Jodie Duddington is a qualified Interior Architect with a varied history in residential, luxury marine and hospitality interiors as well as bespoke furniture and set / production design.

Loop Studio offers Interior design and styling with a preferred emphasis on ecologically sustainable solutions. Jodie founded Loop Studio (previously Duddington Design) after working for several years on multimillion dollar superyacht interiors.

“After the GFC depressed the Superyacht market in Australia I turned to my long held love of ecologically sustainable design and its imperative place in modern society and current building practices. Interior design, by its very nature, is consumerist and wasteful but by looking closely at material and products choices and the psychological and physiological “mechanics” of how we expect our interior spaces to function we are able to create not only healthy and useable spaces but cost effective and beautiful spaces.”

Loop Studio aims to resolve the gap between perceptions of “Green” design and “luxury” design. As well as being conscious of its environmental and social effects Loop also thinks it is extremely important for design to be fun, ingenious, boundary squashing and nostalgically visionary.

Loop Studio will be sharing space and working in conjunction with the Hunter Sustainability Designers & Consultants. Loop will provide interior design, styling and bespoke furniture design for any project that should require assistance. It is also working towards becoming an advisory resource for ecologically sustainable interior products and materials. The door is always open and ideas and information will be flowing freely through it.

We asked Jodie what inspired her to get involved in Renew Newcastle?

“Having not only a space to work out of but a connection to the community and the chance to be involved with that ‘evolution of a city’ is why I am involved with the transformative Renew Newcastle.

When I relocated to the Hunter from Perth 3 years ago I saw a great similarity between Fremantle and Newcastle. Both are historical working port cities with an unflinching sense of self. The Renew Newcastle project is about encouraging a dialogue between that ageing port city going through yet another identity transformation and the grass roots creativity and ingenuity that will help to drive that transformation forward."

Location

The space is located centrally in the Newcastle CBD at Suite 76, Building 3 (its the 2nd floor up) in Market Square, just off the Hunter Street Mall. We have a foyer, a private meeting room, some common spaces as well as separate offices. Most spaces have good south facing windows, and fresh air.
