We specialize in designing creative sustainable architecture & providing project management that delivers construction to real budgets & timelines. Based in Melbourne, Australia we have designed award winning sustainable buildings across the city’s Inner North, Bayside & Eastern suburbs and surrounding coastal and rural locations.

We specialise in residential-scale work and undertake projects that range from extensions and renovations to new homes and multi-unit developments. We believe that good design should bring to life the ideas and aspirations of clients, maximise the potential of sites, enhance and add to the characteristics of existing structures and environs, be economical and environmentally sustainable. We are passionate about bringing these principles to bear on every one of our projects. Our process emphasises close engagement with our clients in order to understand their needs and ideas, to distil them and use them to develop a truly satisfying design. It is based on the notion that a good design must in some way reflect the client’s own aspirations, philosophy and lifestyle. Our process encapsulates the notion that service delivery must be thorough to provide for successful outcomes. From the earliest stages we familiarise with and understand the site, its context, its constraints and potential in terms of orientation, direction of views, topography, neighbouring properties etc. Our process involves a commitment to applying practical and environmentally sustainable design principals that respond creatively to spatial planning, building controls, planning guidelines and client budget.

Architected is a small, Melbourne based design studio, commited to a personal service. We will provide one-on-one advice and guidance for your project, along with unique design skills and space planning ability. The company was born out of a perceived need for accessible architectural services. The director, Stewart Brooks was regularly being asked for advice from friends and acquaintances regarding their own properties. Through this experience he realised there was a need for good architectural advice either during the purchase of a property or before embarking on a renovation or extension. Many people are reluctant to engage an architect for the entire project due to budgetary concerns, when all they need is some sound architectural advice at the right time. The Concept Design Service caters for this need. Only a limited number of full projects are taken on each year. These projects are chosen not always for their size- but mainly due to the clients open mindedness and design aspirations. At Architected we understand all client’s requirements are different, and all existing buildings have unique challenges. Through our extensive experience we always come up with exciting design solutions that allow a client to understand the potential of their home quickly and in a cost effective manner. We tailor spaces for their inhabitants and how they live, that are energy efficient, and reflect the owner’s true personality.

Taylor Knights believe in creating exciting and meaningful spaces that can enrich our lives. We believe that good design is spirited, thoughtful and a joy to experience. We are a Melbourne-based practice of architects and designers, established in 2013. Our approach to the design process is a simple but rigorous one that draws deeply upon understanding and responding to that which is essential: the senses, the seasons, the environment. We take delight in creating and discovering these moments in each of our projects. As a studio, we relish the concept (and the challenge) of ‘hard-working’ design – the idea that good architecture can and should be beautiful, considered, flexible, and enduring. We are a team with an appreciation for the craft of building and making, and we admire and look to the skills of our trades to help realise our projects. We aim to create unique, highly sensitive and engaging spaces that are a true reflection of their evolving context and situation which can be enjoyed now and into the future.
