Studio

Kinnear Architects was registered in 2011, after four years of working nights on other people’s houses. The practice has stayed small on purpose: every project has a director on it, and the person who draws the detail is the person who visits the site when it is built wrong.

We work mostly in Melbourne’s inner north, mostly on buildings that already exist. Alterations are harder than new houses and are treated here as the more serious work, not the training ground for it.

We take on eight to ten projects a year and turn down more than we take.
