ABOUT

Close

We are a small Australian architecture and interior design studio based in Dubai. Our practice is based on four principles: to create spaces that are simple, enduring, beautiful and connected to landscape. We bring a sense of curiosity to every project and are committed to the idea of doing less, but better. We work closely with forward-thinking clients who share these values, to create thoughtfully considered outcomes that reflect our clients and the wider project context at hand.
As a nomadic studio we take an agile approach to practice, commonly working in collaboration with other small studios to deliver a localised and tailored approach to each project.

KATY ROBERTS

Katy founded Von Trier in 2018, after gaining years of experience working for a number of Australia's leading small architectural practices. Katy brings to each project her passion for creating beautifully conceived and finely crafted outcomes; her approach equally considering architectural and interior design and the interplay between the two.
Katy was educated in Brisbane, Australia and holds a Master of Architecture with distinction, Bachelor of Design (Architecture) and Bachelor of Design (Interior Design), both with First Class Honours. Katy is a registered Australian Architect with the Board of Architects Queensland.
