MYMYMY Architecture is a Canberra architecture studio that believes residential architecture in Canberra should be “seriously fun”. Something well beyond the ordinary specifically designed for you!
Seriously fun for our clients – To us, architecture is about creating a home that feels unmistakably you. We specialise in crafting bespoke and custom homes that celebrate your individual taste and the unique opportunities of your site.
Our residential architecture ensures every project is a collaboration and a conversation between your lifestyle, your aspirations, the piece of the world on which you have chosen to live, whether this is Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, the South Coast or Australia-wide. From the first sketch to the finishing details, we focus on creating bespoke and custom homes centered on liveability, personality, and a sense of play that makes the residential design journey memorable, rewarding, and “beyond the ordinary.”
Seriously fun for the environment.
As designers of quality residential and commercial architecture, our focus is to work in the intersection where beautiful architecture meets sustainable architecture designs. We use proven and emerging techniques to lower energy use and embodied carbon, while embracing materials that are both responsible and elegant. Whether it’s passive solar design, smart technology, or recycled materials, we create homes that are efficient, comfortable, and ready for the future. We believe that sustainable architecture design should be as delightful to live in as it is kind to the planet, and that resilience and longevity are key indicators of success.
Seriously fun for the Canberra region, and beyond
Our work begins in Canberra and extends to the other capital cities, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and even Darwin. Our designs pay homage to the respective city’s history and heritage architecture while looking forward with a modern sensibility. As proud locals, we champion creativity from within our community – collaborating with artists, makers, and craftspeople to bring the authenticity of home-grown talent into any project. We love to incorporate custom lighting, bespoke furniture, or locally-commissioned objects that add depth and character to your space.
As award-winning architects taking home multiple Canberra Architecture awards, as well as national architecture and interior design awards, we explore what it means to live well in this unique landscape – balancing modern design with heritage sensitivity and environmental mindfulness. Whether you’re dreaming of a bold new build or a thoughtful renovation, MYMYMY Architecture brings creativity, expertise, and a sense of fun to every step.
At MYMYMY, architecture isn’t just about creating a house – it’s about crafting a story, a lifestyle, and designing a home that brings you joy every time you walk through the door.
Exploring the project in-depth enables us to deliver the unexpected and go beyond your expectations. We start with discussions and site visits and investigate what you need and want to achieve. Then taking a step back, we’ll research the context of your project and identify ways to make a positive contribution to the local community and neighbourhood. Examining the existing materials and architectural history helps us gain valuable insights and develop innovative solutions.
Through our open, collaborative approach, we’ll guide you through the design and build of your project from concept to completion, taking the time to make sure our design decisions are clear and logical and you’re informed about what’s going on. We believe client involvement and ideas lead to bespoke and tailored outcomes, resulting in buildings and spaces designed especially for you.
Our designs have a firm foundation in reality. It’s essential that our projects are not only visionary but also functional and feasible. We’ll meticulously investigate all constraints and requirements, whether related to planning rules and regulations or time and budget, to ensure the project is achievable and practical.
Sustainability and quality are ingrained in our work, and every project integrates first principles: orientation, passive design, insulation and air tightness. We advocate for adaptive re-use to minimise environmental impact. We strive to build smaller and better, creating more structures and spaces that are long-lasting and more efficient.
Through our holistic approach, we’ll consider interiors and exteriors together, and many of our projects call for one-of-a-kind elements and details, such as custom furniture, objects and lighting. These bespoke additions – designed in-house and manufactured by our team or local artisans – help achieve a unique and cohesive vision for your project
