Building Design & Interiors

After graduating from Victoria University I worked for a Swiss German Architect which was a great learning experience in coming up to date with cutting edge Architecture and design. I was able to study the thermal importance of buildings which I went on to later utilise by doing a thermal performance accreditation. I later became registered and set up a business Timothy Ellis Building Design.

We are able to work from many different angles on projects and also work alongside other professionals to ensure the designs are the best they can be. The design process often involves the team feedback and owners are also a vital part of their design. I have always aimed to design for your environment.
I am proud to say that over my career my drawings have been presented on Belle Magazine online, a project I did drawings for was featured in Grand Designs magazine in the UK. I am on the Committee of Management of the Design Matters National. I have also taught a night class of Sustainable Building Design and Design Presentation of Architectural Drawings at Victoria University. I keep this sustainable approach to the forefront when designing.

Interior Design Specialist

Yahnay has a classic inbuilt style, a passion for design and when not at work she is styling her own house. Art features in her life and drawing and sketching through to painting add to her skills. Yahnay’s worldwide travels including Europe and Palm Springs have influenced her design and she keeps up with worldwide design trends. After finishing a Psychology degree I decided to pursue my passion in Interior Design.

During my time with GLOW I have delivered many varied successful projects and love working with clients to achieve their design goals. I feel that good design should fit in with and draw inspiration from the landscape around them. The architecture of a home also provides an important backdrop for the interior selections-working as a team allows this connection.

In my work I enjoy using simple honest materials that have a timeless feel. I love to use materials like natural stone and timber layering them with soft elements like linen rugs and curtains to provide warmth and texture. Pulling these different materials together helps balance a space so it feels cohesive.

Pillars

Thermal Efficiency

High thermal efficiency not only helps save the environment, it saves on ongoing costs by using energy wisely. 

Strategic Planning

Specifying details on the plans leads to less costly contract changes and the plans are translated into built form as planned.

resale values

Good design ensures higher resale values.  We design on the latest three dimensional software allowing for pre-visualisation and walk through in the design phase.

Past & Present

We are inspired by past and present Architecture and design and keep up with interior design trends whilst appreciating a classical styles.

Sun & Aspect

Glow represents the sun and aspect. Designing for the aspect and utilising energy wisely will save vast sums over the life of the project.
