Our Studio
HuM Architects was created by two long-standing colleagues, with a passion to tread lightly on the earth by creating regenerative architecture, endeavouring to achieve a positive contribution to the fundamentals of place, water, energy, health & happiness, materials, equity and beauty.
With a design studio located in Ascot Vale, our residential, interior and commercial projects extend throughout Melbourne into Regional Victoria and interstate to Queensland.
We build strong lasting relationships with our clients, consultants and builders through our collaborative and engaging process.
As a studio we have committed to sustainable and regenerative practices, and undergo annual auditing to achieve Carbon Neutral certification through the Carbon Reduction Institute.
We are A+ members of the Australian Institute of Architects and are registered as a practice with the Architects Registration Board of Victoria. We are also affiliated with the Association of Consulting Architects and are a signatory to Architects Declare.
We participate in continuing professional development on an ongoing basis to ensure our team is kept up to date on best practice in the industry.
Our experienced project team will guide you on an enjoyable journey while drinking quite a few cuppas and lots of coffee along the way.
