Planet Architecture

At Planet Architecture, we are a Melbourne-based architecture firm that is passionate about designing and delivering sustainable new homes and renovations that not only meet our clients' needs but also reduce their environmental footprint. Our vision is to create homes that are energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly, and emotionally uplifting. We believe that a good home is one that is designed with the occupant in mind, and that it should be a reflection of their lifestyle, budget, and site conditions.

Our Design Philosophy

We are committed to environmentally-sensitive design and strive to create new homes and renovations that connect their occupants to nature. Our buildings respond to their natural surroundings to protect their occupants from the elements or invite them in, depending on the season. We celebrate simple and smart solutions and thrive on creating spaces that are balanced and enjoyable to live in. As green designers, we are committed to creating highly functional layouts that eschew wasted space but feel spacious and provide a sense of connection to the outdoors.
