The Icono way
Rod McMullen
Managing Director · Senior Designer · Dip. Bld. Des.
The practice
Friendly, flexible, and listening closely to what you want to achieve.
Icono has been designing homes, schools, retail fitouts and unit developments from a small Wagga studio since 2003. Founded by Rod McMullen · Accredited Building Designer No. 6262 (Medium Rise) · the practice now also includes Architectural Graduate Jared Milne (BArch Hons.).
The work covers residential, commercial, multi-residential and interiors. Project reach extends well beyond the Riverina · completed work spans Canberra, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, the NSW South Coast, Bendigo, Shepparton and as far north as Yeppoon. The approach hasn’t changed in twenty years: free initial consultation, written service agreement, principal involvement on every brief.
