We’re an Australian architecture and design studio, applying a unique lens to design leadership across architecture, interiors and urban design.
Established in 1983, Studio.SC is a leading practice in architecture, interior design and urban design throughout Australia and beyond.
With studios in Sydney and Melbourne, our diverse portfolio reflects our commitment to innovative and impactful design. From iconic projects across public and cultural spheres to transformative endeavours in urban regeneration, multi-residential and mixed-use precincts, we consistently deliver excellence across all dimensions of the built environment.
Guided by four passionate directors and a team of progressive thinkers, we remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design with unwavering ambition, creativity and expertise.
Buildings and precincts should do more than catch the eye. They should offer something new to the environment – and adapt as the changing times demand of them.
Our architectural process guides us towards these finished products. The focus is on designing sustainable, timeless buildings that offer something unexpected (but never impractical). On reducing our environmental footprint at every step and increasing the economic and social benefits to client and community. We’re not just interested in how a built form looks. We’re inspired by how it feels, how it’s used and how it endures.
Every architectural project we bring to the world is shaped through deep partnership. Whether they’re for public, private or commercial use. Whether they’re small in scale or larger mixed-use locations. We’ll listen to what’s needed, learn where the best opportunities exist – and then lead the project through a proven design methodology towards its best, most inspiring outcome.
A building’s exterior will naturally catch people’s eye – but it’s what inside that can really leave a lasting impression. We design interiors with an eye for the user experience – finding the ideal balance of function and aesthetic.
When you enter a space designed by Studio.SC – whether it’s to dine, rest, work, be entertained or beyond – you’ll feel a seamless connection to the architecture of the building itself. The two co-exist, to elevate every visitor’s experience.
To realise these interiors, we embed interior design thinking from the earliest stages of our projects. There’s no before or after – just a cohesive, collective approach that sees architecture and interior complementing each other throughout the design and delivery process.
At its core, urban design is about connection. Between people and place. City and form. The natural surroundings and the built environment. We draw on our experience in architectural masterplanning to realise engaging, activated urban places.
Working on major, multi-year strategic masterplans and planning proposals means creating locations that can flex and adapt as needed to meet changing market expectations, public and private uses. While this flexibility is fundamental, it never comes at the cost of connection to place. We uncover the most sustainable next steps for each specific site – tthen use strong Urban Design and connection-to-place principles to shape a precinct that reflects the future of our cities.
