About Us

For architect Alex Rubilar and his business partner Antonio La Torre, a building designer and construction manager, the pleasure of architecture comes from working with great people and, importantly, great clients. To see ideas transformed into the built form, whether it be a new house, a renovation to an existing home, or designing apartments, it’s the process as much as the end result that continues to inspire them and their team – working from both their South Yarra and Geelong offices. And for Rubilar, who established RUBI Architects in 2017, the trajectory has been extremely rewarding. Graduating in architecture from Deakin University in Geelong in 2013, it’s a long way from Rubilar’s initial start – building houses in America after migrating from Chile (he initially studied veterinary medicine). While some would have found the transition from veterinary science to building houses a major shift in direction, for Rubilar it was the pleasure of working with his hands and building a house from the ground up – including concreting, roofing, plastering or joinery (the electricals and plumbing being the exception). And while Rubilar could have easily continued on this path, building predominantly palatial homes in New Jersey, he migrated Down Under and moved to Geelong to be close to his wife’s family. And although not formally trained in construction, the extensive experience he gained from his time in the United States presented him with enormous opportunities in the construction industry – initially working as an estimator for a building/engineering company. However, keen to pursue a career in architecture, a lifelong ambition, Rubilar undertook a TAFE course in Building Design which led to him enrolling in architecture at Deakin University - fascinated as much by the history as exploring the possibility of working with new materials. After working for a number of award-winning practices both in Melbourne and also in Geelong where he’s now based, it was time to establish his own practice. And while architects often tend to cover the broader design spectrum, including commercial and institutional projects, for RUBI Architects, the focus has been on residential work – whether it’s a new house, a renovation to an existing home or designing a refined apartment building.
