About us

Visit site

We are an Architecture Practice based on the Surfcoast, Victoria, servicing Victoria-wide, specialising in designing homes of quality with high-value sustainable principles.

We passionately believe that carefully considered Architecture can contribute to the smallest of spaces and moments. To realize outcomes that are informed, intentional and responsive to their context.

We want to collaborate with like-minded clients and infuse their unique life stories into our design process.

We strive to raise the bar, alongside leaders in our field, to create a better world for future generations and to be proud of the building and design industry to collectively transition to more sustainable practices.

We aim to add quality to the community we design for, no matter how big or small our contribution may be. Our cities and urban areas are products of the amalgamation of a series of small acts and spaces to form the greater fabric we experience and inhabit.

We aim to bring to life the vision of our clients, balancing big ideas while respecting budgets and timelines as important pillars of this multi-tiered process.

Client. Community. Climate.

In the spirit of reconciliation, we at Cooper & Blake Architecture acknowledge the Wathaurong People of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land where we conduct our business today, and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Our Process

01. Define

It all begins with an idea. We take time to hear your story, your goals, and your personal requirements. We work with you to define your scope and provide a brief. We propose an approach to realise your project within the projected budget and timeline.We provide you with a standalone Project Roadmap Package that you can take to your chosen design professional.

02. Sketch Design

After conducting a thorough site analysis to gain a deep understanding of the context of the landscape; we then explore concepts to best locate and integrate your project. At this early stage, sustainability is fundamental to the process and we will design with sustainable initiatives in mind from the onset.

03. Documentation

This is a process that goes through a series of iterative stages as we work with our clients, building professionals, and craftspeople. As we further develop the design we progressively produce more detailed documentation. We will then have a complete design document ready to collaborate with a building professional to commence the construction of your project.

04. Delivery

We strive to have a hands-on approach and to work closely with your chosen builder and various construction experts, as an agent of our clients. We thrive on being on-site to problem solve and ensure the project meets milestones on time and within budget.

“Working with Cooper and Blake Architecture was a delight. The whole experience was so positive and we are thrilled with our new home. Right from our first meeting they listened and took on board our hopes, requirements and ideas of what we wanted to be included in our new home. Their innovative ideas, knowledge and expertise were essential in designing and planning a space that for us feels relaxed, modern, beautiful and encompasses our coastal lifestyle. Our Hamptons-inspired beach home was designed using passive design principles which have proven to work incredibly well. With only minimal use of heating in Winter and minimum cooling needed in Summer, we are enjoying the comfort of our home whilst also pleased to be reducing our carbon footprint”
