Francesca Elischer’s roots in commercial design and eye for detail marry perfectly with a dedication to sustainability & responsible design that has truly flourished over the course of her career.
As the daughter of renowned architect Julius Elischer, Francesca quite literally grew up on building sites, where her passion for the process was ignited. Studying and working in the field from age 16, she found her feet in Singapore and Prague, where she was immersed in the world of hospitality, working for international design firms on large-scale projects.
With a career now spanning three continents and four decades, her work has continued to diversify, from working on concept design for the Sydney Olympics to lecturing at universities and sitting on boards for both the SRD (Society for Responsible Design) and the Design Institute of Australia.
Striking out on her own, she turned her hand to home design and nurtured a talent for creating spaces that are visually inspiring whilst still feeling like home. During this time Francesca set the record for resale value in the prestigious Perth suburb of Nedlands, after tripling the initial valuation of a home originally designed by her father.
Building upon that success whilst looking for a change of pace after the birth of her daughter, she spent a total of 10 years renovating environmentally anchored homes in both Australia and New Zealand and working with organisations centered around socially responsible development.
