Although we are a client focused practice Nicholas Murray Architects have always believed the best way to achieve a superb build from the outcome is for the entire process to be a strong collaboration between client, architect and builder. We have also maintained an Architectural philosophy that high quality residential or multi-residential projects must be made by the best craftsmen and from the finest natural materials. Our extensive architectural knowledge of these materials including steel, concrete, glass, timber and stone allow us to create innovative, timeless residences in many inner Melbourne suburbs including Albert Park, Middle Park, Brighton, South Melbourne, East Melbourne, South Yarra, Armadale, Toorak, Malvern and the Mornington Peninsula. 

Developing and building many of our own residential projects Nicholas Murray Architects has a deep understanding of all aspects of not only the architectural design phase, but the construction phase including budget control, building methodology and contract administration.

 Having to respond to multiple site constraints is typical to most of our residential projects. Planning controls, complex client briefs, site constraints and our own desire to push for the highest quality outcome are all complex factors that drive a pragmatic built form outcome. As architects, we pride ourselves in the ability to listen carefully to a client’s specific brief whilst challenging them to consider their future needs. Nicholas Murray Architects is constantly researching environmentally sustainable architecture, design, new technologies, materials and building methodologies whilst filtering trends and short-term fashion. A new building must be considered as a lifetime proposition and we are proud of the timeless modern residential architectural projects we have designed over the past 3 decades.
