about the principal designer_______________________________________________________________________________

Fernando Trajcevski was born in France, his family migrated to Erskineville in Sydney's Inner West where he began education at Erskineville Primary. Moving to Newtown in the mid seventies he attended St Josephs Primary Newtown followed by higher schooling at Christian Brothers in Lewisham. During his schooling years he naturally excelled in maths, arts, crafts & technical drawings which formed an early indication of his future career. Post high school he furthered education in Architectural studies via the Associate Diploma, which covered Residential, Commercial, Industrial Design and Construction.

Early Highlights 1 - During full time studies with some industry experienced students in his class of 25+students, a competition project design of a new beach house on vacant land was required. The objectives involved, concept design, perspectives, artists impression, compliance with development standards and a strict budget. Fernando was awarded first place for the most functional and cost effective design for the subject competition.  

Early Highlights 2 - Also during full time studies, Fernando was eager to implement theory into practicality, and did so by solely undertaking the entire design and project management of his parents home (pictured below) completed in 1995. Having experienced design and construction at this tender stage, Fernando claims was to the foundations to his ability to design knowing well how it can progress into a functional form.
 

Growing up and working in Sydney's Inner West and Eastern Suburbs, he obtained valuable local industry experience with a Sydney Architectural practice,  later joining a large Civil Engineering firm and furthered experience of large scale Commercial & Industrial Construction. Overseas travel exposed Fernando to appreciate international architecture and although developing a personal like for Contemporary Architecture, Fernando insists, “Instead of imposing an architectural period or style, I aim to implement the individual needs & wants of my client whilst considering the Site, the Budget, Functionality, Appeal & Value". 

Established his first company "Pacific homes by Fernando pty ltd" in 1998 which specialized in the design of Luxury Executive Homes. A subsidiary "A A Christian Design & Drafting services" was formed in 2003 specializing in smaller Additions & Alterations projects. The amalgamation of the two gave way to Contemporary Home Design, established in 2005 which caters for all project types & sizes.
