STUDIO
Mirvac Design a large practice, of 140 creative professionals, who’s skills span across the disciplines of architecture, digital engineering, interior, lighting, graphic, services and urban design.
From our Sydney Studio, we craft projects, of significant scale, across Australia in a variety of sectors including apartments, build-to-rent, seniors living, housing, office, industrial and retail.
We understand that cultivating a positive and supportive culture, to allow our people to thrive creatively, professionally, and personally, is integral to our success.
Our honed design expertise that comes from 50 years of continuous delivery of built projects, is actively circulated through the Studio by fostering a knowledge sharing culture, mentorship, and hands-on experience.
Our relentless refinement of the final built form, down to the smallest detail, is what underpins the quality and legacy that the Mirvac brand is known for.
Mirvac’s integrated model facilitates close collaboration with our colleagues in Development, Construction, Sales and Marketing, throughout the lifecycle of a project. Our internal feedback mechanisms allow us to have an intimate understanding of our ever-evolving customer, be it an individual or the broader community, who live work or play in the environments we create. This insight is essential in designing for future enduring, enriching, and sustainable communities.
DESIGN ETHOS
Design has been at the heart of the Mirvac since the company was founded in 1972 by Bob Hamilton, a real estate agent, and Henry Pollack, an architect. Mirvac Design, originally Henry Pollack & Associates, has operated as Mirvac’s in-house architectural practice from the beginning.
Our design ethos is centred on 4 design pillars, that guide us in creating vibrant places that contribute positively to life, the urban environment, and the economy, now and into the future.
PEOPLE
Enriching peoples’ lives by designing spaces that inspire, bring communities together and enhance wellbeing
PLACE
Creating inspired places by responding to the whole of place, integrating with the existing community and surrounds
QUALITY
Positioning design excellence at the heart of everything we do to achieve the quality outcomes our customers expect
LEGACY
Leaving a positive legacy by designing places that are timeless, sustainable and enduring for future communities
CARING FOR COUNTRY
Mirvac acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the country on which we stand, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and we recognise their enduring connection to the land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
SUSTAINABILITY
Mirvac is continually championing to improve sustainability outcomes in Australian Architecture and Design. Whether it’s apartments, master planned communities, shopping centres or workplaces, we strive to set new benchmarks, driven by an ambition to be a force for good and to deliver positive outcomes for the environment and people in the communities in which we operate.
INNOVATION
We work collaboratively with the broader Mirvac group to continuously integrate new and innovative design thinking. Our curiosity and drive to push the limits of what is possible supports our uniting purpose to reimagine urban life. Mirvac Design is always developing and investing in our digital engineering capability to allow us to realise building forms that are truly unique and inspiring, have adaptability and efficiency in our workflow, and enhance sustainability through rationalisation of elements for construction.
