Profile
Nickolas Gurtler Office is a dedicated team of designers distinguished by the belief that design has no borders. Our rigorous approach to design explores the tension between minimalism and maximalism, delivering refined, transcendent spaces that support the rituals of use and challenge established norms.
We interpret our clients’ brand or persona through our own stylistic lens, weaving their essence into every detail. With a commitment to creating immersive spaces that feel good to be in, we believe when creativity is combined with fine detail, we create timeless spaces.
Our spaces celebrate the alchemy of materials, executed with luxurious restraint. We combine influences from unlikely sources, fuelled by our global perspective, reverence for design history and advocacy for emerging Australian art and design. Consistently balancing functional and experiential considerations, our work is underpinned by authenticity and beauty; thoughtfully composed, emotive and transcendent.
Our studio is currently working on projects across Australia and the United States of America.
Nickolas Gurtler Office is a Registered & Accredited Design Entity member of the Design Institute of Australia

Studio Values
Design, to us, should be transportive, immersive and thought-provoking. We seek to design spaces that create intrigue and invite curiosity. Whilst each project is different our studio aesthetic sits at the point of tension between stringent minimalism and absolute glamour, delicately balancing the opposing ideologies together. We call this “restrained glamour”.
Our studio has a commitment to authenticity, a reverence for history and a longing to create. We see the design elements and principles as the language of our craft and we utilise, manipulate and transmute them to deliver spaces that are emotive and highly functional to those who experience them.
With a specialisation in the beauty + wellness sector, our firm has a strong commitment to the ritual of beauty and the significance of wellness.
