HELLO!
Welcome to Circle Studio Architects.
We are a boutique architectural practice making and creating in Melbourne. We are creative problem solvers with a human-centred approach and our goal is simple. We want to create rich and vibrant spaces through projects big and small.
We have a passion for architecture and love things which promote community and social well-being. Human-centred design is at the forefront of our philosophy and our priority is to create bright and engaging places to be in. Collaboration is key to great design, and we're all about that. Have a project or just want to say hello? We’d love to hear from you!
We create spaces with personality.
OUR WORK
Our work spans across diverse briefs and budgets and we love the different possibilities that each project brings. Our priority is to understand the character of the existing context in order to enhance what is there. We are interested in texture, materials, colour, and creating dynamic forms which are complementary to their surroundings. Capturing natural light is key to a good space and this drives our design process.
We care about not only how your space looks, but also how it feels. We aim for high performing buildings which are well insulated and ventilated to create comfortable spaces to inhabit. We analyse site and respond with well-oriented structures to maximise solar gains for low energy consumption.
“Circle Studio did an amazing job on our extension and renovation. They made a real effort to listen and observe so they understood both our functional needs and aesthetics with equal measure.”
- Mischa’s PlaceWHY WORK WITH US
We listen.
This is your sanctuary, and we want to create a space that you love. We like to get to know you so we can best tailor designs to suit your individual needs. We are practically-minded to get the most efficient layout for your site, and we help you choose materials that reflect your personality and lifestyle.
We nurture relationships.
Many hands make good architecture and we believe in fostering great relationships with not only our clients but also our builders and consultants. We are great communicators too. We make sure to check in regularly with you to ensure everything is on track. Also, we like to work closely with our clients - because great things come from sharing ideas.
“They were as respectful and constructive in their relationship with the builder as they were with me, so the whole project ended up going very smoothly for everyone. Forever grateful for my gorgeous new space.”
- Green HouseWHAT WE DO
Building can seem daunting, but that’s where we come in. We offer full personalised architectural services which take a project from the initial idea to handing over the keys and we will tailor the process to suit your project’s needs.
We design holistically. You experience your home as a series of interconnected spaces. To make sure there are good relationships between different areas, we don’t separate ‘exterior’ from ‘interior’ - they are conceived and designed as one. This means spaces flow, and there is a clear logic in how everything comes together.
