Planet Architecture

At Planet Architecture, we're passionate about creating homes that not only look amazing but also do their part for the environment. As a Melbourne-based architecture firm, we specialise in designing, documenting, and project managing environmentally-sensitive new homes and renovations. Our vision is to create homes that are energy efficient, environmentally-friendly, and emotionally uplifting.

We believe that people and the environment are interdependent, and a good home is shaped by both. We define a good home as the right size for its purpose, bright and airy, naturally cool in summer and warm in winter, made of natural materials, and providing ready access to the outdoors. It's stylish and comfortable yet won't cost the Earth.

Our Services

Our team, led by Director Marie Carrel, offers a comprehensive range of services to guide you through the entire design and construction process. From initial design consultations to project management, we take care of every aspect of your new home or renovation, including obtaining permits, specifying materials, and overseeing construction. Our commitment to environmentally-sensitive design ensures that your home is not only beautiful but also sustainable and functional.

Design Philosophy

We're committed to creating homes that connect their occupants to nature. Our design philosophy is centred around creating spaces that are balanced, enjoyable to live in, and respond to their natural surroundings. We celebrate simple and smart solutions, thriving on creating spaces that are functional, versatile, and adaptable to your changing needs.

The Design Process

Our approach to creating environmentally-responsive architecture is owner-centric. We work closely with you to articulate your personal vision for your home, taking into account your budget, aspirations, and lifestyle. Through in-depth collaborative meetings, we help you answer questions such as where the kids will do their homework, what size house is right for you, and how your needs will change in the future. This ensures that the structures we conceive are not only energy-efficient envelopes but also functional, versatile, and enduring spaces for living.
