Preston Lane Architects is an award-winning architecture firm with offices in Melbourne and Hobart, Australia. Their design philosophy emphasises how architecture interacts with its users and the broader environment, focusing on materiality, spatial quality and emotional resonance in each project.
The studio’s portfolio spans a variety of typologies—from finely detailed residential homes to small-scale commercial buildings—yet they maintain a consistent commitment to thoughtful, context-driven solutions. Their approach challenges conventional constraints by asking how a place, a brief or a modest budget might instead become an opportunity for inventive design.
