Our Director
Your Building Designer
John Nates
John Nates is the name behind some of Melbourne's most well designed and livable homes. He is our Director and your personal building designer at Nates Building Design.
John has over 20 years’ experience in all forms of residential, commercial, retail, industrial, educational and services design, documentation and consulting. Starting in the industry as a structural engineer, John soon discovered his passion lay in the design aspects of a project. John then joined a building design practice before co-founding Nates Adams Building Design and now Nates Building Design.
John marries his love of design with his technical knowledge to produce documentation for an extensive portfolio of residential and commercial developments. John has also subcontracted documentation work to a number of Australia’s top residential developers.
John takes the time to consult with every Nates Building Design client on an individual basis.
Our Capability
We have over 20 years’ experience in all forms of residential, commercial, retail, industrial, educational and services design, consulting and documentation. We've worked with many and varied clients, from individuals and families; through to tier one construction companies statewide, across Victoria.
When it comes to home building design, we love to partner with our customers to design their dream home, whether that's a large family home or a modest 2 bedroom unit, we cater for all home building design requirements. We service the south eastern, eastern and north eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Our Process - It's all about you
Our boutique practice offers clients intimate access to the design and documentation process with the founder of the business, John Nates.
Each of our projects are as unique as our individual clients. Each design is thoroughly thought out and not given to a premeditated design or style. It's all about you. Context and functionality go hand in hand with appropriate detailing in our designs, to deliver documentation that ensures a smooth construction process.
