has become a company that equates itself to the customisation of interior design to suit each individual project. Mim Design believes all facets of design are essential in delivering a successful project; our studio has collaborated with like-minded Designers, Architects and Graphic Designers achieving outstanding results. Mim Design’s holistic approach aims to create design spaces that are not only of sophisticated form, but are refined in detail and concerned with bringing the qualities of the client personality and individual brand into the design and project. Mim Design approaches each project individually and constantly seeks new and innovative ways to approach and solve design needs. We also take advantage of opportunities that are unique to each project.

CA Architects has been practicing in Cairns for over 30 years and is recognized in its own right as one of the region’s leading design practices. Our designs reflect the knowledge and understanding we have of the environment and lifestyle of the far North. CA’s work extends through office, institutional and commercial architecture with a focus on Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD). The principal areas where CA Architects will add significant value to the project are: • Local knowledge & experience with projects in tropical regions • Understanding of urban planning principles • Proven track record in providing quality design to government and commercial clients • A culture of personal service tailored to each commission ensuring a smooth and efficient design and approval process • Expertise in specific requirements such as accessibility and low maintenance solutions in regional tropical locations It is of value in our view that we have proven our ESD design and analytical methodology on the 9000 m2 NLA William McCormack Place project in Cairns as well as the McClintock residence, a small one bedroom residence outside Kuranda, and can thus directly translate this tropic region refined ability to the Rainforest Observatory Project. We continually demonstrate that good design, sustainable buildings and affordability are not mutually exclusive. Technologies & Capabilities Our capabilities include: • Master planning • Project management • Concept design • Documentation • Contract administration • ESD/Green Star submissions • Building audits The building information modelling “Revit” enables us to produce accurate 3D models of the design as an integral part of our design process throughout the project.
