About us
Since 2002, the Austin Maynard Architects team has built up an exciting and diverse portfolio. The practice is not inhibited by building type, but rather navigates residential, retail and commercial arenas and is rich in envelope-pushing conceptual designs. Austin Maynard Architects explore architecture of enthusiasm. Treating each project as a unique challenge, and working directly with clients and occupants, our team offer individual possibilities and thoughtful responses to people, brief and place. We embrace deliberative design and look to issues of liveability, culture, heritage, community connection, mental health and cures to modern isolation. We pride ourselves in sustainable design and experimentation. Ideas are concept rich, left of centre, playful and environmentally conscious; styles and singular themes are avoided. At Austin Maynard we specialise in ideas rather than building type, whether the project is a house in Fitzroy, a library in Japan, a protest shelter in Tasmania or a plywood bicycle.

Join three industry leaders as they discuss design-driven reforms for a more liveable, sustainable, and affordable Melbourne! We are excited to announce our biggest event yet: Unbanning Beauty with kerstin thompson (KTA), Andrew Maynard (Austin Maynard Architects), Colleen Peterson (Ratio Consultants). The Victorian Government is right now rewriting the laws and legislation that govern how the city we live within looks and feels. That means we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform Melbourne's design regulations to empower our city to become a world-leading urban landscape. Join us for an evening with three titans of industry as we discuss the struggles of the current system, and present clear, actionable reforms to create better outcomes for all. 🎟️ Grab your tickets here, before they're all gone: https://lnkd.in/gXtxcunK
