David and Phil met studying architecture at the University of New South Wales. They worked in local and international architecture and engineering firms before establishing their own individual practices. While sharing an office space, David and Phil found a synergy in their approach to architecture and began to work together. Establishing Melocco & Moore in 1993, they have since worked on a variety of projects, including residential, multi-residential, commercial, and community developments.

Our directors, David and Phil, bring a wealth of experience to the table. David graduated from the University of New South Wales in 1987 and has maintained a strong connection with its architecture program as a design tutor, guest lecturer, review panel member, and juror. He is a founding member of the Australian Architecture Association. Philip, on the other hand, began his career in structural engineering before moving to architecture. He graduated from the University of New South Wales in 1988 and became a Chartered Architect in 1989. He has been involved with the University of New South Wales and University of Sydney as a design tutor and jury member and is also a founding member of the Australian Architecture Association.

We love to witness clients moving into a space and making it their own. Happy clients enjoying, using, and understanding the spaces we have created.
