REGIONAL DESIGN :: @studioTakt was established som

REGIONAL DESIGN :: @studioTakt was established some 16 years ago when, ahead of the trend, Katharina Hendel and Brent Dunn moved to the South Coast of New South Wales for a sea-change.

They created Takt for meaningful buildings that enhance life and explore the possibilities of site, light, material and sustainability.

Katharina and Brent have personal knowledge of the devastating 2019 New Year’s Eve fires in Cobargo, a town in the Bega Valley, and Lake Conjola of New South Wales. Their approach to the ruination was to literally work through the grief and become involved in the re-design and re-building of these communities.
