Ann has over 10 years of experience in commercial and residential design.  She has successfully designed projects in both NSW and the ACT. Her passion stems from her extensive travelling and love of Architecture. The experience of various cultures and communities has fueled Ann`s desire to create and build on her skill set, enriching the small scale contemporary residential design that is suitable for the Australian environment and local context. The incorporation of culture does not neglect the continuous upcoming and emerging techniques Ann includes in her designs which include both sustainable technologies and building materials. As energy prices continue to soar it is more important than ever to design for the future. To ensure her designs continue to be energy efficient and sustainable well into the future, she also completed study in Home Energy Efficiency and Sustainability and is now an accredited NatHERS Home Energy Rating Assessor. This knowledge will help shape the designs from concept stage and deliver the best of design and energy efficiency. 

Ann does not shy away from challenges and believes that good design is one that evokes and creates points of conversation and not one that is a mere existence on the street. At Ann Kako Design, we don’t just design houses, we “design dreams”, constantly generating new creative solutions for all our clients.
