Wings Way House / MRTN Architects
Settled into the surrounding landscape this coastal home is a place of refuge from the city for the three generations of the same family who regularly use it.
MRTN Architects
MRTN Architects is a design focussed architecture and interior design studio founded by Antony Martin and located in Melbourne. We have a reputation for our unique style and the recognisable homes that we create specifically for the families and individuals that live in them.
Award winning city, country and coastal homes that are sustainable and contemporary. Experienced in designing to local council requirements, including BAL and bushfire prone areas, we are also recognised for our sensitive response to projects situated within a heritage overlay.
Our projects, regardless of scale or type, have in common a considered design approach that results in buildings that use materials wisely and are correctly oriented, sized and proportioned.
Our approach to design is not prescriptive one, we enjoy getting to know our clients and working with them to arrive at an outcome together. This process should satisfy what is required of the brief and the desires for the project but also create something unexpected and wonderful.

The design incorporates original features and materials to create an almost seamless result that leaves one wondering where the old has been replaced by the new.
Trentham Long House / MRTN Architects
Conceived as a collection of contemporary farm buildings gathered under one expansive gable roof, the house’s form is immediately provocative of the traditional farming structures that once inhabited the local area.
Nulla Vale House and Shed / MRTN Architects
Just past the airport the landscape changes from tract housing to pastoral land and small rural communities. Dotted along the drive are old agricultural outbuildings and early settler dwellings. Nostalgia for this connection between land and building was the guiding principle for our Nulla Vale House and Shed.
Rathmines House by MRTN Architects
Rathmines House is an alteration and addition to a Victorian weatherboard house in Fairfield. The poorly planned layout of the existing dwelling contained a lean-too out the back, housing the laundry and bathrooms to the north and living spaces to the south. A narrow corridor provided the only connection to the backyard.
Shadow Cottage Daylesford is a Wood Story in Contrast to a Discrete Industrial Aesthetic
Shadow Cottage Daylesford responds to the landscape and climate context in which it is sited. Living areas are orientated to north and to the west as the house drops away to capture views of the towering eucalypts in the nature reserve.
