Thoughtful design. Meaningful spaces.
Founded in 2009 by Principal Designer Dan Clift, Square Design is a Sydney-based residential design studio known for its considered, high-quality approach. With over two decades of experience, Dan brings a reputation for creativity, professionalism, and a strong commitment to crafting homes that feel authentic and deeply personal.
At Square Design, we believe the best spaces are created through collaboration. We work closely with each client to understand their vision, develop clear and practical design briefs, and explore creative solutions that respond to their lifestyle, needs, and aspirations.
Our team is passionate about authentic design — design that feels grounded, intentional, and tailored to the people who live in it. From heritage renovations to contemporary new builds, every project is approached with care, curiosity, and a sharp eye for detail.
Based in Woollahra, we’ve built a strong portfolio across Sydney’s eastern suburbs, inner west, and north shore, as well as along the east coast of New South Wales and abroad. We also partner with a trusted network of consultants and builders to ensure seamless project delivery from concept to completion.
Whether you’re planning a renovation, extension, or a new home, Square Design brings clarity, creativity, and integrity to every stage of the design journey.
