At MYMYMY, our approach to commercial architecture in Canberra, and beyond, is all about people – the teams who bring spaces to life and the customers who fill them with energy. We design places that are fresh, inspiring, and functional, ensuring every square metre works as beautifully as it looks. Whether it’s a buzzing café, a modern workplace, or a vibrant retail fit-out, we create spaces with purpose, joy, and a little bit of play.
Our hospitality design in Canberra is shaped by our love of culture and community. We believe great venues become neighbourhood icons — places where locals gather, friendships form, and memories are made. Whether it is a café, restaurant, or wine bar, we ensure these projects are grounded in their local community.
We embrace this intent with bold, welcoming spaces – that work with the food and drinks on offer – to play with all the senses. From considered layouts and material choices to tailored lighting and acoustic balance, we craft venues that feel comfortable and unique.
In retail interiors, we help businesses tell their story through space. Each design reflects the brand’s personality – layered with refined materials, hand-crafted details, and local artistry that make the store memorable. We want your customers to not just shop, but experience your brand through design that’s authentic, engaging, and full of life.
Our workplace design in Canberra focuses on how people work in the modern era – balancing collaboration and focus, creativity and calm.
We design offices that enhance productivity while feeling relaxed, flexible, and fun. Spaces where ideas flow easily, and where teams enjoy coming together.
Underlying all our commercial projects is a deep commitment to sustainable commercial spaces. We believe that responsible design is also great design. From material selection and energy-efficient systems to recycling and reusing fittings, we look for ways to reduce environmental impact while elevating comfort and performance. Whether we’re upgrading a heritage shopfront or creating a new hospitality venue from scratch, sustainability and longevity guide every decision.
At MYMYMY, we’re passionate about creating spaces that enhance the way people connect, work, and experience the world around them. Each project is a collaboration between our clients’ ambitions and our playful curiosity – resulting in commercial spaces that feel alive, purposeful, and uniquely Canberra.
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
