Building Design
- Creating your Ideal Home
Ideal House will design a home that work with you, and for you.
Using passive solar design, cross ventilation, smart orientation and high performance materials - we create beautiful comfortable spaces and practical designs that allow you to enjoy your home year round.
Practical home design means your home performs for you the way you want it, with both the building and the interior design. Layout and function are a priority in the planning. A functional, practical home makes living in it easy.
Sustainable doesn't mean compromise, it means a house that works for you and with you, creating your Ideal Home.
Interior Design
- Kitchens, bathrooms, space planning
Interior space planning, with particular expertise in kitchen, bathroom, and storage design helps bring functionality
into your home.
Collaboratively working with my clients, I listen carefully to your lifestyle, preferences, and ideas - visualising what you envision, refining them into cohesive, functional spaces that feel authentically yours.
From optimising kitchen workflows, so they function perfectly, to creating bathrooms that are beautiful but practical, to planning efficient storage solutions - using space integrally so nothing is wasted.
I guide each project from initial concept to the completion of your beautifully realised home—ensuring every detail is both practical and personal and works just right for you.

Hello, I'm Jodie, the founder and creative force behind Ideal House.
With Diplomas in Building and Interior Design, I bring a solid foundation in creating homes and spaces that are not only beautiful but also thoughtfully efficient. With qualifications in energy assessing, I specialise in designing homes that prioritise sustainability, energy efficient builds that help you live well without compromising
on style or comfort.
What truly sets my approach apart is a deep commitment to individuality. Where my background truly shines is in borrowing the freedom of art and pouring it straight into home, designing with bold, artistic flair to give you energy-smart spaces that feel alive with personality.
I'm an intuitive designer at heart. I listen closely to your vision and translate it into reality with an uncanny ability to step into your visual world and see what you see. This collaborative process ensures the end result isn't just a house, it's your home.
I've spent more than 30 years lost in the thrill and excitement of creating art: switching between mediums be it paint, acrylics to watercolours, natural textiles to canvas, fabric, really whatever caught my eye, always chasing the beautiful, the unexpected, the utterly one-of-a-kind.
Above all, I'm passionate, caring, and deeply involved in every project. My goal is simple yet profound: to help you create your ideal home, a place you love coming home to, a space that's authentically and unapologetically yours.
