Open Studio is an ideas-based architectural practice, established in Melbourne in 2005, focusing on contemporary issues of habitation and work environments. The practice is dedicated to providing flexible, durable and non-figurative architecture
Company Philosophy
Open Studio endeavours to make places (1) as appealing, productive & healthy as possible. Architecture has a decisive influence on people’s motivation, performance and health. We have a strong commitment to creating quality environments that reconcile natural, social and economic imperatives. Buildings should stimulate & inspire We believe that design is a collaborative process in which complementary but often mutually contradictory requirements like comfort, technology, economics, aesthetics, etc must be met. Design can be successful only when a balance (2) of all these factors is attained Open Studio does not use predetermined styles. We believe that by the honest use of construction & the efficient analysis of functional requirements, the building should express clarity (3) & meaning that is comprehensible beyond the architectural community Architecture’s most important contribution to the environment (4) is to provide durable & timeless buildings. Quality does not reside in exclusive materials, but in the use of appropriate solutions. Open Studio creates architecture that makes long-term sense for both clients and communities
