Design with thought, build with care.
At Shelley Roberts Architects, we are a boutique architectural studio specializing in apartment renovations. Our expertise lies at the intersection of architecture and interior design, where we redefine and re-fashion inner urban spaces to create beautiful, functional homes.
Our Philosophy
Good design relies on good project management, a cohesion of all the elements that go into a project, from supplier to builder, design to construction, we are a part of every process. Located in Melbourne's central business district, we have a unique relationship with space and light, often working where both are scarce. With functionality and an unwavering focus on livability, we revise and reconfigure, manipulating whatever little or expansive space is available. Sustainability is an integral element of our ethos, clever use of the existing can equate to a better design and money saved in the end. Simply put, we design with thought and build with care.
Our Services
Our services encompass a wide range of architectural and design solutions, including apartment renovations, interior design, and project management. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and preferences, and tailor our services to meet their unique requirements. From concept to completion, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality designs that exceed our clients' expectations.
Our Principal
Shelley Roberts, our principal architect, has a successful career in haute couture and brings an unusual perspective on the functional applications of space. Her experience living in an apartment herself has given her a deep understanding of the issues of noise, light, and air circulation that are common in urban living. This expertise allows her to design and renovate to minimize these problems, making strategic use of available space and optimizing its use.
Sustainability
At Shelley Roberts Architects, we are committed to sustainability and have pledged to go carbon neutral. We believe that architects have a critical role to play in shaping the built environment and reducing our carbon footprint. We work closely with our clients and suppliers to reduce waste, reuse materials where possible, and promote sustainable practices throughout the design and construction process.
