A nod to mid-century design sits at the heart of the interiors at our Norwood Residence. 

Custom joinery was carefully integrated throughout the open-plan living spaces, creating a sense of warmth whilst maintaining a sense of grandeur throughout.

Don’t rush anything. When the time is right it’ll happen - Buddha

Nan Hai Pu Tup Temple, Sellicks Hill 

Every now and then a Project comes along that challenges your mindset.

When that unfinished journey has already taken 10 years you appreciate the learnings of a “slow build”. 
Nestled within the undulations of an expansive coastal site facing the Fleurieu, The Main Shrine, pictured, is part of a masterplan for the 137 acre retreat, which also includes accommodation, a smaller shrine and the unmistakable 18 metre tall statue of the Goddess of Mercy.
From drawing to building, there is spirituality and meaning in the evolution of each hand made detail, from singular pieces of timber that frame faith to ceremony.

At Tectvs, we believe good design should be accessible.

Mansfield Park, completed in 2024 in conjunction with Anglicare and Believe Housing Australia, provided 37 new affordable homes and 6 specialist disability homes to South Australians. 

The master plan carefully balances a return to the idea of ‘The Village', utilising connective linkages, community gardens and permeability, whilst retaining tenant privacy with careful consideration to safety and diversity of tenants. The development was designed with a strong focus on community and tenant well-being, providing high quality homes to all South Australians.  

We are pleased to announce that the project has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Property Council of Australia Innovation + Excellence Awards for Best Affordable Housing Development.

Awards: 
UDIA SA Awards for Excellence - Project of the Year and Affordable Housing Award (2024)

UDIA National Awards for Excellence (2025) - National Affordable Housing Award (2025)

Mangia bene, bevi bene. 
Eat well, drink well. 

This Italian philosophy became a defining principle of the architecture and interior design of one of our recently completed residences.

The home features bespoke elements highlighting the family’s traditions at its core. Whilst the outdoor kitchen boasts a spacious area for gathering, preparing and sharing delicacies, custom w**e racks line the cellar walls, housing a lifelong collection of w**es to accompany those delicacies.

Faraway House is subtle eccentricity. 

Indaily’s latest words on ‘Magnifying Modernism’ shine a light on the importance of honouring Adelaide’s mid-century architecture. 

In 2010 Tectvs revitalised the building with subliminal exterior improvements and a new interior fit-out, even proposing an additional hidden storey.

In light of the showdown this weekend Tectvs celebrates their contribution to the redevelopment of the Port Adelaide Football Club and Alberton Oval which was completed in the year 2000. 

The architectural expression was drawn from two contrasting sources: suburban character and football club culture. Alberton is predominantly residential and occasionally industrial, providing material references of brick, sandstone, and galvanised metal. The design approach was to create a hardworking building that would withstand heavy wear and tear in a ’streetwise’ suburban environment.
