Ben Callery Architects is an energetic and enthusiastic studio that provides bespoke architecture. Our team loves working with like-minded people and we develop strong relationships with our clients and builders. Importantly, we subscribe to the theory of taking our work seriously but not ourselves.
We specialize in designing creative sustainable architecture and providing project management that delivers construction to real budgets and timelines. Based in Melbourne, Australia we have designed award winning sustainable buildings across the city’s Inner North, Bayside and Eastern suburbs and coastal locations.
Our sustainable design method employs proven techniques of passive solar design, natural ventilation and thermal efficiency making our buildings naturally comfortable.
Our project management method revolves around regular real assessment of the brief, budget and timelines empowering our clients to make informed decisions throughout the design, documentation and construction process.
