We believe that the process of working with your architect should be an enjoyable and exciting experience. We enjoy bringing clients along the whole journey, guiding them in the right direction, and then seeing their reactions as their dream home evolve from lines on a page into a reality.

Our Philosophy:

At SANTELLE Architecture & Interiors, we have a belief that architecture goes beyond simply designing buildings. We believe it's about creating spaces that deeply connect with the people who use them and effortlessly bring people closer to their surroundings.

We value both architecture and interiors equally, starting each project with a clean slate. We explore various ideas, constantly testing and improving them until we arrive at a design that exceeds your expectations. We're not just designing homes for today or following trends; we're crafting spaces for generations to come. As caretakers of your vision, our role is to capture the true spirit of the location and your aspirations, and use that to create a stunning and functional sanctuary. We truly capture the essence of your vision and bring it to life in a way that will leave a lasting impact. After all, architecture is meant to enhance and enrich life.

Collaborative Approach:

Collaboration drives our work. Together with our clients we embark on a journey to transform ideas into beautifully designed homes. We also partner with consultants and construction professionals. We know that designing and building your home is a significant investment of your time and finances. Our trusted network ensures the perfect team for each project, a combination of creative and practical expertise to guide you throughout the entire process. Our team will provide you with professional advice every step of the way.

Site Integration:

Understanding the connection between a residence and its surroundings is key to our approach. We believe that a home should be an extension of its environment, seamlessly blending in and enhancing your connection to your surroundings. Whether it's a serene countryside retreat or a vibrant urban dwelling, we meticulously study the site's characteristics to ensure that our designs harmonise with the natural surroundings.

Innovation & Creativity:

Innovation and creativity drive our designs. We use 3D modelling technology to explore creative opportunities that respond to your brief and site. This allows you to envision the concept from the beginning. This not only fosters a deeper connection to the project but also allows for collaborative refinement as we collectively mould new ideas into beautiful architectural realities.

Danielle Sant registered Sydney architect specialising residential architect

Danielle Sant

Principal and Nominated Architect (NSW Reg. 9687)

Bachelor of Architecture, UTS 2010 & Master of Architecture, UTS 2012

Meet Danielle, an architect whose passion for design was ignited during an inspiring architectural study tour of Los Angeles in her graduating year of university. It was there that she explored the iconic Case Study Homes. Beyond the shag carpets and '50s aesthetics, Danielle discovered that these homes symbolised a significant shift in the way people lived. The design responses were a direct reflection of how people aspired to live, and the innovative materials and layouts used in these homes left an indelible mark on her architectural journey.

Danielle's graduating project design earned her the prestigious third prize in the d3 Housing Tomorrow competition, an accomplishment that proudly landed her project in the Mississippi State University School of Architecture exhibition.

Driven by her passion for homes and their capacity to enhance our way of life, Danielle embarked on her professional career. She began her journey at Beverley Garlick Architects, where she honed her skills working on inner-city urban homes. Danielle's career path continued at Michelle Walker Architects, where she had the opportunity to work on an array of projects, from seaside homes in the Northern Beaches to character-filled residences in the North Shore. Personally, Danielle's own life journey has seen her transition from apartment living by the sea to embracing the serenity of acreage.

In her current portfolio of work, Danielle's architectural experience spans a diverse range of properties, including suburban, urban, and acreage residences. She uses 3D modelling to bring her designs to life, so clients can have a better understanding and connection to the architectural vision. Danielle has been a member of the Board of Architects of NSW since 2015.

The true reward for Danielle is witnessing each project's completion and the families moving into their new homes. She takes immense satisfaction in guiding clients throughout the entire architectural journey, providing expertise and direction. Danielle's dedication to enhancing the way we live through thoughtful and innovative architecture shines through in every facet of her work.
