01 — Practice
Vale & Stone is a small residential practice working on houses, additions and apartments across Sydney. Every project begins with the rooms you use and the light you want, and ends with drawings a builder can price without guesswork.
Principal — Imogen Vale
Imogen Vale is a registered architect with fifteen years in residential practice, and the principal of Vale & Stone. She has designed more than forty houses and additions, mostly on tight inner-city sites and in bushfire-prone country. Her work is quiet and material: brick, timber, off-form concrete, and rooms that hold the afternoon sun. She stays on site through construction, because the details that matter are settled there.

Every engagement starts with a direct conversation about what outcome matters.
03 — Evidence
In their words
Imogen found us a courtyard we did not know we had. The house is unrecognisable in the best way.
K. Sanderson
Paddington
Every drawing was resolved before the builder started. No variations, no surprises.

She was on site every fortnight for a year and it shows in the joinery.

04 — Questions
Questions clients ask
- What does a project cost to design?
- Design fees are a percentage of construction cost, quoted once we understand the brief and the site. You receive a fixed fee for each stage before it starts.
- Can you work with our builder?
- Yes. We are happy to document for a builder you trust, or to recommend two or three we have worked with recently.
- How long does a house take?
- Typically twelve to eighteen months from first meeting to moving in, depending on approval pathways.
