About

hecticrAt is driven by a commitment to artistic freedom through functional architecture and an uncompromising dedication to sustainable luxury

The name hecticrAt is an anagram of the word Architect. This speaks to each design, a unique solution - proudly free from convention or rules -  to the challenges and opportunities presented and grounded in our philosophy that nature and architecture go hand in hand.

A patch of dappled sunlight, a cool summer breeze, or a still pond… are as much the building blocks of architecture as bricks. Discover more about our unique architectural philosophy.

Cohesive relationship between building and landscape

We focus on sustainable, green designs and aim for light-filled, open-plan spaces with access to nature where possible. This cohesive relationship between buildings and landscape helps shape a successful design in our eyes.

Proudly untethered from a specific style, we take the time to understand your unique vision to ensure your needs are met and exceeded.
