Studio
Studio Frino is a Sydney architecture and interiors practice built on a simple belief: that rigour and personality belong in the same room.
We design exceptional homes, multi-residential projects and commercial spaces with precision, clarity and intention. Every decision is measured and every detail, deliberate.
But we're not a studio that hides behind process. We're a team full of personality, and that shows up in the work. We love design with flair. Bold moves, unexpected details, spaces that feel considered and alive.
Our ideal clients are the ones who care about design the way we do, who want something that feels like them, not a template.
Ana brings a deep knowledge of design history and contemporary practice that shapes everything we touch. Andre brings the technical precision and project leadership to make ambitious ideas buildable. Together, that combination of vision and rigour is what defines Studio Frino.Great design only matters if it gets built. We've spent 15 years learning how to make ambitious projects happen, from navigating council approvals to managing construction with the precision the work demands. We know what authorities need to see, and we know how to get complex projects across the line.
That experience carries through to the build. We stay close to every project through construction, working with builders to make sure what we've designed is what gets delivered. The details matter too much to leave to chance.
Over the years we've built a network of consultants, engineers and builders we trust. For every project, we put together the right team so things run smoothly and the finished result is exactly what it should be. The work is composed. The people behind it bring the energy.

Andre Frino

Director
Andre holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Sydney and a Master's degree from the Royal College of Art in London. He refined his practice across leading studios in both cities before founding Studio Frino.
Andre is the driving force behind every project. He has an instinct for momentum, knowing exactly when to push, who to call, and how to keep things moving. His deep connections across the construction industry mean clients get more than a designer. They get someone who can assemble the right team, hold everyone to the highest standard, and deliver exceptional results on time and on budget.
What clients notice first, though, is how easy he is to talk to. Andre genuinely enjoys the conversation, understanding what people want from their home or space and making sure that vision carries through from the first sketch to the final handover. He leads with clarity, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to getting it right.

Creative Director
Ana holds a Bachelor of Architecture with Honours from the University of New South Wales and a Master's degree from the University of Sydney, where her academic record earned multiple scholarships and awards.

Ana is the creative eye of the studio. She carries an extraordinary depth of architectural and design knowledge, drawing on a varied list of references to shape work that feels both timeless and fresh.

She's also the warmth in the room. Open, generous and never short of a laugh, Ana makes the design process feel like a genuine collaboration rather than a transaction. Clients trust her instincts because she listens, and they enjoy the journey because she makes it fun.Andre holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Sydney and a Master's degree from the Royal College of Art in London.
