Studio

Mike and Morlly Architects are a residential architecture studio working across Sydney and Melbourne, creating bespoke homes.

Our work brings architecture and interior architecture together as a single, considered act — shaped by site, context, and the way our clients want to live. Each project is approached as a unique response, carefully developed through design inquiry, spatial clarity, and material sensitivity.

We lead projects from early concept through to realisation, maintaining architectural authorship to ensure ideas are carried through with intent and integrity. Our studio is deliberately focused, working with clients who value thoughtful process, design rigour, and long-term quality over standardised outcomes.

Our experience spans private residences, alterations and additions, duplexes, and multi-residential projects, where careful planning understanding and detailed resolution are fundamental to the architecture.

We see architecture as a collaborative but curated process — one that listens closely, edits carefully, and results in buildings and interiors that feel calm, resolved, and enduring.

We believe architecture should be timeless.

Frequently asked questions

How do I book an initial consultation with Mike and Morlly Architects?

Contact us via email at info@mikeandmorllyarchitects.com.au or call 0430 464 296 to schedule an initial consultation. We offer meetings at our Sydney (Mosman) or Melbourne (South Yarra) studios by appointment.

What areas do Mike and Morlly Architects service?

We service all Sydney and Melbourne metropolitan areas including the Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Inner West, Bayside, and Mornington Peninsula. We also take on select regional projects.

How long does a typical residential project take?

A typical residential project takes 12-24 months from initial consultation to completion. This includes 3-6 months for design and documentation, council approval times (which vary), and 9-18 months for construction depending on project complexity.

What types of architecture projects do you design?

We specialise in residential architecture including new homes, alterations and additions, duplexes, townhouses, and multi-residential developments. Our portfolio spans projects across Sydney and Melbourne.

What is your design philosophy?

We see architecture as a collaborative but curated process — one that listens closely, edits carefully, and results in buildings and interiors that feel calm, resolved, and enduring. We believe architecture should be timeless.

Do you offer interior design services?

Yes, we provide integrated interior architecture and design as part of our holistic approach. We believe architecture and interiors should be designed as one cohesive experience, ensuring design intent is maintained throughout.

How much does it cost to build a house in Sydney or Melbourne?

Building costs typically range from $3,000 to $7,000+ per square metre depending on finishes, site complexity, and design requirements. Factors like slope, access, and council requirements significantly impact final costs.

What should I prepare for an initial consultation?

Bring your site details (address, survey if available), any inspiration images, an outline of your brief and requirements, and an indication of your budget. We'll discuss your vision, the site's potential, and our design process.
