Modern Day Concepts is a comprehensive building design company based in Mawson Lakes, South Australia, delivering quality architectural design and building documentation to Adelaide clients since 2005. Founded by Rick Buick (Dip Building Design & Technology), the practice has built its reputation on one core belief: your home should be as unique as you are.
Rick and his team serve homeowners, investors, and first-time builders who refuse to settle for a standard project home plan. Whether the brief calls for a striking modern architectural design or a more traditional aesthetic, Modern Day Concepts handles every stage of the process — from initial sketch concepts and planning lodgements through to completed building rules consent. For clients without a builder lined up, the team can also connect them with trusted custom builders to bring their project to life.
Services span residential new builds, renovations, prestige dwellings, group developments, subdivisions, and commercial projects of all scales. A standout offering is the practice's VR Virtual Tour capability, allowing clients to experience their designs in immersive detail before a single brick is laid.
What sets Modern Day Concepts apart is Rick's hands-on, client-first approach. He takes time to sit with clients, listen carefully to their ideas, and translate those ideas into design concepts that genuinely reflect their lifestyle and vision. He's also known for helping clients make smart decisions around budget — guiding where to save and where to invest for maximum value.
With nearly two decades of experience and a portfolio of glowing client testimonials, Modern Day Concepts has earned its place as one of Adelaide's most trusted building design practices. For anyone ready to get their neighbours talking, Rick and his team are just a call away.
