About us

Visit site

Established in Melbourne in 2010, Mihaly Slocombe is an architecture studio with a growing portfolio of houses, schools, offices and public spaces.

Central to all our work is our relationship with our clients. We listen, ask and collaborate to make sure we deliver on both the big picture and smallest detail.

For us, design doesn’t just happen at the beginning of our process. It continues every step of the way, from our first sketches through to models, working drawings and construction. The result is architecture that belongs to its climate, connects to its function, and captures your aspirations.

Small or large, we believe that every project is an opportunity for great design. We create bespoke buildings that are efficient, beautiful and unique.

“From the first meeting with Mihaly Slocombe I felt confident that this is the company I wanted to work with. And it was a process of ‘working with’ that I was looking to achieve. Time was spent getting a clear picture of what aesthetics I appreciated, my interests, my goals for the space. I felt listened to, was given options and choices throughout the entire process. Throughout the entire build I was kept well informed about the building team and contractors all of which were professional, respectful and kept to a timeline. This project was to build a unit in a very small confined space however any visitor to it is, like me, completely blown away with the expansive sense of space and light when entering. Cleverly designed storage spaces are concealed behind paneled walls giving a streamlined uncluttered environment. A high pitched ceiling with the skylight facing the sky brings the outside in. I could never have envisioned how much this unit could transform our home life, it’s a restful functional, beautiful place that feels expansive, light and calming.”
