MRTN Architects
"MRTN Architects was formed by Antony Martin and is located in Melbourne, Australia. We have been working on a variety of interesting jobs that have included new homes – in the city and in the country, transformative renovations and stylish shops.
Antony is closely involved in all projects and has over 15 years experience working as an architect in Australia and the United States. He has been fortunate to work on significant buildings such as the Melbourne Museum, the Apollo Theatre in Harlem and the Australian Pavilion in Shanghai for World Expo.
Our projects aim to have in common a considered design approach that results in buildings that use materials wisely, inherently efficient and great to be in.
The process of design is a long journey but one that is incredibly rewarding for those that go along on the ride. Our clients have made the bold choice to embark on a project and appreciate the value and experience that an architect can bring to the table.
Our approach to design is not prescriptive one, we enjoy getting to know our clients and working with them to arrive at an outcome together. This process should satisfy what is required of the brief and the desires for the project but also create something unexpected and wonderful."
