Circle Studio Architects (ARBV 51730) is a design-focused practice in Melbourne’s inner west. We are proudly female-owned and believe that great architecture is centred around those who use it.

The practice was borne out of a desire to create fun and interesting spaces, and not being afraid to do things a bit differently. We pride ourselves on being good communicators and listeners in order to provide personalised design solutions for our clients.

Circle Studio Architects is headed by Yvonne Meng. Yvonne (ARBV 18437) is an architect with over 15 years experience in both the private and public sectors across a range of scales and typologies. She has worked for several design practices as well as the City of Melbourne before deciding to become her own boss. She has a PhD in architecture and has taught extensively in the architecture schools at Monash, University of Melbourne, and RMIT. Yvonne is active in Melbourne’s architecture culture and has published articles, sat on Awards Juries, been a past long-standing member of the AIA Editorial committee, spoken at talks and conferences, and curated the monthly PROCESS talks.

Yvonne enjoys a good coffee, pottery, and circus aerials.
