Who is Nest & Furrow anyway?
Hi there, I'm Melissa! The face behind Nest & Furrow.
Honestly, there wasn't much of a choice for this girl...born with a love for the creative and surrounded by a family of builders and DIY enthusiast, Interior Design & Building Design was a natural progression.
​
Now with over12 years of industry experience and a lifetime of getting my hands dirty, including building my own dream home, I use my knowledge and passion to help others bring their building or interior design ambitions to reality.
​
Helping you navigate all possibilities, opportunities, practicalities and the boring regulatory parts. From concept to completion, I'm at your service.
​
Servicing the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie & Hunter Valley areas.

Paul - Grainery Care
"Mel has always been easily contactable and has carried out her work in a timely way - producing excellent plans and providing support and guidance with DA's, certifiers, engineers and other required reports, builders and Council. I cannot speak highly enough of the professional and creative way in which Mel has helped us through from design to delivered project and recommend her for any building design or interior design jobs that you need."
Alex - See Hear Speak Psychology
"Mel was amazing to work with. She took our vision for our allied health practice and designed a beautiful space that would allow us to expand over years to come, and would be inviting and engaging space for young people and their families, as well as our staff. Mel has a great eye for detail and deep knowledge of building requirements that made designing the initial space straightforward. She was easy and quick to communicate with, and accommodated any changes/modifications throughout all stages of the design process. We are so happy with the space she has helped us create."
Russell - Veranda Extension
Melissa provided building design services for our rear deck extension. We were very happy with the service as Mel took the time to visit us onsite, understand our requirements and took initiative to add value by suggesting removal of existing veranda post to enhance views. Mel took care of the engineering consultant and private certifier so that gaining our construction certificate was as easy and painless as possible. Would have no hesitation in recommending Melissa to anyone looking for a quality building designer.
Tim - Hart Residence
"Melissa designed our spec house and did an exceptional job. The block of land was a very complicated shape and she came up with multiple designs that worked well. She went above and beyond. Highly recommend."
