Our Silent Auction offer is your opportunity to meet with an experienced, local, residential architect – to get your home renovation off to a great start – and support Fitzroy North Primary School at the same time.

Your week days are full.
Your weekends are hectic, occupied with family, friends, sport….
Life, weeks, months fill quickly and sail by. Before you know it you’re at the end of yet another year and building your renovation hasn't even started!
And your home?
Back when you purchased it was charming, novel, and you had such good intentions to renovate. In reality though, time marches. Now your good intentions to renovate seem further way, the kids are growing up and your old dark, draughty home needs that renovation even more.
But what do you do?
How to get started?
Life’s too short – your renovation needs a kick start now - while there's still time to enjoy making memories with you kids.
Let’s get your project going NOW!
Help yourself to a Kick Start Consultation and support Fitzroy North Primary School Fete, 2025.

This Silent Auction “Kick Start Consultation” has been created for one very lucky individual, or family, considering building a new home, renovating or extending their existing inner city home.
In the first instance it’s an opportunity to speak with a local residential renovation expert about your home renovation aspirations. We will introduce you to the who, what, where, and how to renovate extend and build a home in the inner city.
This offer is a no obligation consultation with Cathi, of COLLA Architecture and interior Design (previously Cathi Colla Architects). Cathi is a local resident of Fitzroy North, and has since 2011.

This Kick Start Consultation is for homeowners in the Fitzroy North Primary School area* who are considering – or are already on the path towards – renovating, extending, or building a home in the area.
Our Kick Start Consultation would suit an individual house, a terrace, townhouse, or apartment. It’s also suitable for a multi-generation home.
WHO ISN’T THIS FOR?
We believe in architecture that's ‘fit for purpose’, and design to enable a comfortable, healthy home for now, and for a healthy future. If you are a developer, or are renovating a home for resale, then this Consultation is not for you.
