Design Philosophy
"Every project starts as a case to be solved. I find design clues in the dimensions, existing architectural style and history of the space; the purpose to which it will be put; and perhaps most important of all, in the needs and nature of the client."
"My job is to bring to life something that already exists in the mind’s eye of the client… even if they don’t know it yet."
"I like to think that when people move through a space I’ve designed, they’re unaware of the detail; they simply feel comfortable because it makes sense on every level, both theoretically and aesthetically."

Meet Darren
Life can sometimes deliver you to a surprising, unplanned destination.
That’s how things turned out for Darren. When a distinguished 20-year career in the NSW Police came to an end, the next life move wasn’t immediately clear. He started a small landscaping business, and at the same time a childhood talent for sketching began to assert itself, a creative counterpoint to the stresses of his previous life as a detective.
Clients began to seek his advice on how to utilise outdoor areas, his natural instinct for finding the harmony between design, function and utility creating spaces that still delight years later. As word-of-mouth demand for his services grew, so did his desire to unlock the principles of his new passion.
A Bachelor of Design degree majoring in Architecture was added to his Bachelor of Social Science and Master of Public Policy degrees.
He might have taken a long way around, but this is precisely where Darren Shearer was always meant to be.
A unique combination of credentials and credibility
This unique, holistic combination of qualifications and experience makes Darren one of the few people with both the credentials and the credibility to advise and comment on any aspect of built environment design, from private dwellings to public spaces.
Total commitment
Darren commits both head and heart to every project, so expect nothing less than his 100% dedication to bringing your project to life.
