tessellate architecture & design Information

At Studio Steven Swain, we believe in the magic of creating spaces that people love to live in, inspired by our memories, art, landscape, materials, and location. Nestled in Melbourne's beautiful Yarra Ranges, our practice is dedicated to crafting enduring and responsive architecture that resonates with people and place. Our goal is to design functional and simple spaces that delight and surprise, with each project developing through lively discussions, experimentation, and collaboration with our Clients, talented professionals and craftspeople. This collaborative spirit is woven into every stage of the design and building process, from start to finish. We view each project as an opportunity to make a positive and generous contribution to the social and built fabric of our cities and communities. Approaching challenges with optimism, we seek to understand how design can meet fundamental human needs and enhance overall well-being. Our projects, whether residential, commercial, wellness, or multi-residential, are united by a commitment to meticulous craftsmanship, sustainability, and thoughtful attention to how people occupy the spaces we create. At Studio Steven Swain, we don't just build structures; we forge connections—between individuals, communities, and the natural environment. Our mission is to enrich daily life, infusing every project with a harmonious blend of rigour and joy, fostering a profound connection between people, nature, and place.
