‘Our process blends discovery, design thinking, and expert project management to deliver exceptional results every time.’

Alexandra Kidd

Founded by Alexandra Kidd, our studio has always been driven by a commitment to personalised, client-focused design. We specialise in high-end residential interior design and interior architecture, with a focus on tailored solutions that celebrate style, simplicity, detail, and quality.

At AK.ID, we pride ourselves on design innovation and a global outlook. Our passion for excellence fuels continuous research and discovery, ensuring we bring our clients the very best the world has to offer. From concept to completion, every project is carefully detailed and expertly delivered—regardless of scale, budget, or site constraints.

Under the leadership of Studio Director Jessica Gombault, our process is grounded in meticulous project management, thoughtful design thinking, and a deep understanding of each client’s vision and lifestyle.

We believe first-class communication and exceptional service is essential - within our team, and with our clients, trades, contractors, and suppliers. This open dialogue has allowed us to build long-standing relationships and deliver a seamless experience, removing stress from the renovation process so our clients can embrace the journey and truly enjoy the transformation of their home.

The Project Stages

  • Contact our Studio Director today to discuss your project and the design process in more detail.

    This is an opportunity for us to discuss your brief, learn what you are hoping to achieve, and to understand your ideas and expectations around timing and budget.

    If your brief and our services align, we will arrange an initial consultation (either on-site or in our Potts Point studio) to meet with our Founder & Design Principal, Alexandra Kidd.

  • Following our consultation and meeting, we will create a customised Project Proposal for your consideration.

    This will be tailored to your specific needs incorporating your brief, the Scope of Works, the proposed stages required to deliver your project from concept through construction to completion, as well as budget, our design fees and the terms and conditions of the contract.

  • A customised combination of the following stages will make up the steps of your design journey:

    ○ Concept Design

    ○ Approvals (e.g. Development Application, Section 4.55, Complying Development Certificate, Owners Corporation)

    ○ Design Development

    ○ Documentation

    ○ Tender & Contract

    ○ Construction Certificate

    ○ Construction & Inspection

  • The Decoration Process refers to Furnishings & Installation, which is also affectionately called ‘the fun stage’!

    Often in conjunction with stages of the Design Process, we will work with you, and within your budget, to select or custom design furniture, furnishings, accessories and artwork to complement the interior architecture and design. We will ensure that you love each piece and detail as much as you do the bigger-picture design.

    We will carry out quality control of all orders and implement perfect placement and final styling of all items.
