Open Creative Studio
Architects
About us
We are a small architecture and interior design firm with a passion for projects that uniquely represent our clients and benefit the rest of the community as well.
While we work using an architectural design process, we are OPEN to anything that allows us to be CREATIVE and collaborative with others in our STUDIO.
We are passionate about providing our clients with a positive experience throughout their projects. There are a lot of new and exciting experiences in the architecture process. To help make this less daunting, we communicate as clearly as possible what the plan is and what's going to happen next.
Everyone who forms the project team has experience that will make our projects special. We put on paper what we'd like to see, our consultants make sure it will work, and our builders and craftsmen make it feel great. Without everyone's input, our designs wouldn't get past the drawing table, so we make sure that we listen to everyone's experience along the way.
We are registered to work on projects in Victoria, Tasmania, and New South Wales.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of work do we do?
We do all types. We've been practising as architects since 2010 working on residential projects including renovations and new builds, as well as commercial projects primarily in the hospitality sector.
In addition to architecture projects, we're also involved in production design and creative direction. If you have a creative project that's a bit off centre we'd love to hear from you.
Do we provide pro bono services?
Yes! We've provided pro bono work in the past and the experience was really great for us. We strive to be as community-focused as possible.
If you are a Charity Organisation or Not For Profit we will happily review your project and assess if we can provide discounted or pro bono services.
We are also part of the Australian Institute of Architects initiative Architects Assist where we offer architectural services pro bono or for discounted rates to people who lost their homes to bushfires and other natural disasters.
How much do we charge?
The fee for your services will depend on the 3 C's of Cost: Complexity, Quality, and Quantity (like the 3 R's of education).
If your project is structurally complex, uses high-quality materials, and is quantitatively large, the construction cost will be high. We'll work with you to balance all of these to meet the budget that you set.
Can you see our work somewhere?
For sure! Seeing our work in pictures is one thing but visiting them in person is something else. You can look into the opening hours of our hospitality clients such as Allpress Collingwood and La Marzocco Melbourne and have a walk around our drawings.
If you like the spaces we've designed we'd love to hear from you!
Are we flexible with payment options?
Absolutely! We understand how expensive construction projects can be and we'd like our services to help get your project off the ground. We're happy to discuss creative deferred payment models so you can get moving with the other important stuff.
Do you know any architect jokes?
An architect told me he had a great joke about architects the other day, but he's still working on it.
