Home / Commercial Architects Melbourne
Commercial architecture is where design meets a business case: fit-outs that earn rent, buildings that suit the businesses inside them, institutions that serve their communities without fighting their fabric. The practice's commercial record runs from a subterranean art-room fit-out delivered for a Melbourne primary school to mixed-use and multi-residential development, work that runs to the $20 million scale, with hospitality, shopfront and adaptive-reuse threads through its inner-suburbs portfolio.
DESIGN WITH A BUSINESS CASE
Registered architect Barbara Yerondais FRAIA leads commercial engagements on the same fixed-fee, feasibility-first process as everything the practice draws.
THE LANES
Interiors engineered for use, acoustics and services, not just styling.
Our delivered school fit-out and 235+ community dwellings are the record.
Especially inside older fabric, where our heritage fluency turns constraint into character.
From shop-top housing to precinct scale.
The practice's conversion specialty applied commercially, warehouses, churches and halls given working futures.
Book a feasibility session; commercial feasibility runs numbers and drawings together.
BOOK A FEASIBILITY SESSIONCOMMON QUESTIONS
Both: the delivered record includes institutional fit-out work, and interiors are a practice strength. Scope and services are priced at feasibility, fixed fee from there.
It is a specialty: 59+ heritage approvals and a conversion record that includes the hardest building types. Old fabric is an asset in commercial character, and we design it that way.
START THE CONVERSATION
A full one-hour feasibility session with Barbara, concept yours to keep, no obligation. Commercial time is rent: every month a fit-out waits is a month the space underearns.
Every project begins with a deep inquiry into site, heritage, and vision. Let’s discuss the strategic potential of your next work.
