   Alexandra Donohoe Church

   Creative Director & Founder, BA.IntArch

   “Spark Some Bloody Joy”

   Ever inspired by her surroundings, Alexandra naturally imbues inspiration from her youth in the US and subsequent world-wide sourcing trips into homes for clients across the globe. Alexandra’s international inflexion is grounded in an affinity with the Mid-Century Brazilian designers of European decent, who forged a new frontier challenging the modernist masters into a more human, organic and textural way of living. Understanding the visceral power of form, balance and tension, Alexandra’s nuanced approach to her projects exquisitely combines refined curation, whimsical detailing and provocative combinations of finish.

   Sarah Wilson

   Associate, BA.IntArch

   “Dangerously decorating since 1980-something”

   While Sarah’s expertise lies in high-end residential, she started her career designing luxury hotels. This experience in crafting a ‘home away from home’ influences Sarah’s luxurious yet warm design sensibility. As a mother herself, Sarah gets a thrill out of designing sumptuous homes for raising modern families. Once keen to pursue fashion design, Sarah has an excellent eye for colour, composition and finishing details, driving her refined sense of scale and harmony over trends or ostentation.
