OUR PRACTICE

Established in 2008, Sky Architect Studio has been a leading force in modern architecture, delivering innovative and bespoke designs across Victoria and New South Wales. As a registered architecture firm in both VIC and NSW, we specialize in a wide range of projects, from contemporary beach homes along the Great Ocean Road to multi-unit residential developments such as Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes, student accommodation, and townhouses. Our passion for modern architecture drives us to create spaces that inspire, combining form, function, and sustainability.

OUR STORY

Founded by architect and director Sky Tiong, Sky Architect Studio began as a home-based office in Torquay. Our proximity to iconic coastal regions has provided us with the unique opportunity to design stunning beach houses from Torquay to the Twelve Apostles. Over the years, we have expanded our expertise to serve clients throughout Melbourne and Sydney, offering custom architectural solutions that reflect both modern design trends and each client’s unique needs.

MODERN ARCHITECTURE

At Sky Architect Studio, we believe in creating homes that are both aesthetically striking and functional. Our expertise in modern architectural design allows us to deliver clean, geometric forms characterized by rectangular shapes, horizontal lines, and large, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood interiors with natural light. We are passionate about incorporating timber cladding and materials that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, delivering a modern, sophisticated look.

A prime example of our work is the Wyndham Beach House, which showcases the perfect balance between modern design and compliance with local building regulations, creating a unique architectural form without compromise.

At Sky Architect Studio, attention to detail is at the heart of every project. From large-scale developments to small residential renovations, we ensure that every element is meticulously planned and executed. Our approach to project management guarantees precision and quality consistency in every stage of the process, from design through to post-project delivery. By working closely with clients, we ensure that every material selection, design detail, and measurement is aligned with the highest standards of modern architecture.

COMPLETION

Our Commitment

We are committed to upholding our most cherished values in every project and task we take on.

We value your unique preference and we strive to add values to the creation of your dream home.

Sustainability

Decisions made at the outset of the project often have the greatest influence on the success or otherwise of creating a sustainable outcome.

While the sitting of a building and the specifications of the materials used in a project are important, truly sustainable buildings engage with their occupants to collectively achieve sustainable outcomes.
