MODE is an international design practice delivering exceptional multidisciplinary outcomes for our partners throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
Our vision is to create real value across a quadruple bottom line of Social, Environmental, Economic and Educative Metrics.
We relate to our clients, their beliefs, their values, their objectives and goals. We seek always to understand their business, their motivations, and their desires.
We value the application of design thinking and processes to broader business, social and community contexts.
We are design leaders, delivering locally international perspectives, which embody the sensibilities of our Partners and users, while being responsive to both environmental, technical and social change and cultural wellbeing and health. We understand the complexity of the modern world and our societies and the need to partner to deliver the exceptional.
We are passionate about design within our community and our business because it plays a vital part in our everyday lives — from the cultural buildings we enjoy visiting, to residential and commercial precincts where we live and work, to the places where our children learn and play, to places which heal, to the vital infrastructure that make our cities function, to the most secure law & order facilities in the world.
We are able to provide a range of services from selecting a single piece of furniture to a whole interior design process.
Loughran Design was established through love for Interior Design. I believe in design concepts and how they can manifest from the simplest of ideas into amazing pieces to love and treasure for years to come. The concepts are developed by nurturing an idea though to a truly unique and personal design for your home or business.
We are here to help with a one off statement piece by bespoke design service or creating a collection with this concept in mind. Our bespoke furniture is made from native Macrocarpa timber slabs and a combination or other locally sourced materials such as sea glass, metal and resin. Or it could be to choose from one of unique treasures personally selected on travels to exotic and beautiful places overseas. Or alternatively we can help with a full Interior Design service. The choice is yours and we would love to hear from you to discuss your ideas and next project.
I have been dreaming about Interior Design ever since I was a child and making treehouse and igloos rather than snowmen and I am still obsessed with it today. My name is Joanne Hay and I am originally from Scotland and my family is from Scotland and Ireland hence the name Loughran; my family name. I am also passionate about heritage and love to incorporate heritage into design concepts.
I love to travel and marvel at the Architecture, Interior Design and homewares (and the food and wine) of that culture. I have traveled extensively in Europe, India and Indonesia and bring home treasures from these beautiful places for my home. I have recently traveled to Bali to source treasures for you to place in your home as a pride of place. I have personally chosen pieces that have been handcrafted by local artisans with amazing wood carving skills true to their heritage.
I have studied and qualified in Interior Design and Building Surveying and the combination of creative skills and technical applications helps when developing designs and building furniture.
