Designoffice

Established in 2008 by Mark Simpson and Damien Mulvihill, our Melbourne based studio creates buildings and spaces for the hospitality, retail, residential, commercial and institutional sectors. We are an award-winning practice creating human-centred spaces that are emotionally resonant and contribute to everyday life. We draw on integrated architecture and interior design capabilities to bring each project’s full potential to life. Across a diverse portfolio, our approach is tailored to individual briefs and client needs, always seeking to make everyday experiences intuitive, valuable and meaningful through design thinking. Within this practice sits Platform, a specialist division dedicated to expressing brands in built form. Platform brings a complementary perspective, applying a strategic, brand-first lens that aligns environments closely with identity and commercial intent. Together, they form a connected practice—complementary in expertise, distinct in focus, and united in the pursuit of spaces that are authentic, effective and enduring.
