Feather & Lawry Design

What Feather & Lawry Design does

Feather & Lawry Design is a privately held architectural and interior design practice headquartered in Toowoomba, Queensland, founded in 2003 as an interior design agency and expanded in 2012 to offer full architectural services. The firm operates three integrated service lines — architecture and masterplanning, interior design, and art curation — supported by an in-house sub-brand, Feather & Lawry Gallery, which sources and installs artwork for client projects. Under co-directors Tess Lawry (Senior Designer) and Michael Fleming (Senior Architect), the practice serves residential, commercial, education, healthcare/aged care and government clients across Queensland, Northern NSW and (per operating geographies) Northern Territory.

The practice is built around conventional design technology — AutoCAD and Revit for documentation and presentation modelling, paperless design workflows, and an in-house BIM/CAD manager — underpinned by an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certification. Service delivery is project-based and custom-tailored, with no public pricing, no productised offerings, and no SaaS, API or platform component. Notable enterprise and institutional clients include the University of Southern Queensland, FKG Group, Ray White Toowoomba, Toowoomba State High School and Hope Horizons.

The business model is professional services fees on a project basis, sourced primarily through direct client engagement from the Toowoomba studio and amplified by word-of-mouth referrals. Distribution is single-channel (direct sales) across regional Australia; marketing is portfolio-led via the firm website, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook, supplemented by industry awards (Australian Institute of Architects regional awards and Grand Designs Australia shortlisting). The practice is founder/director-operated with no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries and no parent entity.
