Architects EAT is run by a talented team of passionate, considerate and detail oriented architects and interior designers.

We create malleable spaces that foster relationships and subtly guide inhabitants through life.

We believe that great design is for the long haul, not just a fad.

We aim to tirelessly finding new and creative ways to push design boundaries.


The places we design play host to the scope of human existence in all of its beautiful, messy and extraordinary glory.

Design Process

The EAT team maintain that the design process for both their residential and commercial projects is driven by a consistent philosophical approach rather than a predetermined style. “All our projects are unique, clients come to us because we have the solutions to their problems and that leads us to doing different things every time. Even when we revisit a previous design, it is often reimagined in a different way,” says Eid.

Creating uniquely detailed projects and avoiding replicating previous designs is a source of pride. The EAT team believe in the importance of context, both in the physical and human sense. “Certain details can be transferred, however the overall aesthetic cannot,” says Albert.

We don’t do signature style, we design from first principles; consideration of site, context, history and environment and the integration of passive environmentally sustainable design principles at the inception of a project ensure our buildings are enjoyed long into the future.

We take delight in the experience of inhabitation and our sensitive approach, attention to detail, and exploration of sensory elements imbue our designs with a tactile and alluring quality.

Our Clients

While Architects EAT are most well known for residential work, their portfolio is much more detailed and broad. Architects EAT have been responsible for place-making in shopping centres, retail outlets, restaurants, bars, play centres and office spaces. The extensive client list includes; Vicinity Centres, The University of Melbourne, The Alfred Hospital, Airservices Australia, SM Capital, AMP Capital, 8Bit, Schnitz – to name a few, together with many more loyal return organisations and private clients.

Anywhere you are, we are too.

Architects EAT are driven by design challenge and innovation. All projects, no matter the size, are a reflection of EAT passion and instinct.

How things are panning out on Melbourne’s burgeoning skyline is questionable. But in the shadow of those weird towers, firms like Architects EAT are doing work that is subtle, refined, location-appropriate, and very beautiful.
