Minett Studio is a Melbourne architectural and interior design practice specialising in considered residential architecture, renovations and new homes throughout Camberwell and the City of Boroondara.

Camberwell is characterised by beautiful established streetscapes, period homes and leafy gardens, alongside an increasing number of thoughtfully designed contemporary residences. Our approach is to create architecture that responds carefully to this context while providing the light, space and functionality required for contemporary family life.

We work with clients on substantial renovations and extensions, new homes, heritage properties and complex residential sites. Our experience includes navigating Boroondara’s planning requirements, neighbourhood character, heritage considerations, ResCode, overlooking, setbacks and constrained inner-suburban sites.

Renovations & Extensions in Camberwell

A successful renovation should feel as though the new and existing parts of the home belong together.

Rather than simply adding more floor area, we look carefully at how an existing house can be reconfigured to improve natural light, circulation, connection to the garden and the way the family uses the home.

For period and heritage properties, our approach is to understand what is valuable about the original architecture while creating a contemporary addition that is confident in its own time. New work can be distinctly contemporary while remaining respectful of the scale, proportions and character of the existing home and surrounding streetscape.

New Homes

For new residential projects in Camberwell, we consider the architecture, interiors and landscape together from the beginning.

Orientation, passive solar design, privacy, outlook, garden space and the relationship between indoor and outdoor living all inform the design. The result is a home developed specifically for its site and the people who will live there, rather than an architectural response that could simply be replicated elsewhere.

Architecture, Interiors & Landscape

Minett Studio offers architecture, interior design and landscape design as an integrated service.

This allows the architecture and interiors to develop together — from the overall planning of the house through to kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, lighting, materials, fixtures and finishes — while maintaining a strong connection between the home and its landscape.

Our aim is to create homes that are beautiful but also highly liveable: spaces with warmth, natural light, thoughtful detailing and a sense of permanence.

Considering a Camberwell Renovation or New Home?

If you love your location but your existing home no longer works for you, we can help you understand its potential.

An initial design consultation can explore opportunities for renovation, extension or redevelopment, likely planning considerations and the level of construction budget that may be required before you commit to the next stage.
