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.
