So what makes CG Design Studio unique? With qualifications in both interior and building design, we offer solutions that are more than just interior design. Our team is well versed in renovations, extensions, constructions and fit-outs, and uses this expertise to improve the potential of any space before executing our flair for interior decoration.
Collaboration is crucial in the design and construction industry. This is why we work closely with our team of trusted project managers, construction crews and other built environment specialists to ensure projects are completed on time, on budget and to the highest standards. When it comes to making sure the outside of your home matches the inside, luckily there are easy ways to do this yourself, for example, using storage sheds to de-clutter, especially as you can now get sheds with real style and functionality.
When it comes to commercial projects, we understand the importance of branding. This is why we collaborate with creative agencies outside of the build industry to ensure optimum marketing and branding for your commercial enterprise.

Studio Director & Head Interior/Building Designer
Diploma of Interior and Building Design
Christopher founded CG Design Studio in 2014 after 10 years of experience as a Senior Interior Designer at a leading Brisbane design firm.
When he was gifted his first drawing board at nine, Christopher had a passion for sketching homes. Extensive childhood travels, taking in the grand old buildings of Europe and the elaborate decorations of Asia, then opened his mind to the possibilities of architecture and design.
“I find a lot of my inspiration comes from travel and new experiences. Absorbing the ideas surrounding how others live within, decorate and use spaces in different countries and cultures sparks curiosity inside me and prompts the consideration of how these concepts can be integrated into CG projects.”
Christopher’s style is ever-evolving, taking cues from a building’s past and how clients live, responding to each bespoke project in a way that will enhance their lifestyle.
“I like to get the details right and then overlay the aesthetics”. Christopher thoroughly enjoys the process of manipulating and rearranging spaces for optimal functionality before overlaying beautiful elements to resolve the design.
With hotel design prevalent among Christiopher’s accolades, an ever-present goal would be to combine his love of travel and design by expanding his portfolio across Asia’s luxury resort scene.
“I love how great hotels in the Asian Pacific combine luxury with the intricacy of local craftsmanship. It also sounds like a fabulous site visit.”

Julia is inspired by built environments that have the ability to transform how you feel. Beautiful, well-designed, relaxed spaces that can still evoke a sense of liveliness.
As a designer, Julia is passionate about spaces that have a great atmosphere and leave a lasting impression. Julia endeavours to undertake further projects across the boutique hotel, restaurant, and bar sectors.
“It is exciting to be awarded the unique creative freedom that comes with hospitality projects.”
Regarding residential design, Julia is drawn to light, earthy, open spaces that embody indoor-outdoor connection, well-suited to the Queensland lifestyle. In contrast, Julia also has an affinity for interiors that have moments of encapsulating warmth and richness, resulting in a dynamic and layered approach to design.
From robust stones, warm timbers and soft organic fibres, Julia loves natural materials and their unique textural diversity. “Sourcing materials and finishes that form a diverse yet harmonious palette and applying them conceptually in 3D form is the beginning of an enthralling process, which transcends further as the functionality of the space comes to fruition”.
Julia enjoys travelling to islands with picturesque natural beauty and a strong sense of culture. “Among my favourite destinations are Mykonos, Majorca, and Isla Mujeres. For me, holidays are for relaxing on a stunning beach and having the luxury of enjoying local cuisine right there on the sand”.

Maximising a space’s potential and intricately studying the project's design opportunities is at the forefront of Adrià’s design ethos. The concept stage is where his passion lies; “The constant exploration of ideas and the dynamic brainstorming involved in this stage are always exciting”.
Regarding working drawings, Adrià’s technical skill and level of detail are second to none.
Adrià is appreciative of well-designed fittings and objects to incorporate into his projects. He has the ability to source unique pieces, such as artisanal lighting from all corners of the globe, giving his projects a bespoke edge.

In her design response, Lauryn strongly emphasises honouring a project's original architectural character and historical features while viewing the space’s potential through a fresh and innovative lens.

Lauryn’s ability to achieve thoughtful interiors stems from her youthful yet mature design approach, amalgamating past and future aesthetics and details.
“I love drawing on design characteristics from past eras and giving it a new spin on life by blending aspects of modern contemporary architecture. I think the blend of both past and future design helps create a space that will withstand the test of time.”
Regarding holiday destinations, Lauryn fell in love with the South Island of New Zealand.
