Melbourne Studio

We are situated on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin Nation.

Led by Principal Emily Gilfillan, our studio is home to experts in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design who, through a lens of Country, place and people, approach design for the built environment for social cohesion, well-being, dignity and choice.

Take a look at our projects in various sectors, including Cities and Places, Living Environments, Education, Workplace and Commercial.
