About Craig Linke

At Craig Linke we specialise in creating beautifully designed, timeless homes that embody exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Our experienced in-house team excels at crafting both heritage and contemporary homes, guided by a design approach that centres on warmth, liveability and uniqueness.

From the first meeting, your vision matters. We tailor a team of highly skilled designers, artisans and experts, ensuring your project is truly personalised.

We prioritise transparency and integrity throughout our process, fostering trust and collaboration with every client.

Bespokeness is in our DNA. No display homes. Nothing cookie cutter. Each Craig Linke project is truly bespoke, with a focus on communication, transparency and exemplary craftsmanship.

Together, we create artisanal homes that not only meet the highest standards of craftsmanship, but also serve as enduring spaces, enriching the lives of those who call them home.

Craig Linke offers building services in metropolitan Adelaide and select regional locations, while our interior design services are available to discerning clients Australia wide.

Conceived in London, refined in California, designed & built in Adelaide

Craig Linke is led by Managing Director, Craig Linke, Managing Director - Interiors, Lauren Zwaans, and General Manager, Jake Devlin.

Our Story & Leadership

Founded in Adelaide in 2014, a stint living and working in London was the catalyst for partners Craig Linke and Lauren Zwaans to start the company. There, Craig had honed his craft as a carpenter working on luxury homes and commercial fit-outs in some of London’s most prestigious locales, including Avenue Road in St John’s Wood, Oxford Street, Saville Row, Kensington, Mayfair, Chiswick Park and Emirates Stadium.

With a passion for both old-world and contemporary architecture, Craig saw a gap in the Adelaide market for a boutique building company that was truly bespoke; a setting where craftspeople could flourish and push boundaries to design and build artisanal homes that will preserve character, improve streetscapes, and endure for generations to come.

Jake Devlin, a carpenter and concreter by trade, joined the company in 2015, quickly taking on a Project Management role on some of Craig Linke’s more complex builds before becoming a partner in the company in 2021.

A second stint living overseas between 2021 to 2023, this time in the United States, saw Craig and Lauren seek inspiration during their extensive travels throughout California, Utah, New York, Boston and Washington DC. From an elevated seaside Hamptons aesthetic, to all-American farmhouses throughout Utah, and the chalets of Lake Tahoe, this inspiration saw the introduction of in-house interior design at Craig Linke.

After supporting behind the scenes since our inception, and following a varied career in marketing, communications, and media - including working with global brands like Meta and Burberry - Lauren joined the company full-time in 2023.

Over the past decade our in-house team has collaborated with local and international artisans and suppliers to bring to life the enduring artisanal homes we are known for.

Client Testimonials

“The quality of the work is excellent. Everyone has come in very professional and very well presented - there’s no one who doesn’t come across that way who has been working on site. I’m really happy with the outcome. It’s great to see the house I’ve lived in since 2002, that had gradually become tired and needed some love and attention, be brought back to life.”

“From the first meeting we felt a connection with the team and were excited to move forward with them. Throughout the planning process and build we felt that the team were as focused on delivering our vision as we were. The end result is better than we could have imagined. We would not hesitate to recommend the Craig Linke team to others and hope our paths cross again one day in the future.”

“We knew instantly that Craig and his team were a perfect fit for our project, a 100 year old Bungalow that needed the floor plan completely reimagined. The attention to detail and workmanship on our renovation has been outstanding. Craig's entire team are talented, hardworking, friendly and considerate. We also used Craig Linke's in-house interior design service and this was another example of how the team was able to bring our visions to life, resulting in interiors of our dreams. We are beyond happy with our finished project and would highly recommend Craig Linke.”
