Not All Architecture is a local collaborative architecture practice. We celebrate ideas of many minds by negotiating a common understanding of considered design solutions for meaningful and sustainable buildings.
Our design experience is in residential and commercial building projects. Whilst hands-on construction experience from full house builds, landscaping, interiors and building furniture gives us an understanding of putting things together. We work with talented craftsmen and builders that we have developed relationships with from many years growing up along this coastline.

Not All Architecture are Passiv Haus Certified Designers and a member of Australian Architects Declare group, Surf Coast Energy Group Committee and Institute of Architects Emerging Architects & Graduate Network Committee in pursuit of actioning change to enhance connection and care of our communities and natural environment.
We follow an iterative design process for every project that is both conceptual and practical to give the best available outcome within the means and scope of a project. Knowing that investing time and research into the design process creates long-term value to our clients.
We believe in energy descent philosophy and advocate for a down scaling of our collective carbon footprint at a household level - not just green technology. We implement this through studies of scale, landscape and material compositions.
Our focus is on affordable design driven by the climatic and cultural context of Australia.
Environmental responsibility is fundamental throughout our work, along with a commitment to creating spaces that are a pleasure to experience.
We acknowledge the Wadawurrung People and the Gadubanud of the Maar People as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which we live. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present.
