Metroworks Architects

Since the practice opened in 2000, Metroworks Architects has received recognition in the media and publishing worlds and our projects have also won numerous awards. But despite all that glitz and glamour, the practice maintains a focus on providing architectural design solutions that are both beautiful and practical. Melissa doesn’t dictate elements that must be included in the design, but rather

provides you with the information that you need to make important decisions. Often, there will be more than one way to solve a design issue. An architect’s role is to present you with the options, discuss the pros and cons of each and then step back to allow you to make the final decision. Homes designed just for you and specifically for your site. We are able to assist you with the whole project, from the first sketched idea right through the detailed design to project handover. If you don't yet have a site to build on, Metroworks can also help you assess the suitability of a potential site prior to purchase. Do you need more space to accommodate your growing family, or perhaps your house is a little tired and showing its age? With extensive experience in home renovations, Metroworks is able to create a design solution that will turn an older home into one that suits a more modern lifestyle. Just like a new house, a townhouse development also needs to have a sense of place and feeling of home for its owners and/or occupiers. Our experience in house design also extends to townhouse developments. With a comprehensive knowledge of Rescode requirements and experience dealing with Councils all over Melbourne, Metroworks can help you through the town planning process. The wide range of options available for colours, finishes and fittings can make their selection throughout all areas of your project appear a daunting and overwhelming task. That can easily be alleviated by calling on your architect's experience to narrow down the options for you, presenting samples and information from which you can make your final selections. A relatively new service offered by Metroworks, why not complete your project with a garden also designed by your architect? Maintain design consistency and further enhance the connections between indoor and outdoor areas. We can help you with soft and hard landscaping features including plant selection, garden beds, paths, lighting and watering systems. Sometimes a building project can be made up of a number of smaller projects which may need to be staged for financial or other reasons. For those projects, it’s a good idea to have a Master Plan prepared to set out the scope of all parts of the project as a whole. This allows you to plan each stage and avoid costly overlap. We don't only work on housing projects but also have experience in interior fitouts for workspaces. This includes helping you plan an efficient and inviting office layout, as well as the detailed design of joinery and reception areas. Metroworks also has extensive specialist experience in fitting out dental practices and their associated laboratories and teaching facilities. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM METROWORKS
