Functional, beautiful buildings that don't cost the earth - VIC
page_type: prop_plus_profile
Specialising in residential design, at Lume we strive to create buildings that lift the spirit, make life easier and contribute to the built environment in an innovative, sustainable and pleasing manner.
Typically, our clients:
- allow the form of the building to develop in response to its site and function;
- value quality of light over quantity of space; and
- appreciate the natural beauty of raw materials, such as timber, cement and stone, which must be delicately balanced with the structure.
Though we care about meeting our clients' varying needs as they pass through the stages of life, we design each building as if it were our own. In committing ourselves to a project, we take on the responsibility of ensuring our craftsmanship is of a quality that will be enjoyed and appreciated long after we are gone.
We are passionate about making functional, beautiful buildings that don't cost the earth..

We are deeply grateful and lucky to have had Lynnsay architect our forever home.
She took what seemed an enormously overwhelming undertaking and made it not only confidently achievable, but also such a pleasant process. She really listened to what we were seeking to achieve and also wasn’t afraid to patiently push back on our ideas so that sense and wisdom could prevail. Right at the outset Lynnsay gave us a reassuring roadmap of costings and time lines which has remained reasonably true to how the project unfolded. She expertly guided us through everything from council permits to building contracts and she made all those big and small decisions along the way most tractable. Things that we are so very grateful for include: an aesthetically beautiful home (building is underway and we are beyond excited to see it unfold); her keen understanding of actually building costs, materials, processes, timelines and our budget; a super practical and energy optimised design that is well set up for how we live now, but also maintains liveability as we evolve through various life stages. We have zero hesitation in highly recommending Lynnsay and Lume Architecture.

A 5-star rating is not an easy thing to come by. Just have a squiz at the score of your beloved local Cafe on Google Maps!
Lume Architecture (Design, Architecture and so much more) and Lume Projects (Planning, Construction and more!) are worth every star.
From the very beginning, through to the very end, all of our ideas and questions ... and other ideas and other questions :) ... were all considered and entertained and expertly worked through, one by one. Lynnsay was able to nail the design very early on, with small tweaks here and there - over a cup of tea - being all that was needed before getting the ball rolling. We had a fair few challenges to overcome with budget and a BAL 29 Bushfire Zone being two hanging over the project. In comparison to our previous experiences - of which there have been a couple - this has been by far the most pleasant.
The Lume Team are very talented (see "Floating Gables" and hopefully you agree). I have absolutely no doubt that they'd quite easily navigate one through any dream project, whether a dream cabin in the hills or a flash beach retreat, not many a project would be insurmountable to this Team!

Upon recommendation we sought Lynnsay's council in order to conceptualise our dream home. Lynnsay far exceeded our expectations in every element of the project and has gone above and beyond time and time again. Without Lynnsay's support, we would never have managed to get through the build process without her. We relied heavily upon Lynnsay and her knowledge and expertise proved unparalleled.
We could not recommend Lume Architecture more highly. Lindsay was an incredible resource who served to combat and overcome all of our requests and issues to ensure a seamless end result.
We could not be happier with the architecture and design of our new home.

I've had the great pleasure of working with Lynnsay Prunotto of Lume Architecture to build my house. She carefully listened to me and my husband to understand our wishes and needs. She then created the design which was not only beautiful, but also practical and functional. She is creative, detailed and patient. She gave us substantial support and answered all our questions. She is truly interested in the best outcome for her client.
I strongly recommend Lume Architecture to others so that they can benefit from her professionalism and ability to create beautiful space.

Lume Architecture's client engaged me to design and construct the landscape of their project.
Lynnsay and Marco were a pleasure to work with.
Very professional and experienced in all areas of the project.
Attention to detail was incredible.
I have recommended them both a number of times and will continue to do so.

We have achieved all and above our possible expectations with this project .
We are now the most humble and proud owners of our new home/pool house/extension designed and built by Lume Projects – Marco and Lynnsay Pronotto.
Please feel free to contact us directly as reference and or if local (via arrangement) happy for you to come visit the outcome design and build quality that is the partnership of Lynnsay (Architect) and her husband Marco (Builder).
Cant possibly more highly recommend these folks. Its unique to have an architect and builder working together in harmony.

It was my lucky day when I signed with Lume Architecture.
Not only is Lynnsay an outstanding Architect but also a practical one which is very rare!
The documentation ( Lume Architecture) and execution ( Lume Projects) of building my new home was a complete stress less and joyful experience.
I was always asked for input. On budget, on time!
I have no hesitation to highly recommend Lume Architecture
Kind regards, Corry Sailah

Architectural services were provided for the renovation/extension of our house by Lume Architecture.
Lume Architecture was extremely professional throughout our whole experience and the attention to detail and knowledge was incredible. Decisions were made giving both style and practicality.
We had a very clear budget in the beginning and Lume architecture were very respectful of this.
We worked very well together and were able to voice any concerns throughout the process.
Out project was even completed ahead of time and we were very happy with how everything turned out.
I would highly recommend Lume Architecture.

We hired Lume Architecture to design our "forever house" (and Lume Projects to build it).
All throughout the design process (which took a couple of months), Lynnsay provided a great combination of guidance and openness to our ideas, incorporating what worked and providing - always respectful but firm - guidance on what didn't work, which was very much appreciated. Whenever we were in danger of going down too deep into a rabbit hole, Lynnsay would bring us back and keep things moving.
The careful planning certainly paid off during the building process and beyond in everyday life, with no surprises or modifications on the way. We especially appreciate the practicality of the house and the amount and quality of natural light, which is brilliant.
All in all the design and build were much better experiences than I dared dream possible.
