Caflisch Architects is an approachable, design based, smaller architectural practice located in Melbourne. We specialise in educational & residential work and are keen to assist our clients in all project types.
Since forming in 2000, Caflisch Architects has undertaken a diverse range of projects in urban and regional Victoria including residential, educational & commercial buildings for private, institutional & government clients. This is what is important to us:
- Consultation – lots of it at every stage of the project
- Discovering how our clients live & work and letting their stories shape our design
- Providing multiple design options for client review – not single responses
- Problem solving and the search for simple answers to complex problems
- Working with our clients, consultants & builders, to test our designs and create better buildings. Design is always about collaboration
- Not having a defined style. The form & aesthetic of each project develops organically from consultation, collaboration and an understanding of the site, all informed by our own design history
- That our buildings are efficient in terms of energy, space and cost
- Seeking sensitive, innovative, practical, affordable buildable solutions
- Designing buildings to engage and delight with texture, colour, spatial variety and light
- Being serious about our work but not taking ourselves too seriously
