About MAKE

MAKE is a young & innovative design studio that strives to create individually crafted buildings. Our strong focus on quality, and a passion for good design, means all aspects of the building process are carefully considered. Our approach to projects is one of close collaboration with our clients to ensure the design brief is met to the highest standard. We consider even the smallest project as an opportunity to contribute positively to the fabric of its place. A sustainable ethos, responsible social agenda and a site responsive design process is part of every project. We pride ourselves on our friendly and open communication skills.

All MAKE staff are involved in architectural education across RMIT, Melbourne and Swinburne Universities. The combination of teaching and practice ensures a fresh and creative approach to design. The commitment to the education of young architects through teaching and within the practice is an important aspect of the studio.

The studio is located on the Yarra River in Kew next to the award winning ‘River House’. The open plan studio encourages a creative & collaborative work space.
